iN VIDEO: Dream and plan your next B.C. vacation… later

You're probably thinking of your next vacation while waiting is self-isolation and Destination B.C. wants to remind you what's available right outside your day — once pandemic restrictions are lifted.

They're urging you to 'dream now and explore British Columbia later' with a new social media initiative.

The content provides viewers with an opportunity to check out videos of provincial sights and attractions in order to help them plan their next vacation in the province.

“While we are all passionate about exploring B.C., now is not the time to travel, and we know that too many Canadians are continuing to travel and gather for leisure purposes,” Destination British Columbia communications specialist Kristen Learned said in an email. “Our tourism industry partners from across the province are also sharing the sentiment, and we are all working together to amplify our collective voice."

The #exploreBClater content is featured across the Destination B.C. channels, for both consumer and industry audiences.

Check out these these #exploreBClater offerings on the Destination B.C. Twitter page.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
