==== Canada ==== Due to the numbers of large freshwater lakes and length of shoreline in Canada, various provinces and territories have ferry services. [[BC Ferries]] operates the third largest ferry service in the world which carries travellers between [[Vancouver Island]] and the [[British Columbia]] mainland on the country's west coast. This ferry service operates to other islands including the [[Gulf Islands]] and [[Haida Gwaii]]. In 2015, BC Ferries carried more than 8 million vehicles and 20 million passengers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bcferries.com/files/AboutBCF/AR/BCFS_AnnualReport_2015-2016.pdf|title=Annual Report 2015–2016 : British Columbia Ferry Service Inc. & B.

Canada's east coast has been home to numerous inter- and intra-provincial ferry and coastal services, including a large network operated by the federal government under [[CN Marine]] and later [[Marine Atlantic]]. Private and publicly owned ferry operations in eastern Canada include Marine Atlantic, serving the island of [[Newfoundland (island)|Newfoundland]], as well as [[Bay Ferries]], [[Northumberland Ferries]], [[Coopérative de transport maritime et aérien|CTMA]], [[Coastal Transport]], and [[Société des traversiers du Québec|STQ]]. Canadian waters in the [[Great Lakes]] once hosted numerous ferry services, but these have been reduced to those offered by [[Owen Sound Transportation Company]] and several smaller operations. There are also several commuter passenger ferry services operated in major cities, such as [[Metro Transit (Halifax)|Metro Transit]] in [[Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia|Halifax]], and [[Toronto Island ferries]] in Toronto. There is also the [[Société des traversiers du Québec]].
