If it is, local law enforcement is ready, they say.
Beginning Friday, May 21, there will be an increased law enforcement presence on land and water.
As with previous long weekends during the pandemic, Sea to Sky RCMP are partnering with other agencies and have created a strategy for this weekend.
"We have been working with the BC Traffic Services, Department of Fisheries, BC Conservation Services, Natural Resource Officers, BC Parks Rangers, Forestry, District of Squamish Bylaw, Resort Municipality of Whistler Bylaw, West Coast Marine Section and the Integrated First Nations Unit to create a collaborative approach for highway, backcountry, water and trail system presence," said Sgt. Sascha Banks in a news release.
"Our seasonal plans focus on lawful enjoyment, safety, and enforcement of orders such as the current Public Health Orders. We resonate our local governments' message in the Sea to Sky that this is the time to stay local; if you do not live here, enjoy the Sea to Sky later, and do not travel unless for essential reasons."
Drivers should expect increased traffic enforcement along the Sea to Sky Highway, more officer presence in Rec Sites, on Crown land, and provincial parks, the release states.
