Covid-19 has us evaluating, and reevaluating our operations every week as changes to restrictions are anounced.  With that being said, we are preparing for full operations for the upcoming season.

With new information coming out regularily, we are staying up to date with the guidelines set forth by the different levels of government.  

The Federal Government has announced that cross border travel will be allowed for fully vaccinated US residents starting in August 2021, followed by international travellers a month later.  Stay up to date with the the restrictions here.

The Province of Manitoba has restricted travel into the province to fully vaccinated (two doses) individuals, or individuals that are not fully vaccinated provided they self-isolate (quarantine) for 14 days upon arrival in Manitoba.  Information on Provincial restrictions can be found here.

With these changes, we are now able to deliver our services to our Canadian, U.S. and international guests.  We will not be extending the option to forward booking to 2022-2023 unless the request is received more than 30 days prior to the scheduled start date, or future restrictions prevent us from delivering our services.  Deposits will not be refunded unless requested 90 days or more from the original start date.

The province of Manitoba has set up a colour coded pandemic response system, stay up to date with the current restrictions here.  This system affects our operations, as such any guests that have tested positive for Covid-19, or unvaccinated guests that have been exposed to someone who has tested positive within the previous two weeks, or is exhibiting any symptoms related to cover-19 (headache, fever, cough, etc) will not be allowed to participate in either a SnoBear Rental, or a SnoBear Excursion.  To participate in a SnoBear Excursion, all guests 12 years of age and older are required to provide proof of vaccination.

If your trip falls during  a green – limited risk level we will be operating as per normal operations.

During a yellow – caution level, we may require masks be worn while inside the Snobear.

During an orange – Restricted level guided trips may be suspended (guests will be allowed to take the Snobear out as a rental instead, mask may be required.

In the event that the level is raised to Red – Critical level, all operations may cease, and customers will be allowed to forward their deposits to future dates (2022-2023 season) even within 30 days of scheduled start date.
