Travelling in Richmond, BC

For British Columbians, travel is restricted to essential travel only. British Columbians are asked to stay within their regional zone, support local businesses, and not travel outside of their community. All non-essential travel to BC must be avoided until further notice.

When it is safe to resume travel, we encourage you to take some time to plan ahead so that you make the most of your visit.
