Free flu shots this year!

The Province has made flu vaccines free for everyone this year! To find a clinic, go to http://immunizebc.ca/clinics. There you can book an appointment online and help everyone stay safe.

Dear Neighbour,
It is now the end of July and heading into the August long weekend. How the time has flown by. BC Day is this Monday. For over a year now, the frontline workers, the nurses, teachers, first responders and grocery store workers, to name just a few, have worked very hard in very challenging situations to provide much needed services for all of us. At 7 PM on BC Day, I am going to make some noise and show my thanks to all the frontline workers. I hope you will too. Please take the time, join in and show your support by banging your pots and pans at 7 PM on BC Day!
