COVID-19 Screening

  • A questionnaire will be sent to all guests prior to your tour, screening for any COVID-19 symptoms and asking for you to disclose if you have travelled outside of Canada in the past 14 days, whether you have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 14 days, and whether you are pending COVID-19 test results.

Face Masks and Social Distancing

  • Tour and workshop leaders will be wearing a face mask. Tour participants over the age of 6 are also required to wear a face mask or covering at all times when physical distancing of at least 2 meters (6.6 feet) is not maintained.

Equipment sanitization

  • Any loaned optics (such as binoculars on birding tours) will be thoroughly sanitized between tours.

Transportation

  • All tour and workshop participants must have access to means of transportation (public or private) to get to tour and workshop locations (no transportation service is provided at this time).

Covid-19 cancellation policy

  • Cancellations due to an issue with any of the COVID-19 screening questions will be offered to reschedule or receive a full refund.
