Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, SEAPARC has followed the guidelines and orders set out by the Provincial Health Office and other governing bodies including WorkSafeBC, Island Health, British Columbia Recreation and Parks Association (BCRPA), and the Lifesaving Society.

According to the PHO we must ensure those utilizing select facilities/programs have received at least the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and that as of October 24th, 2021 have received the second dose at least 7 days prior.

Please continue to follow the health guidelines of practicing careful social contact.
