Covid-19 Portal Update

No, it’s not a magic portal to help you get to a world without Covid-19, it’s our information page! We update it when we know anything new or can give you any updates. We of course, put all updates on social and in our newsletter, too! But, why not have as much information out in the world as possible. Please, don’t be strangers though, if you have any questions or concerns, send us an email! We are happy answer things as best we can.

Here are our newest updates on our Covid-19 page:

  • We do not have any updates about when Canada will be easing travel restrictions. But we encourage everyone to see this as positive. Setting hard dates is often not based on science, it’s based on commerce. In order to keep everyone safe and alive, we should be looking at science based, community dependant and conditional easing of restrictions.

  • AEI will not have a ‘Covid Guarantee’ on fees as we have always made deposits 100% transferable. Signing up for a trip should not cause financial hardship or anxiety, if you need to change your dates because of health, travel changes or anything not pandemic related, we are happy to help. You can read more about our cancellation policy here.

  • Currently the best way to help is by donating. Centres around the world are hurting because volunteers are sometimes their only source of income. Small donations once you and your family are taken care of, will really make a difference. We are collecting donations through our website so you don’t have to pay admin or bank fees. Just write where you would like your donations to go and we will get it to the centre ASAP.
