A Shuswap houseboat company has pulled down a controversial social media post welcoming houseboaters from other provinces. The post, which read, “all houseboaters welcome — even ones from other provinces,” raised questions because it appeared to contradict advice from health officials.
Leaders in both B.C. and Alberta have been urging people to vacation close to home during the novel coronavirus pandemic. The post went on to reference B.C.’s restrictions on out-of-province campers at provincial parks, stating: “Shuswap Lake is not a provincial campground.
Public access beaches still available for houseboats.” B.C. is currently telling out-of-province residents not to book campsites at provincial parks in the province.
