FWA’s COVID Risk Mitigation Plan & Policy

Here at FWA we take the responsibility of the safety of our guests and staff very seriously. To keep everyone as safe as possible we are implementing some changes to our policies and company procedures. We will be following all the BC Health Authority and WSBC regulations regarding COVID 19 safety to mitigate the risk. These procedures will be updated as needed.
