Remember a reasonable Get in section, as well as listings, is needed to make usable.

Done As of 30 June 2020, all articles are at usable status or above.

Next steps:

1. Ensure that new articles are brought to usable status quickly.
2. Review Usable articles to determine if any meet Guide status already and change their status to reflect that.

Key destinations that should be guides but still needs some more content and work done on them.

Other candidates that could with just a little effort be guide status:

• Kamloops
• Kelowna

Articles that are being worked on or under discussion such as merge or delete. Or articles you wish to bring to other attention.
