BLANC-SABLON, Que. — Crews are assisting a Newfoundland and Labrador ferry that has been stuck in the ice-choked waters near Quebec for more than 24 hours. The Canadian Coast Guard tweeted Friday afternoon that an icebreaker is escorting the Apollo ferry to port after being stranded near Blanc-Sablon, Que., since Thursday. The coast guard sent an icebreaker to help the ferry, but says it could not help the vessel due to a mechanical issue. Dave Leyden says the delay has caused a “major disruption” to people’s travel plans over the Easter weekend.
