In the middle of the worst wildfire season in BC's history, with a number of large fires burning in the East Kootenay and beyond, Meta has blocked access to the Cranbrook Townsman Facebook page in response to the fallout from C-18.

Wineries are a critical part of tourism for BC. Today I was grateful to meet with the @SimilkameenWine w/ @mikefarnworthbc and @rr4mla.

What an incredible group of kind and hard working folks. Our gov is working hard to support them but they need your support too!

[Northwest Interagency Coordination Center @NWCCInfo]

The Pacific NW will move to Preparedness Level Four at 1200 today, August 12. With projected thunderstorms coming to the Region, please let us all work together and prevent human caused fires. Every new preentable fire start will take critical resources away from existing fires.

Great to have a conversation with the @CaribooRD, fire chief Paul McCarthy, @TELUS, and community members about connectivity in the Cariboo. Rural BC families deserve reliable access to high-speed internet. Happy to announce 1300 more homes connected! https://t.co/T8ZhuWpwAw

It is worth noting that this exact situation--an extremely strong atmospheric river bringing brief period of record rainfall in midst of severe and temperature-amplified drought--is what we expect to see in California with #ClimateChange. #CAwx #CAwater https://t.co/pKO7f0Pnhw

Anti-vaxxers have been sharing a video of a "molecular biologist" or "doctor" talking to Dawson Creek city council about COVID-19.

The truth is she is a natural healer/psychic.

Keep off the water and out of the way when skimmers and choppers are collecting water from our lakes. It’s not rocket science, folks!

[Regional District of Kootenay Boundary @RDKBdotcom]

Just a note that this applies to #RDKB residents in the Christina Lake area. Thanks for playing your part in helping firefighters do their job! @CLFireRescue
