On Saturday, November 7, the PHO announced new restrictions for the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health regions. The PHO is now strongly recommending against non-essential travel into or out of these regions until 12:00 noon on November 23 and as a result many of you are receiving inquiries and cancellations.
In response to these new restrictions Tourism Tofino immediately arranged to pause all advertising in these regions for the next 2 weeks. Additionally, we will utilize our social media to inform travellers about these restrictions.
