Thank you @HannahThibedeau for the chance to talk about the crisis facing our children. I get a bit emotional. As a healthcare worker, the thought of children dying and the fact that we aren't doing anything is soul crushing. Please. Protect our children. cbc.ca/player/play/21…
Due to an extreme weather alert for heavy rainfall, additional shelter spaces will be available tonight, Nov. 16 to Monday, Nov. 18. Details below. Translations available: 繁體中文 | 简体中文 | Tagalog| Español |ਪੰਜਾਬੀ | Tiếng Việt 1/7
This is disturbing at the best of times. Worse knowing that there is a critically ill child who is infected with the H5N1 strain that is infecting migratory birds. Stay away from sick/dead birds, report any sightings to the BC Wild Bird Mortality Line (1-866-431-2473). #bcpoli
Carolyn Law didn’t think much of it when a snow goose landed in her Richmond backyard, on Halloween. About eight hours after she first saw the bird, it rolled over, began convulsing and died. vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/11/13/wha…
Confirmed H5N1, same clade as the one affecting migratory birds. The child is hospitalized, in critical condition. It is still not known how they caught it. Layers of protection: clean the air, vaccinate, stay home when sick. Stay away (including pets) from sick animals. #bcpoli
CONFIRMATION: The Public Health Agency of Canada confirms that a teen in B.C. Children’s Hospital is infected with a human case of bird flu. READ MORE: trib.al/f0bwbxR">trib.al/f0bwbxR trib.al/f0bwbxR">trib.al/f0bwbxR
I spoke with @EmilyLazatin about Avian flu. While not a cause for panic yet, preparation is key. Schools should improve ventilation; parents, ensure kids' vaccines are up to date. Stay home when sick. Stay away from sick/dead birds. @GlobalBC #bcpoli globalnews.ca/news/10864171/…
This is not good. I really hope that schools have updated their air purification & ventilation systems so that our kids go back to clean air in their learning environments. In the meantime: make sure your vaccines are up to date, stay home when sick, clean the air. #bcpoli
NEW - A teenager in BC’s Fraser Valley has tested presumptive positive for bird flu caused by the H5 influenza virus, the first detection of avian influenza due to the H5 virus in a person acquired in Canada. #bcpoli
Measles exposure at YVR. Note that measles is not “just a rash” & can make one quite sick. Symptoms include fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, rash. Please be aware. Make sure your immunizations & your kids’ immunizations are up to date! #bcpoli @VCHhealthcare @DoctorsOfBC
Travellers who were at YVR on Oct 16 are being advised of a possible measles exposure. Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a rash. See the public advisory for further details: ow.ly/pCE450TVHsz

If you caught COVID this summer, it's still important to receive the updated vaccine this fall. Getting the vaccine helps protect you and your community. 💉 ❗️This visual is a modified version of a post originally shared by Moderna, but this is NOT a sponsored post.️❗️

This is NOT the solution to the doctor shortage. We cannot remove preventative health. @CMA_Docs
Quebec mulls scrapping family doctors for healthy patients. Scenario would have only those deemed more vulnerable assigned a family doctor. cbc.ca/news/canada/mo… via @cbcnews
Along with @BradWestPoCo and @Khelsilem, I was part of @GlobalBC’s post debate panel. Here is a snippet of our discussion with @SoniaSunger globalnews.ca/video/10803367…
Invitations for Flu and Covid vaccinations are starting to roll out in BC. Keep your eye out for yours so that you can book your appointments for flu and Covid shots. Covid is still circulating. Protect yourselves from serious respiratory illnesses this season. #bcpoli
6:29AM October 7, 2023. The moment time stopped. Beeri. Nahal Oz. Nir Oz. Reim. The Nova Festival. Kfar Aza. Sderot. Ofakim. Nirim. Holit. Zikim. Ashkelon. We remember the victims. We pray for the return of the hostages. #RememberOctober7
This was just a moment in the woods. Our moment, shimmering and lovely and sad. Leave the moment, just be glad for the moment that we had. Every moment is of moment when you're in the woods. . .
