OTTAWA --
Many in the travel industry refer to the Friday before March Break 2020 as the day the industry changed.
It was Friday the 13th, and that’s the day the Government of Canada issued a travel advisory, advising against non-essential travel due to COVID-19.
Many Canadians were debating their March Break plans; some choosing to stay home, while others went ahead with their planned vacation.
Bo Kopcewicz was travelling with her son to Mexico last year on that day. CTV News Ottawa asked her at the Ottawa International Airport if she was concerned about her trip during COVID-19.
"We are a little bit, not enough to stay home," Kopcewicz said at the time.
