A message on safe winter travel from Global Affairs Canada

Dear ACTA Members,

The Consular Communications Team at Global Affairs Canada is proud to provide Canadians with useful tools and information to help them travel safely when going abroad. Before travelling internationally, Canadians are encouraged to download our Travel Smart App, and consult our travel.gc.ca website to learn about travel advisories, safety and security, entry/exit requirements, health, laws and cultures, climate, emergency contacts, etc.

Travellers looking for fun in the sun or a relaxing time away from their busy life do not want the additional stress of an unexpected illness or accident abroad. To avoid that, buying travel insurance is essential.

To this end, we offer practical tips that you might want to share with your members. You will find them on our printable travel insurance fact sheet and our travel insurance webpage located on travel.gc.ca.

We have also created messaging and infographics that you can easily share on your social media platforms:

EN : Planning your winter escape? Always buy travel insurance, no matter where you go, and no matter for how long. Your Canadian health insurance may not pay your medical fees while you are outside Canada, and foreign hospitals can be very expensive.
