Winter Operation of the Howe Island Ferry - a look at a cable ferry in operation 4K

Howe Island, Ontario - February 15th, 2026 This video - dedicated to the crews of the cable ferry serving the west end of Howe Island - captures one passage along the ice channel during a working day that lasts all 24 hours. The regular passage of the ferry - and some bubbler units around the docks ensure smooth transit - most of the time. They also keep a stretch of water clear for wildfowl and Swans.
