True Key Hotels & Resorts (True Key), a celebrated leader in the hospitality industry, is thrilled to unveil the completion of phases one and two of a transformative renovation project at the Harrison Beach Hotel. This milestone ushers in an exciting new chapter of elegance and refinement for our guests.

In truth, I should probably call this little getaway a wor-cation. I recently read a story on how the pandemic is depleting our surge-capacity, that boost of energy that helps us get through brief, tough moments. It turns out this depletion can also affect the energy that comes right before we take time-off, the drive that allows us to get everything done, so we don’t have to do it while on a break.

Red foxes have been spotted wandering the city streets of Ashkelon, Israel, a young puma has been seen roaming the roads of Santiago, Chile, and wild turkeys have been caught strutting through Montreal’s East End. With the world hunkering down at home to slow the spread of COVID-19, wildlife is emerging in unexpected places around the globe, and in the small B.C. town of Harrison Hot Springs, things are getting a little wilder as well.

When the visitors are away, the Sasquatch will play. So many native animals are returning to their natural habitats as coronavirus cleared the streets and scenery of popular tourist destinations across the world, and Harrison Hot Springs is no exception. Photos recently surfaced of the legendary Sasquatch, on a holiday of its own, frolicking near Harrison Lake.

HARRISON HOT SPRINGS, B.C. — The current global pandemic keeping people much closer to home, the world is witnessing a resurgence of animals rewilding our cities and towns. Much like the dolphins returning to Venetian canals and wild boars wandering the streets of Italy’s towns, so too has the legendary Sasquatch returned to its natural habitat in British Columbia’s Village of Harrison Hot Springs.

At one hotel in Canada’s British Columbia, the staff, now reduced down just to essential workers, have began to document the return of one such creature. Except this one is a little more fantastical than a Welsh goat or a Spanish peacock. At the Harrison Beach Hotel, part of the True Key Hotels & Resorts group, who manage eight resorts across Western Canada, they have seen the return of the elusive Sasquatch!

It’s Friday and we all need a bit of a lighter look at the world around us. Too much COVID-19 all the time. So, a tip of the hat to True Key Hotels & Resorts who brings a touch of humour to us today. The BC hospitality company reports that with COVID-19 keeping everyone close to home, the world is seeing the rewilding of animals in cities and towns.
