We will comply with the British Columbia Provincial Health Orders (PHO) issued by our Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry. As the Provincial Health Order regarding meetings and events is currently in a state of fluctuation, I have outlined the current restrictions that are in place and any policies that need to be followed. Please note that the British Columbia Provincial Health Orders are subject to change without notice. Any revisions or amended British Columbia Provincial Health Orders must be complied with immediately from the date the order is signed and published. If there are any changes that may impact your event, we will communicate these to you as soon as possible.

As defined under the Events & Gatherings Order, the ‘Organizer’ is responsible for checking for proof of vaccination of all participants. The venue must ensure the organizer has the capacity to fulfill this requirement.  

PACK YOUR MASK:
Wearing face coverings in public spaces, according to medical experts, is one of the easiest and most effective steps we can take to protect one another and manage the spread of COVID-19. As per the Provincial Health Order all guests will be required to wear face masks at all time in restaurants and in the meeting spaces except when actively eating or drinking.
