This morning the Government of BC updated their BC Restart Plan to confirm we can move into Step 2 starting June 15, 2021.

On May 25th the BC Restart Plan for Summer 2021 – Step 1 was revealed, re-opening restaurants and recreational travel within our own health regions. June 15, 2021 has been identified as the first possible date we would advance to Step 2, the criteria being: “at least 65% of the 18+ population vaccinated with dose 1, along with declining case counts and COVID-19 hospitalizations.”
