TOURISM industry covid-19 safety plans

 

In accordance with the COVID-19 Safety Plan Order of BC’s Provincial Health Officer, introduced in the spring, every business must have a COVID-19 Safety Plan that outlines the policies, guidelines and procedures that it has implemented to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. As well as being posted publicly at the workplace, this plan must be posted on the business’ consumer-facing website, so that it is readily available for review by members of the public.

Tourism businesses must continue to implement these health and safety protocols and update them as necessary, to keep their patrons and staff safe.
