Ejector,

Thanks, I should have mentioned that - Coal Harbour is in downtown Vancouver, not at YVR, the international airport.

Over 50,000 movements a year, the 8th busiest airport in Canada! Also, the tallest ATC tower in the world at 466', on top of an office building.

I see West Coast Air also does the Vancouver-Victoria route using Twin Otters.

PS The main reason not to fly in the S76 (apart from the fact that it is not a floatplane) is that it has to fly very high, because of the noise. The floatplanes, on the other hand, fly quite low and you get a spectacular view of the Gulf Islands
