Yesterday the Premier announced that British Columbia will be requiring proof of vaccination to enter many non-essential businesses and other settings. This program will commence September 13th and at that time will allow individuals with at least one dose to enter certain businesses but as of October 24th only fully vaccinated (received their 2nd shot at least one week prior) individuals will be permitted. We are still awaiting full information on this new program but it is our understanding this will not impact the retail/golf side of the industry but certainly restaurant and banquet patrons will need to show proof of vaccination. Please see this press release for information and expect to see more details in early September.
