Some received this email on June 3, 2020. This is a friendly reminder:
Please see email below and the attached jpeg from the Village of Alert Bay:

The Village of Alert Bay has been receiving calls about visitors coming to Cormorant Island. We understand this is a difficult time for businesses in the tourism sector. We understand that you seek to operate and are looking for assurances that travel is not being restricted in any way. It is not, BC Ferries will be bringing the new ferry online in June.
The three local authorities, the Village of Alert Bay, the ‘Namgis First Nation and Whe-la-la-u Area Council, have drafted the attached notice to provide expectation to the public and potential visitors of the realities of services on Cormorant Island. This is being done to emphasize that the community at large is working to ensure the safety of the residents and visitors alike. We feel that the appropriate disclosure in advance of a visit is paramount. All BC communities are experiencing the same restrictions related to shopping and services that result in lineups outside of stores and possibility limited store hours. We would encourage you to be forthcoming on your business’s specific safety protocols in advance of your guest’s arrival to set expectations and provide peace of mind on safety concerns.

Wishing you a great day.

I know many of you have been receiving completed paper version through your offices, which has been great, but we would like to see one last push of the online version to see if we can’t get a few more responses. I am attaching an updated questionnaire promo that indicates June 28th as the closing date. Can you please do your best to share this through your internal and external networks. Mailing lists, social media, share with other community partners to post, distribute to local board and council members to also share.
