This pandemic has definitely impacted millions of people all around the world... It has changed the way we see things and how we do things and how we interact with one another. In some ways it has created unique opportunities such as local travel. During a recent visit to the beautiful British Columbia, it was a refreshing sight to see fellow Canadians exploring their own "backyard" without numerous tourists and lineups.
To see the view of Howe Sound from the Sea to Sky gondola in Squamish was breathtaking and a reminder that we are so lucky to have such great beauty in a country as great as ours. I encourage everyone who is able to travel even if it's in your own province, to take advantage of everything Canada has to offer us! Let's support local tourism and local businesses during this difficult time!
