The new tax, known as the “Tax on Unproductive Use of Canadian Housing by Foreign Non-resident Owners,” is being proposed as part of the federal government’s new budget, which was released last week.

In a Friday press conference, health minister Adrian Dix said the Ministry of Tourism is expected to release an action plan for ski resorts next week. Dix said the actions would target the source of transmissions and also noted that transmission at ski hills is related to social settings, not skiing. “It’s not skiing on the mountain that’s been the principal source of transmission,” he said. Dix added that authorities have recently carried out a number of inspections aimed at reducing transmission in Whistler.
