        On Monday, March 1, the B.C. government updated its vaccination timeline and said that every adult who wants a shot will be able to get one by the end of August.

        Given that, how do you feel about making summer plans?

        For a year, we’ve seen events cancelled, overseas travel all but come to a standstill, and a closed border with the United States for all but essential travel.

        Would you plan for a vacation – whether in Canada or abroad, whether a camping trip or a cruise – given the vaccination timeline right now?
