As you likely know, many restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic have recently been eased. Below is a summary of recent changes to restrictions, access to rapid tests, and vaccinations to help keep you and your colleagues safe and productive:

No more pre-entry testing for fully vaccinated travellers coming into Canada. Beginning April 1, 2022, fully vaccinated travellers entering Canada by land, sea or air will no longer need to show proof of a recent antigen or PCR test.

Beginning March 15th, rapid antigen tests are available for people over 40 through pharmacies in BC. Eligible individuals can pick up one kit of 5 tests every 28 days from participating pharmacies at no cost.

Wearing masks in indoor settings is no longer required by public health. Individual businesses and event organizers can choose to continue requiring masks on their premises. When K-12 schools return from spring break, masks will no longer be required for students, staff and visitors.

Winston Churchill once said, “a crisis is a terrible thing to waste.” When everything falls apart, it can be a chance to take stock and remodel your company.

In this webinar, we will walk you through a simple tool designed to identify areas of your business to cut and where to invest your time right now.

You will leave this webinar clear on what you can do right now and be energized to get it done! You will also receive a free eBook called “8 Ways to Reinvent Yourself in a Crisis just for attending.
