DECEMBER 10: HUMAN RIGHTS DAY

Simply by existing in the world, you are entitled to certain basic rights: your human rights. Everyone is born with the right to a life of equality, dignity and respect, free from discrimination. These rights are protected in law but not always realized.
BC’s Office of the Human Rights Commissioner

November 23, 2020

As we can see, COVID19 is pretty persistent, Northern Health is reporting new cases in our region, close to home. More restrictions are in affect. We are all tired, some of us have been as careful as possible, protecting our elderly loved ones and each other and yet, the virus is back, stronger than before.

As the COVID blues sets in, let’s be kind to each other as Dr. Bonnie Henry urges. But let’s also follow the science. It’s the other virus – virus of suspicion, conspiracy and disbelief that is a great breeding ground for the real virus to thrive.

We can see the light at the end of tunnel with the announcements of several vaccines in 2021 but in the meantime, I will do my best to keep everyone around me safe, proudly showing off my mask. And I know you will do the same. Thank you!
