COVID-19 Update While some provinces are expediting plans to lift public restrictions, BC continues to take a conservative approach to reopen the province.   Last week, capacity restrictions were lifted for all personal gatherings, events, fitness centres, and sports activities. However, the masking mandate and proof of vaccination remain in effect.   Rules relating to long-term care visitors also remain in effect, including continuous masking for staff and visitors. The easing of these restrictions will be addressed at a later date as the province monitors health and hospitalization trends. Visitor Guidelines   New Visitor Guidelines during an Outbreak   As communicated previously, the Public Health Officer has revised their visit guidelines for when a community is on an outbreak. Coming for a visit? Please familiarize yourself with these guidelines. Download the Visitor Guide (PDF)  Get Boosted!

How to book: Register with the Get Vaccinated system. Visit Get Vaccinated to book your booster dose.
