Covid-19 update from Oak Island
We hope this finds everyone safe and well. We understand that for some travellers watching the situation from your homes, you may not have access to the latest Covid-19 information from Nova Scotia.
The Province of Nova Scotia remains under a "State of Emergency". What this means is that public social gatherings of more than 10 persons are prohibited under the Health Protection Act. Persons entering Nova Scotia at any border crossing are required to self isolate for 14 days. This also means provincial borders. Social distancing of 6' remains in place. Our Federal Government, in a statement on March 14, suggested that social distancing measures will remain in place for some time, possibly until a vaccine is available. Our Federal and Provincial Governments are working together on the Covid-19 responses.
Covid-19 is and will have a huge impact for tourist activities on Oak Island, as it is not an essential service. Our group size of 50 or 140 people does not permit social distancing, and the public social gathering size will likely not increase to 50 persons for some time.
Our tours for May and most of June have been cancelled, and we will make decisions regarding June 27th and 28th cancellations during the first week of June, to allow travellers time to cancel any other portion of their travel plans. The Interpretive Centre is also closed until July 1st, and a decision to reopen will be made on June 15th. In the meantime, our online store is still available.

OGHAM: Many viewers are suggesting Ogham as an explanation for the carved stone.
ROMAN NUMERALS: Since the airing of the possible discovery of the 90' Stone, many fans have commented that the initials may be roman numerals. Thank You
LIDAR: Was completed in 2016 and is available on the GeoNova website.
METAL DETECTING: Metal detecting happens under a Heritage Research Permit, each year. The Archeologist submits this and the amount of detecting will remain manageable by one or two experienced persons with island knowledge.
VOLUNTEERS: Offers are received daily by people wishing to help with the research and physical work efforts on Oak Island. The owners, their families and close associates, both on and off screen, are able to manage the work required.
