First and foremost, I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy 2022. I realize we are faced with new challenges with the arrival of Omicron. One of the best gifts you can give yourself and others is to get your COVID-19 vaccination and booster shot, to protect yourself and those you love. Please visit https://covid-19.ontario.ca/ book-vaccine/ or call your local pharmacy. New Year’s Levee Part of getting through all of this is to be there for each other.

Unfortunately, part of protecting yourself means making informed decisions about travel. International travel for non-essential reasons is to be avoided for the foreseeable future. As the Omicron situation develops internationally with incredible speed, travelling could mean you get stranded abroad and /or bring new cases of Omicron back home with you. If you still decide on travelling out of the country, stay up to date on all the requirements and make sure you download the arriveCAN app. All travellers, with limited exceptions, whether entering Canada by air, land, rail or marine vessel, must use ArriveCAN. You’ll need to submit your information within 72 hours before your arrival to Canada. If you don’t, you may run into problems re-entering the country and won’t be eligible for the fully vaccinated traveller exemption and face other delays or fines.
