Are you looking for activities to do at home but also want to support local and / or small businesses?
In many parts of Canada, provinces have started reopening plans and people are adjusting to the “new normal”. We put together some activities that you can do at home and will support our members. We also added some travel suggestions for British Columbia that you can explore for later travels.
Read a book by Bernadette Calonego
Do you need a new book for your time at home or while tanning at the beach? We got you covered!
Our member Bernadette Calonego published her new book “Eisiger Kerker”. You can buy the German version as paper back or e-book on Amazon.
Check out her other books and murder mysteries (in German and English) that are mostly set in Canada. Visit her website here.
Do a chocolate tasting with Schoccolatta
Sweeten up your day with traditional Swiss made vegan chocolate. Schoccolatta offers different dark chocolates (e.g. Almond Orange, Ecuador Dar, Orange Ginger) as well as a nutmilk chocolate. Why only try one of them if you could do a little chocolate tasting at home?

Plan today, explore later
Anticipation is the greatest joy! While British Columbia is easing Covid-19 restrictions, it’s not the time to travel outside your community yet. However, if you are a BC resident you can start planning your BC holidays for summer and fall. If you are from outside the province, we invite you to dream now and explore BC later.
Why not considering staying in one of the lodges of our members and partners.
