Federal government advises spring break vacationers to secure travel insurance

The federal government has issued an advisory for Canadians going on vacation during spring break, encouraging them to secure travel insurance, among other tips. Everyone including those in the prime of their health must secure travel insurance, the government stated in its release. The release, which was published on the official federal website, even recommends that Canadians “should purchase the best travel insurance they can afford.” The insurance should cover for health, life, and disability, allowing travellers to avoid incurring emergency expenses such as hospitalization costs or medical treatment outside of Canada.
