Oregon visitor fined for violating Quarantine Act

staff report
November 12, 2020 3:26pm

West Vancouver police issued a fine to a man visiting from Oregon for violating the Quarantine Act.

On November 8, at 3 pm, a West Vancouver Police Traffic Services Officer stopped a vehicle bearing Oregon license plates.

The vehicle was stopped by the officer as it approached the Lions Gate Bridge.

The driver told the officer that he had entered Canada just a “couple weeks ago.”

The officer decided to confirm this with Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) who stated that the male driver had entered Canada on October 27.

This meant that the man was in violation of the Quarantine orders.

The officer then spoke with the Provincial Health Authority, who told the officer no exemption had been granted to the driver, and he was legally required to quarantine for two more days.

The driver was issued a violation ticket under the Quarantine Act for $1,150. He was also directed to return to his address of quarantine in Delta BC.

    The fine should have been much more. He got away too easy. There are a lot of US licence plates going up and down the sea to sky corridor and in Squamish, and I am wondering how they all got here. In my neighbourhood alone there are suddenly three US cars parked. I hope the man was a Canadian citizen. If was an American I would wonder why he was allowed to cross the border into Canada?
