Should you need to travel, Air Canada is flying to destinations across Canada, the U.S., Europe and Asia. As we pull up to our carriage house at The Lodge on Harrison Lake, I receive a welcoming text message from our host with a door code for entry upon arrival. When we open the door, fresh air breezes through open windows and the faint scent of cleaning products lingers in the air. The contactless entry and the cleanliness of our cabin immediately ease my concerns about venturing away from Vancouver, and I affirm that this waterfront oasis perched in the trees will provide the perfect backdrop for our first family travel since the Covid–19 pandemic started.When our province relaxed travel restrictions, we opted for a much–needed escape closer to home, and this was the ideal spot to get back into holiday mode. Now that we’ve dipped our toes in, we’re eager to plunge back into family vacations once more – but we know that careful planning and prudent precautions are essential to doing so safely.
