Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of our more commonly asked questions. Need information on something else? Please contact us by phone or email.
Ensuring the health and safety of our customers and staff is our top priority. We are closely following the ongoing and evolving recommendations of Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer, and WorkSafe BC to ensure a safe environment. All Flying Fish staff wear masks and all customers are required to wear masks when entering the store.
When visiting the store you will see:
- Reduced occupancy levels to allow for physical distancing (limited number of customers permitted in the store at once)
- Plexiglass shields and hand sanitizer at the cash desk
- Enhanced cleaning and sanitization
- Contactless pay options
- Curbside pickup (please call to make arrangements).
Due to the reduced occupancy levels, there may be times that customers are asked to wait outside before being permitted in. If you are shopping with others, all of you may not be permitted in at the same time if we are unable to meet our occupancy level limits. We suggest splitting up into smaller groups, or staggering your visits. Please know this is for the safety of our customers and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. We appreciate your patience.
