Important reminders
The details in the PHO have changed since the news of the BC Vaccine Card was first released.
Municipalities, including ours, continue working hard to interpret the orders and implement any changes, but we ask for patience as we fully implement new procedures at our facilities.
We will continue directly communicating with our organized sport groups and facility user groups so they can be fully prepared for what the latest updates mean for their specific activities.
