PROVINCIAL COVID-19 RESOURCES
During these pressing times, it is likely that your daily newsfeed is filling up every morning with updates on COVID-19. We know, it can be overwhelming, and results in not knowing where to look for your information To assist you in filtering through the barrage of information we have compiled resources for our residents.
Canada
Messages from the Government of Canada should be your initial go-to for information. The Public Health Agency of Canada page is the best resource for everything from updates to travel advice to preventive measures. This site also includes a virtual assistant to help with finding information if you're a little lost on where to look.
There are plenty of resources through the Government of Canada website - we've linked Canada's response resources here - we've made it easier for you by linking specific resources below.
- Government of Canada, Registration of Canadians Abroad
- Government of Canada, Travel Advice
