Ontario has mandated PCR testing for all international passengers arriving at Toronto International Airport (YYZ) from February 1st today in light of the increasing number of people infected with the mutant virus. Inspections are required twice, once after landing and 10 days later, with a fine of $ 750 for refusal. This is a precursor to the upcoming reinforcement of border measures introduced by the Federal Government of Canada.
Here are some of the upcoming border enhancements in Canada:
PCR testing of arriving passengers is mandatory at Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto airports designated as international destinations.
Passengers arriving on international flights must book in advance a hotel designated by the Government of Canada (a hotel directly connected to the airport?). Voluntarily quarantined at the hotel for about 3 days until the PCR test results are available. All costs for inspections, accommodation, meals, etc. are expected to be about $ 2,000 per person. More details such as the period will be announced soon.
If the PCR test you received at the airport on arrival is positive, you will either stay in a government-designated quarantine or be transferred to a medical institution. Even if it is negative, it requires 14 days of self-quarantine at home. The government will strengthen the surveillance system. Violations of the quarantine order will result in six months in prison, a fine of $ 75,000, or both.
If you enter Canada by land from the United States, you will soon need a negative PCR test certificate. However, commercial truck drivers who frequently travel between the United States and Canada are excluded.

In the last two days, four people skating on Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park have broken ice and fell into the lake.

Three were self-rescue and one was rescued by a rescue ranger.

According to the Banff National Park Administration Office, ice skating on natural lakes should carefully check the ice thickness of the lake and take into account that the ice thickness can change significantly over a short period of time. Must be.

Having self-rescue tools (life jackets, ropes, ice axes) can be very helpful if you don't know the thickness of the ice.

A minimum thickness of 15 cm is required for ice skating.

A cougar warning was issued throughout the town of Banff.

A cougar is a large carnivorous beast, also known as a mountain lion. There are many cases where people were attacked and died.

On January 9th, a person walking a dog in Banff discovered a cougar. Moreover, it is said that the cougar acted intimidatingly to humans. This would have been scary ~

In addition, Parks Canada's Wildlife Conservation Officer found and removed the cougar's hidden prey in the yard of a residential area just two blocks from downtown.

Many years ago, there was an incident where a cougar was storing prey under the veranda of a residential area on the outskirts of Banff, but it's surprising that it's two blocks from downtown.

Even now, reports of encounters with cougars continue, and cougar warnings are currently being issued in the town of Banff. The contents are as follows.

Travel in groups and keep everyone together.
Pay particular attention to trips at dawn and dusk, when wildlife is most active.
If you are cycling or jogging, move slowly and do not wear earphones.
Make a noise to warn cougars and other potentially dangerous wildlife of your presence.
Take your bare spray in a location that is easily accessible.
Always connect your dog to the leash and let the dog walk during the day.
If you see or smell dead animals, leave the area.
If you encounter a cougar, slowly retreat. Never run or pretend to be dead.
Hold your arm or object over your head to make it look bigger.
Let's pick up the little child right away.
If you show the pretense that the cougar will attack. Scream, swing sticks, and throw rocks to thwart attacks.
Please report your sightings here (403-762-1470) immediately.

If you come across a cougar, it's better to take measures against cougar than social distance!
