“This year is unique for all of us, and COVID-19 has required that we connect and show we care in new and different ways,” said Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.
“We have had to change our special celebrations and gatherings to keep the people we care about safe. This same approach is how we need to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. Rather than travelling to see friends or hosting a large family dinner, make it small this year and plan to connect virtually instead.”
The provincial state of emergency has also been extended till October 13.
