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.
Vaccine effectiveness against infection may decline over time – especially with the highly transmissible Omicron variant – but they remain the best way to prevent severe illness and death. Additional doses can boost immunity to improve protection and limit spread.
Who can book:
Anyone over the age of 12, six months after receiving your second dose.
Our recreation team works hard to create engaging activities that enrich the mind, body and spirit. We are continuously looking for ways to reduce the risk of transmission while having the least impact on resident well-being. At this time, visitors are not permitted to attend indoor recreations programming, including concerts. We appreciate your understanding.
Please note that communities with an exposure or on outbreak may have different recreation restrictions in effect. Contact your community or
