March 24 update

Hello all planters and management,


The planned delay has brought a necessary sense of calm. It allowed us to focus on the necessary changes in preparation for when we are allowed to go to work. There is are numerous people on this today. I am happy we announced this delay. 


News continues to come out about potential shut-downs of provincial borders.  It is very promising that the federal and provincial governments seem to be working hard to minimize the financial impact of all of this for all of us so that we can afford to do the right thing and STAY HOME.
We are still waiting for the industrial camp standards in BC to be released which will be a huge help in us finalizing what the health departments feel we need to do to keep all of you safe in camp.


In the meantime, we are continuing to talk with planters and crew-bosses about how we are all going to need to have a great season with the added social pressure of staying in the camp for the entire season.


We have not yet been updated on provincial camp standards or provincial COVID-19 Ministery guidelines. We continue to develop our internal systems. 


The following is a list of the topics we are working on today. 

1. Transportation protocol. 
2. Isolation protocol. 
3. COVID-19 Test availability questions researched. 
4. Camp standard step-changes. 
5. In camp isolation protocol. 
6. Total Physio Medical integration Into COVID-19 plan
7. Exploring the sharing of contacts as an industry to reduce camp moves. 
8. Review of season flow with a two week delay.

There are lots of great ideas and invite input and conversation. Always feel free to call. 


Thank you for your commitment to the season and we will continue updating daily. 


Tim, Jason, and Mat
