The education blitz, which includes a website, digital ads and direct contact with resort employees and season’s pass holders, was announced Friday by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport, which said it worked with the Canada West Ski Areas Association, WorkSafe B.C. and municipal governments from six resort towns. However, no government funding is being dedicated to the information campaign, with the ski industry association and individual resorts responsible for getting the message out. The Opposition Liberal tourism critic, Teresa Wat, said public-health messaging clearly isn’t getting to the small number of rule-breakers which is why stepped-up enforcement might be the only way to get through to them.
