COVID-19 update
COVID-19 is no longer “a public health emergency of international concern” according to the World Health Organization, and life has largely returned to normal for most Canadians. However, COVID-19 remains a serious health threat, with the risk of infection and illness varying between and within communities.
Jurisdictions across Canada may still have measures in place that affect the trucking industry, and drivers are encouraged to consult local public health authorities to understand any requirements for the jurisdictions in which they travel. Here is a listing of Provincial and territorial resources for COVID-19.
Frequent handwashing, physical distancing and wearing a mask indoors continue to be important steps in combatting the disease and its variants.
As always, drivers are encouraged to consult the web pages for individual locations, then phone ahead to confirm that site amenities such as restaurants, showers and convenience stores are open at their desired locations.
We appreciate all that the trucking industry is doing to keep Canadian communities moving, and we thank you for your business.
Drive safely and stay safe.
