With provincial borders reopening, provinces rolling out different reopening plans, and summer vacation approaching, many people will be wondering where they're allowed to travel and what restrictions they'll face when they get to their destination. Here's a look at what neighbouring provinces require, and what Manitoba requires when you return home.

Ontario

Many Manitobans flock to their Ontario cottages in the summer, with 2021 being no different. The border to Ontario is open with no restrictions for Manitoba travellers to the province. Isolating when entering the province is not required for Manitobans. Those visiting must follow the province's Public Health Orders. Restrictions are tighter in Ontario than in Manitoba.

Short-term rentals, such as cabins, and hotels and other lodging spaces are open. Indoor recreational facilities at these locations, including fitness centres, are closed.  Overnight camping and visiting outdoor pools are permitted.

Restaurants are limited to four people or fewer from different households at one outdoor table.

Outdoor gatherings can occur with 10 or fewer people, including fitness activities. End-of-school-year celebration ceremonies held by a school or private school are exempt.

Outdoor attractions such as zoos and historical sights are limited to 15 per cent capacity. There are no fairs or exhibitions allowed. Boat tours and motor vehicle tours are not allowed. Marinas and boating clubs are open for use with indoor amenities closed. Drive-in and drive-thru events are allowed.

Personal care services, such as nail salons, are closed.

Religious services and other similar events such as wedding ceremonies have a 15 per cent indoor capacity limit. Outdoors, 2-meter distancing within the space's capacity limit is required.

Stores are limited to 25 per cent capacity, and non-essential retail is limited to 15 per cent. Mall retail stores without a street-facing entrance are closed.

These are set to change on June 30.

Saskatchewan

There are no self-isolation requirements for Manitobans to enter this province.

Saskatchewan has loosened many of its restrictions after vaccination rates reached 70 per cent.  Businesses are fully open.

Outdoor gatherings and indoor public gatherings are limited to 150 people or fewer. Some entertainment spaces, such as theatres and casinos are limited to 150 people or fewer.

These will change on July 11, when all health orders are lifted, including gathering size limits and mask mandates.

These restrictions will be lifted on July 1, with some exceptions that have not yet been named.

Returning to Manitoba

Travellers coming back into the province from Canada are required to self-isolate for 14 days. Isolation is not required if travelling for essential purposes, such as a second property's emergency repairs or for work.

Those who have gone at least two weeks after receiving two COVID-19 vaccines do not need to self-isolate. Children under the age of 12 will follow the same isolation requirements as their parents.
