Excited to embark on a trip across the province?
While British Columbians haven't faced the same lockdown measures as their Canadian counterparts, many of them feel eager to leave their respective health authorities when the travel order is lifted on June 15. The order was implemented in April, but provincial officials have advised against travel outside of your community since 2020 when cases started to surge in Metro Vancouver.
As long as everything goes according to plan, travel aficionados will now have the opportunity to embark on road trips and flights across B.C. Several hotels and resorts are offering discounts and special offers to welcome locals back to their properties.
