Apparently "the vaccine clinic" was not the answer the poster was looking for when they asked where they could go without the vaxpass.

⚠️Public Advisory: Update on Forest Fire Impacting Labrador City and Wabush; Evacuation Order Issued for Labrador City

The Provincial Government has advised that an evacuation order is in place for Labrador City. The order stems from extreme fire behaviour that has occurred today and expected into tomorrow (Saturday).

The fire has the potential to grow significantly closer to Labrador West over the next 24 to 48 hours. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and closely monitor local media and news reports as conditions are likely to change on short notice.

An incident management team has been activated to manage the response. Aerial resources are actioning the fire and will be sectioning the fire once it is safe to do so. Forestry officials are coordinating with the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre, which has been activated to Level 2 – Enhanced Monitoring. Emergency management partners have been engaged to respond, if necessary.

Currently, there are 11 active wildfires in Labrador and current weather conditions have increased potential for fire activity throughout this weekend. The public can view updated active wildfire information, including maps identifying the location of fires, on the online NL Active Wildfire Dashboard at https://t.co/fpER2Zc2D7

Information on how to be prepared can be accessed at https://t.co/XVprL2xFSC.

@thecarlacrotty Ok but Friday at 1am 🤣

What an embarrassment to have colleagues in town- no rental cars available with winter tires- no plows overnight- and a 515 am flight during a snowfall.

@drewfoundland I'm passionate about citations obviously

[Jillian Jiggs @jillianjulia_]

@drewfoundland Don't forget to take the chrome extension on a d8
Also if you use a tablet and stylus for workload and annotation there are some good 3rd party apps (xodo + zootero on Android for me)
And don't sleep on the native notes feature like I did til the last semester (after 9...)
