We have enhanced safety measures based on the latest health information, and are continuously updating our policies and practices in accordance with the BC Health Minister’s recommendations. Here are some of the measures we are taking:

• Appointed a Health and Safety Joint Committee.
• Daily sanitation of all frequent touch areas including gates, handles, light switches, fence posts, tables, and countertops using cleaners approved by Health Canada.
• Alcohol-based hand sanitizer provided throughout all campus areas where hand washing is not accessible
• BCCDC approved cleaners available in all restrooms and public areas
• BCCDC hygiene protocols posted in all bathrooms, offering advice on hand washing and other ways to stay safe
• Decals and posters promoting physical distancing
• See through protective barriers at registration desk, store check-out, and in the dining room
• Plated meals instead of our regular buffet
• PPE education for all staff
• Each person coming to Hollyhock on our remote Cortes Island is navigating unique concerns. If folks are at high risk or are concerned that they may be sick, they are supported in staying home.

Hollyhock does not require vaccination status from our guests.  As of April 8, proof of vaccination is no longer required under public health order to access businesses, events and services in B.C.

If you have Hollyhock credit, you can use it towards any of our services within 2 years of the date of issue. This includes programs on campus, holidays, virtual program offerings, massages, meals, and in store purchases.

Yes, you can transfer your deposit to another person. We do require your permission to transfer your credit. Please call our front desk team at 1.800.933.6339 to arrange your transfer of credit.

Our delicious meals will continue to be served in the Lodge dining room and outdoor deck, as plated meals service rather than buffet style.  The tea, salad and breakfast bar are all self serve.

Cortes Island is among 30 small remote communities that have been included in Island Health’s whole community approach to COVID-19 vaccinations. This means that all Cortes Island residents have had the opportunity to be vaccinated. You may read more about this here.
