Ok, sounds like the regions are a bit different than here? Ie.If the same rule was in AB people in Edmonton and Calgary would be stuck i fairly urban areas. Still, if someone has a campground or cottage in another region that doesn't sound too risky, more of a concern of getting someone who is sick from an srea away from hospital.

BC has six health regions. Five are regional - Vancouver Island Health, Vancouver Coastal, Fraser Health, Interior Health and Northern Health. The sixth is Provincial Health which covers cancer care, children's hospitals and probably a couple other things. The travel restrictions are restricting us to travel within our own health authority essentially. Fraser Health and Vancouver Coastal are connected. That makes sense because a lot of people work in one region and live in the other. Interior and Northern are connected. That doesn't make sense to me.

Alberta, being a separate province, has a different system. AHS covers the entire province and has zones. I just know North Zone since that's the one in which I worked. I believe the north zone at least, was split into regions.

Health is provincially run so each province will have a slightly different system

Yes zones and subzones. The Calgary and Edmonton zones are all urban though. Ie. Edmonton includes some bedroom communities like St. Albert not really camping locations.

My subzone is just a strip of the city, no hospitals, none of my specialists are in this subzone.
 
I did half hour of weeding this morning before the cold and wind got to me....now that the sun is finally out and it's warming up it may be too windy for me to do anything...I really want to get things planted but we really are still too cold here.

Alberta is allowing camping as far as I know. Ontario restricted it. Last year the only restrictions BC put in was that camping had to be self-contained aka in an RV. That is reasonable, especially last year when they didn't know as much.

Yes, no restrictions for camping. I'm saying if we did whst BC did travel restriction wise for camping those in Edmonton and Calgary would be very limited for camping.

When I was booked at an AHS vaccine clinic it was outside of my health zone as sn example.
 
Back out for an hour in the sun and wind - almost have the path all widened - just have the outside path on the W side to do all the way back to the start of the labyrinth! Progress!!! Still have weeding to do and then...planting! :)

Camping will cost more, however. The current Alberta government are imposing fees to access the picnic areas and campgrounds that Peter Lougheed built for us in Kananaskis Country west of Calgary. Not sure if they are imposing the fees to restrict access to recreation areas in other parts of the province.

Haven't heard that they are...and then there is the whole controversy of them wanting to off-load a bunch of prov parks
 
Ontario will lift camping restrictions in Stage One, which they expect to achieve mid-June assuming current models and vaccination rates hold.
