Bidding farewell to the Powell River Queen

On January 17, we invite you to join us at the farewell event for the Powell River Queen, as we recognize the valuable contribution the ship has made to our crew, residents, and visitors during its 58 years of service.

Employees, past and present, as well as the community will have the opportunity to say their goodbyes both on board the vessel as well as at Quathiaski Cove Terminal.

On board celebrations

As the vessel completes its last day of service, special announcements will be made recognizing the ship’s history and contribution to fleet.

Those not planning on travelling on January 17, will have the opportunity to celebrate and say farewell to the vessel at Quathiaski Cove Terminal. Highlights of the vessels history will be on display, along with a guest book for signing and light refreshments.
