Stantec and Pomerleau to provide design-build services for replacement ferry terminal

06/26/2025 VICTORIA, BC TSX, NYSE:STN

Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, and , a Canadian leader in the construction industry, have been selected by the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Transit to provide design-build services for the Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Project Phase II. The design-build delivery of this replacement ferry terminal in Victoria, British Columbia, includes major new marine works to replace the old wharf as well as a new passenger building and adjacent civil works.

The terminal serves two international cross-border ferry routes: the FRS Clipper Navigation Inc. (Clipper) which is a foot-passenger-only service between Seattle and Victoria; and the Black Ball Ferry Line (Black Ball) providing foot-passenger and vehicle service between Port Angeles and Victoria.

Enhancing travel and security through new redevelopment
Phase I involved the conversion of the steamship building and wharf into a temporary terminal, as well as renovations to the Black Ball building, permitting the continued operations of ferry and border agencies during Phase II.

Stantec will serve as the lead designer for Phase II of the project as part of the design-build team with Pomerleau. This phase will demolish the existing Clipper Terminal infrastructure and construct a new consolidated preclearance terminal building with modern border security standards that abide by the Land, Rail, Marine, and Air Transport Preclearance Agreement between the Government of Canada and the US. The new terminal will be located within Victoria¡¯s Inner Harbour, on the existing site of the Belleville Terminal. It will include new passenger waiting areas, a commercial goods processing facility and commercial retail space.

Stantec will be providing architectural, MEP, structural, civil, landscape, marine, environmental, climate resiliency, sustainability, and geotechnical services.
