New Information added November 18th
Promising news on the way!
Several sources are reporting some pretty amazing news for our Canadian families!
While there is still some progress to make, these announcements are most certainly a step in the right direction!
All indicators are pointing to waiving the requirement for a negative COVID test for traveling outside of Canada for less than 72 hours!

Again, we can’t stress this enough – it is the responsibility of the traveler to know what is required – KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!

Stay safe and we will see all of you in the Spring!
