While there won’t be fireworks or large gatherings this New Year’s Eve, you can still celebrate with those in your household as we stay local to bid adieu to 2020 and welcome in 2021!
Dine-in
Heading out for dinner on NYE with those in your household is still an option this year in BC and is a great way to support local restaurants.
