🔴 Sadly, one more person has passed away from COVID-19 in BC. I wish to extend my sincere condolences to their family, community, and their caregivers in this very difficult moment.
🏞 Many provincial parks (including Golden Ears) will open for day-camping this Thursday, May 14.
❓ The BC Centre for Disease Control wants to hear from British Columbians about their experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have opened a survey until May 31 which you can find at this link: http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/diseases-conditions/covid-19/covid-19-survey
We need to be thoughtful and take this slowly. The orders and restrictions put in place are to keep us all safe. WorkSafeBC and public health officials are working on guidelines for different business sectors as our province re-opens. As Dr. Henry said, we can safely restart our province; to get our province and society moving again, we need keep COVID-19 under control.
Be safe. Be well.
