School District 47 Outdoor & Ecological Learning Coordinator Ryan Barfoot has recently helped to establish a keystone document designed to support outdoor industry / practitioners in the times of Covid-19. As the Director at Large for the Outdoor Council of Canada, Barfoot has played an advisory role.

COVID-19 Principles and Practices for Led Outdoor Activity has been assembled by a collective of outdoor professionals representing organizations and associations connected to the Led Outdoor Activity (LOA) sector as well as health research experts (for more information, refer to the acknowledgements at the end of the document). It provides general principles for managing COVID-19 hazards in the context of delivering LOA in Canada. The regionally focused resource, Covid-19 Principals and Emerging Practices for BC Wilderness Expeditions is a sister document to this work and may be useful for Wilderness Based Programs.
