governance · March 2020 · Islands Trust Area

The Islands Trust urges visitors to avoid traveling to Gulf and Howe Sound Islands to reduce COVID-19 spread and pressure on limited island services. Islanders are encouraged to practice social distancing and stay home. Many island businesses are understocked or closed, and BC Ferries has reduced sailings.
