COVID-19 Update - December 22, 2020

Through the summer, many employers requested temporary four month variances to the COVID-19 Emergency Layoff period. Many of these variances will expire at the end of December. If your business wishes to seek a further renewal to a later date or explore your options, you must follow the online process before your variance expires. Renewals are considered on a case-by-case basis.

On December 9, the Tourism Task Force—assembled as part of the province's StrongerBC Economic Recovery Plan—presented its final report, The Future of Travel: Positioning B.C. to Accelerate Recovery and Growth, to the Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture, and Sport. Tourism Kelowna helps to break down and provide some insights on the report.
