With the pandemic keeping many from venturing outside the province’s borders, people noted a staggered online queue last spring.
Some said even by logging in at the 7 a.m. opening, they were only able to book a spot three hours later.
Within four hours, over 9,600 reservations had been made. Over 1,000 more than the year previous.
