Dear Community Member,

Today, the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General announced new travel restrictions. 

These restrictions are about keeping people safe and healthy. As we continue to roll out our vaccination program, limiting non-essential travel will help us to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the province.

Most British Columbians have been working hard to stop the spread of COVID-19 by following public health advice to stay in their communities and avoiding non-essential travel. 

But we need to do more to discourage travel.

This order will limit travel into and out of three regional zones in the province:

  1. Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley
  2. Vancouver Island
  3. Northern and Interior (this includes Hope and the Bella Coola Valley and Central Coast)

The order is designed to discourage and stop recreational and leisure travel – not punish people. The order does not restrict essential travel between regional zones – including for work, for school and to help care for a sick loved one.

As Dr. Henry says, staying in our local communities means we are not going to and from COVID hotspots and inadvertently bringing the virus along with us.

I encourage everyone to visit www.gov.bc.ca/covidtravel to see the full details of the travel restrictions.

My office is available to help answer your questions by phone at 604-983-9859, or by email.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep BC safe.

Sincerely,   

Susie Chant

COVID-19 Survey

If you haven't done it already, please fill out the latest BC COVID-19 Survey. Last year, almost 400,000 British Columbians participated.The information was a chance to tell us how the pandemic has impacted you, so we could find out what supports were needed.T

This year, we are doing round 2, and we are wanting to find out COVID has impacted people in 4 key areas: 
  1. Your life during the pandemic: How your behaviours and experiences have changed over the course of the pandemic.
  2. Vaccines: What barriers exist to accessing vaccines Innovation and adaptation
  3. How have things changed around you and how have these changes impacted you?
  4. What supports are needed to help you through our recovery from the pandemic?
The survey is only open for a short time. It is open to residents 18 years and older, and available in a number of languages. Please have your voice heard.
