Islands Trust Advises Visitors to Stay Home During COVID-19

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.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
