BC Transit has made an announcement regarding new physical distancing requirements for the Fraser valley:
Today, Monday March 30, 2020, BC Transit will be limiting the number of passengers on each bus. Under the direction of BC Transit Operations, transit operators will be monitoring passenger capacity to allow additional space in-between customers, and provide space for people to move within the bus. BC Transit Operations has identified the maximum number of passengers per bus and is working with our operators to implement distancing measures. While we believe pass-ups are unlikely due to the decrease in passengers utilizing transit and service levels, it is still a possibility and it is recommended that customers to leave plenty of time for their trip on transit.
BC Transit has also set up a page to provide ongoing updates to customers. View the webpage here.
If you have any transit enquires, please visit the BC Transit webpage or contact Transit Services at 604-795-3838
Due to the ongoing concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the threat to people and property within the Village’s jurisdiction, steps have been taken to close the municipality to visitors. In support of this, access to Esplanade Avenue has been closed in an effort to discourage people coming into our community at this time. We can only hope that the measures that the Village, along with other levels of government, takes now will reduce the length of this emergency.
The goal is to reduce the number of people using our public spaces because people are not practising social distancing in our public parks and spaces.
We wish everybody well during this difficult time and we regret the terrible impact that this global crisis is having on our important business community. We hope that it will be over soon and, in the meantime seek your assistance in encouraging people to stay away for now.
The Village of Harrison Hot Springs has taken steps to help minimize the risk of transmission of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and has closed its rental facilities to all user groups. Notices to the affected parties have been given and further updates will be released as necessary.
Effective March 16, 2020, the Village will not be accepting any requests for bookings at our Memorial Hall facility until further notice.
This measure is to help protect the health and safety of the public.
We thank you for your cooperation.
