BC’s Provincial Health Officer promulgated
an order under the Public Health Act entitled
“Mass Gatherings re: COVID-19”. The
order provides that every municipality and
regional district is prohibited from permitting
the gathering of people in excess of 50
people at a place of which the local government
is the owner, occupier or operator,
or for which it is otherwise responsible. The
Order expires on May 30, 2020 and is subject
to revision, cancellation or extension
by the Provincial Health Officer.
The order applies to community centres,
recreation facilities, meeting facilities, theatres,
and other places owned, occupied or
operated by the local governments, including
concessions or licenced areas. It also
applies to any events held or occasioned
by local governments, such as parades,
festivals, concerts or demonstrations.
For the benefit of all, many organizations and businesses have cancelled or postponed their events. Thank you for your understanding.
We can all work together to stay healthy by staying a little bit apart, for now. Together we can flatten the curve.
