Provincial travel restrictions lifted as B.C moves into Step 2 Tuesday

Step 2 of B.C’s restart plan begins tomorrow

That means you will be able to travel outside of your regional zone to visit family and friends. 

Other activities and events allowed under Stage 2 include:

  • Outdoor personal gatherings of up to 50 people will be allowed
  • Indoor seated organized gatherings up to 50 people will also make a return this week.
  • Indoor faith gatherings – a maximum of 50 people, or 10% of a place of worship’s total capacity, whichever number is greater – with safety plans;
  • A maximum of 50 spectators for outdoor sports;
  • Liquor service at restaurants, bars and pubs extended until midnight; and
  • Indoor sports games (no spectators) and high-intensity fitness with safety plans.

The province says over 75% of adults have received at least one dose of the vaccine so far, which is good news because it plans to move onto Step 3 on Canada Day.

Once we move into Step 3, some of the things to look forward to include a return to normal for indoor and outdoor personal gatherings, Canada-wide recreational travel, and no group limit for indoor and outdoor dining.
