45 years ago today, we lost Terry Fox, just one month before his 23rd birthday.
Though his life was far too short, his legacy continues to grow with each passing generation.
Today, on behalf of a grateful people in @CityofPoCo and beyond, we humbly laid flowers at Terry’s resting place in the community he called home.
Thank you, Terry. Port Coquitlam will always carry your spirit forward.
ER closures kill. Another example.
The Port Hardy ER has been closed from 5pm to 7am since Jan/2023.
Yesterday, at 4:55pm, an ambulance was refused at Port Hardy, and the patient diverted to Port McNeill, >40km away.
The patient didn't make it.
A BC Ferries sailing bound for Nanaimo was delayed Sunday after being diverted to assist with a marine emergency near Tsawwassen. https://t.co/pDT2Ooryp3
Remember that flashback scene in The Handmaid's Tale when all of the women suddenly don't have access to their money and are summarily fired? It feels insane, and Now understand that trans people in Kansas just woke up and no longer have their ID. No way to drive, no way to vote, no way to prove who they are. That happening in America should feel just as insane.

Looking forward to the comments..
I can vouch for this. We filled out the paperwork to be a food vendor specifically with barbecue and had planned to be there for the entire celebration. Stopped hearing from organizers late last summer, and here we are. Truly sad what has happened, this would have been a truly incredible event.

"You guys are Canadian HEROES! Canadian HEROES! Canadian heroes for the future children of this country, who play this sport. This sport has a big future because of you guys.
