We have been closely following all new Nova Scotia government COVID-19 related regulation changes this week, and want to remind you that your safety is our #1 priority. We have begun a contact tracing list for all guests to the property and ask you to have a look over this set of questions before coming to the resort or restaurant. If you answer yes to any of them, we ask you to please stay home, and plan to come and see us at another time. Our staff will be going over the sa...me questionnaire with each guest upon arrival. Do you have any of the following symptoms: fever, cough, sore throat, headache or runny nose? Have you had close contact within the last 14 days with a confirmed case of COVID-19? Have you had close contact with the last 14 days with a person being tested for COVID-19? Have you been diagnosed with COVID-19 or are waiting to hear the results of a lab test for COVID-19? Have you returned from travel outside of Nova Scotia within the last 14 days? Have you visited the Central Zone of Nova Scotia within the last 14 days?
