Travel Ban

RCMP roadblocks to enforce B.C. non-essential travel ban days before it is set to expire

Jun 11, 2021 | 2:28 PM

VICTORIA — All signs indicate B.C. will move to Stage 2 in its restart plan next week, meaning non-essential travel within the province will be allowed starting on Tuesday (June 15).

Nonetheless, B.C. RCMP say officers will be enforcing circuit breaker travel restrictions this weekend, requiring British Columbians to stay within their regions.

In a news release, RCMP say they will have road checks set up starting Friday afternoon (June 11) at three locations:

• Highway 1 in the Boston Bar area
• Highway 3 in the Manning Park area
• Highway 5 in the Old Toll Booth area

Those travelling for essential reasons will be allowed through, but are told to expect delays at those locations. People found travelling for non-essential reasons will be turned back.
