Something really awesome happened today! #Kamloops /thread
My parents ran away from Romania in 1990 with the dream of giving their children a better life. They landed in Canada with nothing but their two suitcases. I stayed behind (I was just two) with my grandparents, while they got established.
Unfortunately, their chemical engineering degrees were not recognized in Canada. As a result, they both starting working in the service industry, saving up as much as they could to bring me over.

In my career, I have never been more concerned than I am for what this province will face in the next ~36 hours.

#BCwildfires
There is the chance of (some) rain for a few areas by Sunday night / Monday, but between then and now we will have to navigate one of the most volatile combinations of natural and human factors that many of us have ever seen.
An unprecedented wildfire season, our second major heat event, and the looming fourth wave of the pandemic are coalescing in to one critical period.

And: short of a complete and unseasonal weather shift, we have at least another month of wildfire activity ahead of us.

Today, #BCWildfire Service personnel on the Sparks Lake Fire (K21001) will be conducting a controlled burn operation, with both helicopter and hand ignition. The goal of this operation is to remove the available fuel between the fire's edge and the fuel free guard.
The targeted area is from W of Red Lake, around Carabine Hill, tying into the wetlands on the SW quadrant of the fire. This will be a low intensity burn conducted to slow down and help limit spread. Ground personnel continue to lay hose along the fuel free guard in preparation.
This is done to ensure that they have water available to extinguish any smoke or flame that may be seen near the fuel free guard. Increased smoke will be highly visible to surrounding communities. Further information will be provided as it becomes available.

Thanks @DylanHoulihan4

I've included your thoughtful reflections in this thread. Thank you for your words.

"The provincial election is coming up and it has been a rather dull campaign with the NDP seeming to have a commanding lead over the BC Liberal Party" 1/7
"which has done an excellent job of looking rudderless. Last election, I had the great privilege of voting for Dan Hines of the @BCGreens when he ran in Kamloops-North Thompson." 2/7
"Dan is running in Kamloops-South Thompson this election and if you live in that riding, you should very much vote for him. Dan is a smart, principled person who would bring an important voice to our provincial legislature." 3/7

.@Wilkinson4BC - this leaflet is a disgrace. You are knowingly misleading people in #MapleRidge for your own political gain #bcpoli
You KNOW this housing includes 24/7 staff supports, onsite clinical supports and connections to addictions services.
It follows the same model as all supportive housing including ictoria Johnston st location which YOU site as a success.
