Craving a road trip? Here's where can you travel within Canada
On July 3, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and P.E.I. will ease inter-provincial travel restrictions within the region, creating a so-called "Atlantic bubble."Atlantic Canadians will be allowed to travel within the region without having to self-isolate when arriving in another province.Visitors from provinces and territories outside the region will still be required to self-isolate for two weeks and adhere to local entry requirements.
Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil said border monitoring would involve asking people for identification in order to verify which province the traveller is from. Private campgrounds have reopened, but only at 50 per cent capacity and they must ensure public health protocols are followed, including adequate distancing between campsites. Cottagers can visit their vacation homes.As part of the travel bubble, all Atlantic visitors to P.E.I. will have to fill out a self-declaration form online and provide a copy to border officers before entering the province. They'll also be subject to public health and proof-of-residency screenings.
Quebecers are allowed to vacation in other parts of the province, but they're asked to follow safety precautions. The exception applies to British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and the region of Ontario west of Terrace Bay. The province lifted a ban on non-essential travel in the northwest on June 7, but then reversed course to restrict travel to certain high-risk communities in the region.
There are no border closures or checkpoints. However, officials are advising against non-essential travel in or out of the province until the next phase of Alberta's reopening strategy.British Columbia relaxed restrictions on travel within the province this week as data suggests that COVID-19 cases have tapered off.
