Hi, we’re enjoying a lovely sit in the lower mainland of British Columbia. We drove here from Calgary. I don’t like borrowing trouble but I am curious as it looks like one of our airlines in Canada is going on strike. I’m just wondering since we have a car rental for six days, and our sit ends in two more nights I would be flexible but paying for the car rental is our only concern. Are we just stuck with that if the sit is extended due to the carrier going on strike. I haven’t asked what airline they are on but WestJet is a good chance. Cheers Tina
@TinasTV sitters are not expected to stay beyond the agreed end date of the sit . Owners should have a back up plan in mind to deal with this kind of delay / or any similar emergency if it arises .
We had this situation on our last sit - the owners return flight was cancelled so they were not able to return on the end day - the owners didn’t ask us to stay on ( although we wouldn’t have minded if they had ) When their flight was cancelled they arranged for a neighbour to take over and told us not to worry it was all sorted .
If you offer to stay on ( which you are not obliged to do ) inform THS so that they can alter the end date. If you don’t do this - the extended sit won’t be “officially “ on the books and will no longer be covered by THS and also you will no longer have access to the Welcome Guide .

Wonderful information from @Silversitters and worthy of review.
Looks like the strike is a no-go
