All non-essential travel into, out of, and around BC remains restricted, with some exceptions:

We’re excited to be able to help Vancouver Island residents plan their trips around the health authority. As part of BC’s Restart Plan, recreational travel within your health region is allowed as of May 25, 2021. This means vacations, weekend getaways and tourism activities are good to go within your respective health region.

Travel restrictions for non-essential travel between health regions remain in place until at least June 15, 2021. Visit https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/covid-19/info/ restart for the full details of BC’s Restart Plan.

We encourage you to stay local and support local. If you can, explore attractions and activities close to home and within your regional zone, to help bring some much-needed revenue to local tourism operators.
