OSTC

Ontario Northland and Owen Sound Transportation Company are coming together

November 13, 2026

Notice: OSTC services continue as planned

Owen Sound Transportation Company (OSTC) is becoming a subsidiary of Ontario Northland. This is an organizational change and does not affect how passengers currently access OSTC ferry and winter air services.

The immediate priority for both organizations is keeping services safe, reliable and familiar for the communities that depend on them.

 

What stays the same?

Existing OSTC routes, published schedules, fares, booking processes and customer-service arrangements continue as planned. Passengers do not need to rebook or take any action because of the transfer.

The local OSTC teams and their knowledge of the routes and communities they serve remain central to service delivery. There are no new routes or combined ticketing arrangements being introduced as part of this change.

 

What should passengers do?

Continue to book and check service information through the usual OSTC channels. As always, seasonal schedules and weather-related or other operational advisories may change independently of this organizational transfer. For transition questions, contact [email protected].
