This is horrific and heartbreaking, on a day meant to honour culture and community. We are with the Filipino community on this day, and every day.

Thank you to our first responders who are on the scene.

Negativity isn't going to win a trade war.

Negativity won't pay the rent or the mortgage.

Please use your health benefits! If you are lucky enough to have extended health care benefits, please use them! Resource yourself AND flow funds into your local community through support of healthcare workers, like counselors, RMTs, physios, dentists and optometrists.

A new program is trying to cut down on assessment of U.S. trained professionals coming to B.C.
