With international travel looking like a no-go this summer, most Canadians will be more inclined to travel domestically. Non-essential inter-provincial travel is currently discouraged, so this is the time to take advantage of the experiences available in your province. National Parks will not open for camping until June 21st. Here is where we stand as of today and a few ideas to make the most of your Canadian summer vacation:

British Columbia

Summer Vacation: Tofino

  • Camping in provincial parks is open as of June 1st (by reservation only).
  • RV sites will also be open but contact your preferred park directly.
  • You can start booking hotels and summer vacation rentals although be prepared to cancel and of course, practice social distancing.
  • By mid-June, Premier Horgan is inviting BC residents to head to their favourite provincial destinations including: Okanagan Valley, Tofino, Vancouver Island.
