UBC Vancouver – Remote Working During The Current Gas Restriction

As you know, the BC Provincial Government has introduced a restriction on fuel, as a result of the impact of the recent floods. Unless operating an essential vehicle, residents are limited to purchasing 30 litres of fuel per trip to the gas station in these areas:

  • Lower Mainland (Vancouver to Hope)
  • Sea to Sky (Squamish to Pemberton)
  • Sunshine Coast Gulf Islands Vancouver Island

The restriction is currently in place until November 30 at midnight.

In light of this restriction, and recognizing the impact of the recent floods and landslides within the province, we are encouraging managers and supervisors to be flexible in allowing remote work, where operational requirements permit. We also recommend that this approach is maintained for the duration of the fuel restriction, in order to support our community and help ease any pressure on fuel supplies within the Lower Mainland.

If you have further questions, please contact your HR Advisor. Thank you for your support in helping ease the pressure at this time.
