COLLECTIVELY TO STOP THESE
EXPOSURE EVENTS FROM HAPPENING.

HEALTH OFFICIALS WARN B.C.'S
NUMBERS ARE TOO HIGH.
ALSO...
>> 20 TO 25 PEOPLE SORT OF
STARTED POURING OUT OF THE BUS,
LOOKED LIKE A CLOWN CAR, ALMOST.

GIVING HER THE RUN-AROUND?
>> (Announcer): THIS IS CBC
VANCOUVER NEWS.
>> Lien: GOOD EVENING AND
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
B.C.'S TOP DOCTOR SAYS WE NEED
TO DO BETTER.
>> Mike: AND Dr. BONNIE
HENRY IS WARNING THAT THE
PROVINCE MUST URGENTLY WORK TO
REFLATTEN AN UPWARD TRENDING
COVID-19 CURVE.
WHILE B.C. HAS GONE TEN DAYS
WITHOUT A DEATH DR. HENRY IS
REPORTING 131 NEW CASES FROM THE
PAST THREE DAYS.
THAT ALSO SETS A RATHER ALARMING
NEW RECORD AS WELL.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN B.C.'S
OUTBREAK WE HAVE GONE SIX
STRAIGHT DAYS REPORTING AT LEAST
35 NEW CASES.
>> Lien: THERE ARE TWO NEW
HEALTH CARE OUTBREAKS TO REPORT,
BOTH IN BURNABY.
THE GEORGE DERBY CENTRE AND THE
NEW VISTA CARE CENTRE BRINGING
THE TOTAL TO EIGHT LONG-TERM OR
ACUTE CARE OUTBREAKS.
>> Mike: SOME GOOD NEWS
TONIGHT.
HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE DOWN TO
NINE WITH THREE PATIENTS IN
INTENSIVE CARE.
DESPITE B.C.'S CONSISTENTLY
HIGHER CASE COUNTS IN RECENT
WEEKS, DR. HENRY SAYS CONTACT
TRACING HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE.
>> WE ARE DOING WHAT WE CALL
SOCIAL NETWORK WORK ANALYSIS TO
MAKE SURE WE'RE FINDING PEOPLE
AND MANY OF THOSE PEOPLE, THE
VAST MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WHO
TESTED POSITIVE OVER THE PAST
THREE DAYS WERE PEOPLE WHO WERE
ON OUR CONTACT LIST, WHO WERE
AMONGST THE 1500, 1700 PEOPLE
WHO ARE IN ACTIVE DAILY
FOLLOW-UP, AND THAT MEANS THAT
AS THEY DEVELOPED THEIR ILLNESS,
THEY WERE ISOLATED AND THEY NO
LONGER EXPOSED OTHERS, BREAKING
THOSE CHAINS OF TRANSMISSION.
THIS IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT,
BECAUSE THIS IS HOW WE KNOW WE
CAN MANAGE WITH THE CASES THAT
WE'RE SEEING HERE IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA.
>> Lien: THERE IS GROWING
UNCERTAINTY AMONG PARENTS,
STUDENTS AND STAFF AS WE EDGE
CLOSER TO BACK TO SCHOOL.
>> WHILE SPECIFICS REMAIN
UNCLEAR, WE ARE GETTING A FEW
MORE DETAILS ON WHAT CLASSROOMS
WILL LOOK LIKE COME SEPTEMBER.
>> OUR TANYA FLETCHER JOINS US
LIVE WITH THE LATEST.
TANYA, WHAT DID DR. HENRY HAVE
TO SAY ABOUT IT TODAY?
>> DR. HENRY ACKNOWLEDGED OFF
THE TOP THERE IS STILL A LOT OF
ANXIETY ABOUT THE RETURN TO
SCHOOL THIS FALL.
SHE'S SENDING OUT A REASSURING
MESSAGE OF SORTS.
SHE EMPHASIZED THAT EACH SCHOOL
DISTRICT IS TAKING THE INITIAL
OVER-ARCHING FRAMEWORK TO
CUSTOMIZE THEIR OWN DETAILED
COVID-19 EIGHT PLAN AND TAILOR
THE GUIDELINES TO FIT EACH
SCHOOL.
SHE INSISTS THAT WORK IS BEING
DONE TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE
LAYERS OF PROTECTION FROM THE
FIRST DAY OF THE SCHOOL YEAR TO
THE LAST DAY AND SHE REPEATED
THAT WILL MEAN STAGGERED START
TIMES, LUNCHES, AND RECESSES.
SHE ALSO WENT NO MORE DETAIL
ABOUT HOW EXACTLY THAT WILL
WORK.
>> WE TALK ABOUT THE LAYER OF
LEARNING GROUPS.
THAT MEANS THAT IT MAY BE THAT
TWO OR THREE CLASSES ALL START
AT THE SAME TIME AND HAVE RECESS
AT THE SAME TIME.
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ALL OF
THOSE CHILDREN WILL BE
INTERMINGLING EVERY DAY.
IT MEANS THEY MAY GO FOR RECESS
AT THE SAME TIME, BUT THEY'LL BE
IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE
SCHOOLYARD.
>> SHE ADDS THEY'RE ALSO STILL
CONSIDERING A NUMBER OF
INNOVATIVE IDEAS, FOR EXAMPLE,
IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE MORE
OUTDOOR INSTRUCTION, HOW DO WE
INCREASE OUTSIDE VENTILATION,
AND WHERE CAN WE SEE SMALLER
GROUPS WITH MORE PHYSICAL
DISTANCING, THAT KIND OF THING.
>> Mike: OKAY, SO WHAT ABOUT
MASKS IN SCHOOLS?
A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS.
ANY MORE CLARITY ON WHAT WE
MIGHT EXPECT ON CLASSROOMS ON
THAT FRONT IN THE FALL.
>> NOTHING IS SET IN STONE WHEN
IT COMES TO THE CLASSROOM AND
MASKS.
B.C. MAY BE UPDATING ITS MASK
POLICY BASED ON PUBLIC HEALTH
ADVICE A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE
FALL SCHOOL RESTART.
WE HEARD THAT TODAY.
THE EDUCATION MINISTER SAID
THERE ARE CERTAIN SETTINGS WHERE
MASKS ARE REQUIRED AND THE
PROVINCE WILL MAKE MASKS
AVAILABLE FOR ALL STAFF OR
STUDENTS.
WHILE IT'S NOT CLEAR UNWHAT
CONDITIONS THEY'LL BE USED HE
DID MAKE IT CLEAR THERE WILL BE
MASKS USED IN SCHOOLS TO SOME
DEGREE.
>> MASKS ARE GOING TO PLAY A
SIGNIFICANT ROLE COME SEPTEMBER.
WE ARE LOOKING AT THE APPROACH
THE DIFFERENT PROVINCES ARE
TAKING.
THAT'S AN AREA WHERE THE HEALTH
AND SAFETY COMMITTEE WHICH IS A
WORKING GROUP OF OUR STEERING
COMMITTEE IS DISCUSSING
DIFFERENT POTENTIAL MASK
PROTOCOLS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
>> BY THE WAY, THE GREENS ASKED
HIM DURING QUESTION PERIOD
WHETHER B.C. WOULD CONSIDER
DELAYING THE BACK TO SCHOOL DATE
GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY.
HE DIDN'T GIVE A CLEAR ANSWER IN
THE HOUSE SO REPORTERS PRESS ON
IT FURNITURE AFTER QP AND HE
BASICALLY SAID THAT'S NOT ON THE
TABLE.
FLEMING SAYS THE GOAL IS STILL
TO SEE KIDS BACK IN THE
CLASSROOM SEPTEMBER 8 BUT
CAUTIONED THE FIRST WEEK BACK
WILL LOOK MUCH DIFFERENT THAN
RECENT YEARS.
>> IF YOU'RE HEADING TO SIMON
FRASER UNIVERSITY YOU SHOULD
PACK A CASE COVERING.
THE UNIVERSITY IS NOW ASKING ALL
VISITORS TO ITS CAMPUSES IN
VANCOUVER, BURNABY AND SURREY TO
WEAR A NON-MEDICAL MASK INDOORS.
STARTING MONDAY S.F.U. IS ASKING
THAT MASKS BE WORN IN ENTRY
WAILS, ATRIUMS, HALLWAYS,
WASHROOMS, AND STUDY AREAS.
EVEN THOUGH THE CAMPUS IS
RESTRICTING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
ON THE GROUND THE SCHOOL SAYS
COMMON AREAS STILL CAN BE
CONGESTED AND HARDER TO MAINTAIN
A SAFE PHYSICAL DISTANCE.
>> Mike: B.C.'S FOOD AND
BEVERAGE INDUSTRY IS CALLING FOR
TIGHTER COVID-19 PROTOCOLS FOR
PARTY BUSES.
>> Lien: IT'S THE RESULT OF A
DOWNTOWN BAR REFUSING SERVICE TO
A GROUP OF 25 PASSENGERS ON A
PARTY BUS OVER THE WEEKEND.
>> FOR HOTEL BELMONT'S
RESTAURANT...
FOLLOWING COVID-19 SAFETY
PROTOCOLS HAS BEEN A PRIORITY.
WHEN A PARTY BUS ROLLED UP OUT
FRONT SATURDAY NIGHT THEY WERE
SHOCKED.
>> 20 TO 25 PEOPLE SORT OF
STARTED POURING OUT OF THE BUS,
IT LOOKED LIKE A CLOWN CAR,
ALMOST.
THEY KEPT COMING AND COMING AND
COMING.
>> Reporter: THERE WAS ALREADY
A POSSIBLE COVID EXPOSURE AT THE
HOTEL LAST MONTH SO WHEN THE
PARTY GOERS TRIED TO ENTER IT
WAS AN EASY DECISION.
>> MANAGER TOLL HER CLEARLY,
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THERE'S
STRICT RULES IN PLACE AND YOU
GUYS OBVIOUSLY AREN'T FOLLOWING
THEM SO YOU WOKEN BE COMING IN
HERE TONIGHT.
>> EVEN AS B.C.'S RESTAURANTS
AND BARS CONTINUE TO SUFFER
ECONOMICALLIMENT INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION SAYS IT WAS THE
RIGHT CALL.
>> I THINK THE TOUR BUS
OPERATORS, OR THE PARTY BUS
OPERATORS, IF THEY WANT TO STAY
IN BUSINESS THEY'LL HAVE TO SHOW
THE INDUSTRY THAT THE PEOPLE
THEY'RE TRANSPORTING A SAFE.
OTHERWISE WE CAN'T ACCEPT THEM.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS
RESTAURANTS HAVE HAD TO ADAPT
AND HE'S CALLING ON THE OPERATOR
OF THE PARTY BUS TO STEP UP ITS
COVID-19 PROTOCOLS.
OTHERS IN THE INDUSTRY AGREE,
SAYING IT MAKES ALL OF THEM LOOK
BAD.
>> THE INDUSTRY ARE, YOU KNOW,
FOR THE LAST FIVE, SIX YEARS
HAVE ALREADY HAD A BIG BULLY'S
EYE ON US AS IT IS.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS THERE'S
BEEN GENERAL ADVICE FROM THE
GOVERNMENT BUT NOTHING PESK TO
THE INDUSTRY, SUCH AS CAPPING
PASSENGER NUMBERS.
STILL, HE SAYS THE ANSWERS ARE
PRETTY EASY TO DECIPHER.
>> WE HAVE OUR OWN UNIQUE
SITUATION GOING SO WE HAD TO
EXERCISE COMMON SENSE, AND OF
COURSE LISTENING TO BONNIE
HENRY.
>> Reporter: BUT IT RAISES
QUESTIONS AROUND OVERSIGHT.
IN AN INDUSTRY THAT HAS LONG
BEEN AT THE CENTRE OF CALLS FOR
TOUGHER REGULATION.
WORKSAFE B.C. SAYS ALL EMPLOYERS
ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A COVID-19
SAFETY PLAN, INCLUDING PARTY
BUSES, ADDING THEY'VE GIVEN
CLEAR ADVICE ON HOW TO DO THAT
SAFELY.
WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE INDUSTRY,
THE GOVERNMENT SAID THE PUBLIC
HEALTH ADVICE HAS BEEN
CONSISTENT.
>> IT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
THAT PEOPLE FOLLOW THOSE
RECOMMENDATIONS AND GUIDELINES.
THAT'S HOW WE ARE GOING TO GET
AND KEEP THIS PANDEMIC UNDER
CONTROL.
>> Reporter: JOEL BALLARD, CBC
NEWS, VANCOUVER.
>> THE OPEN OF A POPULAR SOUTH
SURREY RESTAURANT, AFGHAN
KITCHENS, SAYS FLOWERS IN HIS

AT THE HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC
THE SHOP'S OWNER WANTED TO GIVE
PEOPLE WALKING BY SOMETHING
BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT, HE SAYS.
THAT'S WHERE THE PLANTS CAME IN.
BUT HIS CAMERAS HAVE NOW CAUGHT
SOMEONE YANKING FLOWERS FROM THE
BOXES AND DRIVING OFF WITH THEM.
IT STARTED AT THE BEGINNING OF

R.C.M.P. WHO IN TURN TOLD ME TO

>> Reporter: AFTER CBC STARTED
ASKING QUESTIONS, COQUITLAM
R.C.M.P. AGREED TO OPEN AN
INVESTIGATION AND T.D. SAYS IT'S
TAKEN ACTION ON THE FRAUDSTER'S
BANK ACCOUNT.
THE C.R.A. SAYS THEY PRIORITIZE
CASES LIKE THIS ONE.
IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT, A
SPOKESPERSON SAID FRAUD VICTIMS
WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE MONEY PAID OUT TO
FRAUDSTERS.
McWILLIAMS IS SENDING BACK THE
TWO CERB CHEQUES BUT HER C.R.A.

STILL A MYSTERY HOW THIS
HAPPENED.
>> THE C.R.A. ACCOUNT IS SECURE
IN TERMS OF QUESTIONS, THE

I WANT THIS RESOLVED AND I DON'T

RIGHT NOW IT'S WARM, TODAY
REALLY RAMPED OFF.
HIGHER MARINE CLOUD AND THINGS
COOLER AND WE SAW THINGS REALLY
STEAMING UP.
26 IN ABBOTSFORD EARLIER, 27, SO
WE'RE COOLING DOWN BY A DEGREE
OR TWO.
TOMORROW WE'LL SEE MORE MARINE
AIR COMING IN, IT FRESHENS
THINGS UP AND KEEPS THINGS ON
THE COOLER SIDE.
IT DOES PROVIDE SOME UNSETTLED
CONDITIONS FOR MUCH OF THE
PROVINCE.
WE HAVE A COOLER SYSTEM COMING
DOWN FROM THE NORTH AND THAT
BRINGS A CHANCE OF SOME
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE B.C. PEACE
AND THE CENTRAL INTERIOR, SO
WE'LL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON
LIGHTNING STRIKES IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS.
THANKFULLY, THOUGH, THE COOLER
TEMPERATURES WILL HELP WITH ANY
OF THE FIRE RISK.
FOR US, HERE, SERVING THE
SOUTHERN HAVRE OF THE PROVINCE

COMMERCIAL SALMON FISHERY.
MAYBE IN THE FAMILIAR, BUT NOT
IN THE SUMMER.

SOME ARE ATTACHING SALMON,
DESPITE A LATE START TO THE
SEASON.
-- YEAH, WE'RE JUST GOING TO
INTO PORT ED TO OFFLOAD OUR FISH

OUT OF THE WATER HERA AND YOU
CAN'T ALWAYS COUNT ON A HUGE

I TELL THEM THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT IF YOU'RE A
PERSON FROM A TRIBE OR AN
INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY, OR EVEN IN
AFRICA, THESE ARE SOME THINGS
THAT PEOPLE CAN DO FOREVER, FOR
THE LONGEST TIME AND IT'S UP TO

HOPEFULLY HE DOESN'T RUN INTO A
POD OF ORCAS.

GOVERNMENT.
AS THE CBC'S MARGARET EVANS
REPORTS, THE PRIME MINISTER SAYS
HE AND THE ENTIRE CABINET ARE
QUITTING.
>> Reporter: IN THE SWIRLING
CAULDRON OF RAGE AND GRIEF THAT
IS BEIRUT, THE LEBANESE
GOVERNMENT'S MASS RESIGNATION
WAS SURELY INEVITABLE.
PROTESTERS PULLING AT BARRICADES
AND BLAST WALLS PROTECT BEING
THE PARLIAMENT AS IF TO
DISMANTLE THE INSTITUTIONS OF A
STATE DECRIED AS CORRUPT WITH
THEIR BARE HANDS.
THE PRIME MINISTER, HASSAN DIAB,
ANNOUNCED THE CABINET WOULD STEP
DOWN LATE AFTERNOON, SAYING THE
GOVERNMENT HAD DECIDED TO FOLLOW
THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
BUT THE PEOPLE WANT THE
PRESIDENT, MICHEL AOUN AND THE
PARLIAMENT SPEAKER TO GO TOO.
MANY LEBANESE HOLD THE ENTIRE
POLITICAL CLASS FOR THEIR
COUNTRY'S CURRENT DISTRESS, AN
ECONOMIC DISASTER BORN OF A
SYSTEM SPURNING ACCOUNTABILITY
AND BRED ON NEPOTISM AND GREED.
LAST WEEK'S EXPLOSION, MORE THAN
2,000 TONS OF AMMONIUM NITRATE
ALLOWED TO SIT IN THE MIDDLE OF
BEIRUT FOR YEARS, DESPITE
WARNINGS IS SEEN AS AN EXTENSION
AND FOR THOSE WHO LOVED LOVED
ONES IT IS UNFORGIVABLE.
NAV AND CHARBEL WERE COUSINS,
ALL THREE, PROUD FIREFIGHTERS.
>> THEY FEARED NOTHING.
THEY DIDN'T FEAR THE FIRE.
THEY -- THEY WERE SO BRAVE.
>> Reporter: AND ANTONELLA
LOST HER BROTHER, HAGIB AL-HADI.
>> I BLAME EVERYONE WHO KNEW
WHAT WAS INSIDE THE PLACE THAT
THE EXPLOSION HAPPENED.
I BLAME THE CORRUPTION OF MY
GOVERNMENT.
>> Reporter: BUT THE
GOVERNMENT'S RESIGNATION DOESN'T
SIGNAL AN END TO LEBANON'S
TRIALS, FAR FROM IT.
THOSE ON THE STREETS TRYING TO
SHIFT THE COUNTRY AWAY INTEREST
ITS OLD SECTARIAN VOTING LINES
HAVE TRIED BEFORE WITHOUT
SUCCESS.
AND NEW ELECTIONS MIGHT SIMPLY
SHUFFLE THE SAME OLD DECK.
TONIGHT PEOPLE WILL BE CHEERING
THE RESIGNATIONS, BUT THEY'LL
ALSO BE BRACING FOR THE NEXT
STAGE OF LEBANON'S LONG STRUGGLE
TO LEAVE ITS PAST BEHIND.

A WORLD AWAY 40 YEARS AGO.
27,000 CANADIANS WENT TO KOREA.
ABOUT TWICE AS MANY AS LANDED AT

TIMES AS MANY AS SERVED IN THE

THIS SO-CALLED FORGOTTEN WAR IN
CAREER IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE
IN THE MEMORIES OF THE MEN WHO
ACTUALLY FOUGHT THERE.
VETERANS WHO NOW LIVE IN
RETIREMENT IN PLACES LIKE
VERNON, FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA.
>> THEY SENT A CONTINGENT OUT
JUST TO OBSERVE OUR TRAINING
PROGRAM.

WANTED A 50 CALIBRE SO HE TOOK A
COUPLE OF BOTTLES OF GIN BACK

OF AMMUNITION.
SO IT WORKED VERY WELL.

BOOZE...
>> YEAH.
AMERICANS WOULD HAVE THE GUNS.
>> YEAH.
>> AND YOU'D MAKE AN ARRANGE.
>> OH, ABSOLUTELY.

YOU'D FIND ANYWHERE.
HIS MOST LASTING IMPRESSION OF
KOREA.

STORIES WE'RE FOLLOWING TONIGHT
ON CBC VANCOUVER NEWS.
>> I REPORTED TO THE COQUITLAM
R.C.M.P. WHO IN TURN TOLMIE TO
REPORT TO ONTARIO POLICE WHO I
DID REPORT TO, AND THEN
CONTACTED MY BACK SAYING IT
NEEDED TO GO TO COQUITLAM.
>> PORT COQUITLAM'S TARAH
McWILLIAMS SAYS SHE CAUGHT A
SERVICE SCAMMER WHO HACKED INTO
HER ACCOUNT RED-HANDED.
SHE REPORTED IT TO THE C.R.A.
AND POLICE BUT GETTING ACTION
FROM OFFICIALS HAS BEEN A
CHALLENGE, SHE SAYS.
SINCE CBC NEWS CONTACTED POLICE,
THOUGH, COQUITLAM R.C.M.P. SAY
THEY'VE NOW OPENED AN
INVESTIGATION.
>> OUR NUMBER OF NEW CASES IS
CLIMBING AND IT'S CLIMBING TO
LEVELS THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN A
NUMBER OF MONTHS.
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE NOW IN
SELF-ISOLATION IS DISTURBING.
>> Mike: B.C. IS REPORTING 131
NEW CASES OF COVID-19 SINCE
FRIDAY.
ACTIVE CASES ARE AT 445, THE
HIGHEST NUMBER SINCE MAY 11, AND
TRIPLE WHAT THEY WERE ON CANADA
DAY.
MORE THAN 1700 PEOPLE ARE IN
SELF-ISOLATION IN OTHER PROVINCE
DUE TO POSSIBLE EXPOSURE.
HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE WARNING WE
NEED TO URGENTLY FLATTEN THE
UPWARD TRENDING CURVE.
>> IT WAS SHOCKING, AS WELL ALL
THE NEWS THIS WEEK AND AFTER
SEEING THAT PEOPLE ARE STARTING
TO GET IT AND MORE PEOPLE ARE
STARTING TO FOLLOW THE RULES, TO
SEE THAT, IT WAS JUST LIKE...
(BIG SIGH)
>> RESTAURANT BERGS AT THE HOTEL

DEJECTED AFTER SEEING DOZENS OF

TRYING TO ENTER THEIR PREMISES
SATURDAY NIGHT.
THE INDUSTRY IS CALLING FOR
TIGHTER REGULATIONS ON PARTY BUS
OPERATORS.
>> RIGHT NOW MOST COVID-19
TESTING HAPPENS IN HOSPITAL,
DOCTORS OFFERSES OR IN A LAB.
>> Lien: BUT AS BUSINESSES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY TRY TO SAFELY
RESUME OPERATIONS A ANY MOBILEST
THAT CAN IDENTIFY SICK WORKERS
WHILE ON THE JOB IS AVAILABLE.
>> JOE ROM EXPLAINS HOW IT
WORKS.
>> Reporter: IN ONTARIO'S FAR
NORTH, THE START OF A NEW DAY
AND A CAUTIOUS RETURN TO NORMAL.
THIS IS NEW GOLD SILVER AND GOLD
MINE IN RAINY RIVER.
COVID-19 NEVER MADE IT IN HERE
AND THE PLAN IS TO KEEP IT THAT
WAY.
>> IT'S NOT A MATTER OF NUMBERS.
IT'S A MATTER OF ZERO IS THE
BAR.
>> Reporter: RENAUD ADAMS IS
NEWGOLD'S C.E.O., NOW WORKING
FROM HIS HOME IN OAKVILLE.
>> THAT'S THE BASELINE.
WE ARE AT ZERO AND WE WANT TO
STAY THERE.
>> Reporter: AS AN ESSENTIAL
SERVICE; THE MINE DIDN'T
COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHETHER THE
PANDEMIC HIT, BUT IT DID SCALE
BACK.
NOW AS LOCKDOWN RESTRICTIONS
SEIZE AND HUNDREDS MORE STAFF
START TO RETURN, THE RISK OF
INFECTION GOES UP TOO.
SO NEWGOLD IS TAKING COVID
SCREENING TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
AND PUTTING WORKPLACE SAFETY TO
THE ULTIMATE TEST.
THE COMPANY IS THE FIRST IN
CANADA TO TEST EMPLOYEES FOR
COVID ON SITE.
>> THAT'S IT.
>> Reporter: WITH WHAT COULD
BE AN INDUSTRY GAME CHANGER,
BECAUSE LISTEN, HERE'S THE
REMARKABLE PART:
>> WE SHOULD HAVE YOUR RESULTS
IN ABOUT TWO HOURS OR SO.
AND WE'LL GIVE YOU A CALL EITHER
WAY.
>> FOR ME PERMANENTLY, I'VE
ALWAYS WORKED TO SEE AN OUTCOME,
TO SEE SOMETHING USEFUL.
SO I'M DRIVEN BY THIS AND I CAN
SEE WE COULD REALLY HELP PEOPLE,
ORGANIZATIONS, AND MAKE THAT
DIFFERENCE.
LITERALLY BETWEEN LIFE AND
DEATH.
SO THIS IS THE DEVICE.
>> Reporter: MARIO THOMAS IS
THE C.E.O. OF PRECISION
BIOMONITORING IN GUELPH.
HE SAYS AS A SCIENTIST HE FELT A
MORAL OBLIGATION TO CREATE THIS.
>> AS YOU SEE, THERE'S NO POWER
CORD.
IT RUNS ON A BATTERY.
>> Reporter: A MOBILE RAPID
COVID TEST DESIGNED TO FLAG
POSITIVE CASES AND ISOLATE THEM
IN AS CLOSE TO REAL TIME AS IT
GETS.
>> WE CALL IT A VIRUS FREE ZONE.
SO WITH THE RIGHT PROTOCOLS IN
PLACE, PEOPLE CAN BE SCREENED ON
A REGULAR BASIS TO ENSURE THAT
EVEN ASYMPTOM PEOPLE WHO FEEL
GOOD AND CAN GO TO WORK, THEY
DON'T KNOW THEY'RE INFECTED, SO
WITH A PROPER SCREENING PROGRAM
WE CAN CATCH THIS AND ENSURE
THAT THE SITE REMAINS VIRUS
FREE.
>> Reporter: THE TEST IS
ESSENTIALLY A MINIATURE MOBILE
LAB THAT CAN ANALYZE NINE
SAMPLES AT A TIME.
>> FOR THIS AFTERNOON WE'RE
GOING THROUGH THE STEPS --
>> Reporter: ON THE OTHER END
OF THIS CALL, THE HEALTH CARE
WORKERS BACK IN RAINY RIVER.
>> THAT CAN BE DONE
SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR ALL THE
SAMPLES YOU'RE GOING TO DO IN
YOUR RUN ART AMANDA GNOME IS THE
COFOUNDER OF PRECISION
BIOMONITORING.
SHE'S TRAINING THEM ON WHAT TO
DO WITH THE SIDEWALKS THEY'VE
COLLECTED.
>> INCLUDING HOW TO ACTUALLY
TAKE YOUR SAMPLE FROM A SWAB AND
THEN TAKE THAT THROUGH ADDING TO
OUR REAGENT, DOING THE RNA
EXTRACTION, RUNNING THE WHOLE
PROCESS AND GETTING IT SET UP
AND THEN ALSO IMPORTANTLY,
LOOKING AT THE INTERPRETATION OF
THE RESULTS.
>> Reporter: IF THAT ALL
SOUNDS VERY SCIENCEY, IT IS.
BUT IT COMES DOWN TO A KEY
COMPONENT MANUFACTURED AT THIS
PLANT IN KANATA.
(PRINTING)
>> THOSE TINY BEADS ARE REAGENTS
OR BIOMEDICAL AGREEMENT.
THEY'RE FREEZE DRIED TO KEEP
THEM STABLE WHILE THEY'RE
TRANSPORTED TO A PLACE LIKE A
MINE.
HERE'S THE INNOVATIVE PART.
A SINGLE BEAD INCLUDES THE
COVID-19 EXIST DES AND THE
REAGENTS NEEDED TO DIAGNOSE A
PATIENT'S SAMPLE.
IT'S DESIGNED TO TARGET MULTIPLE
PARTS OF THE VIRUS AND WHY IT'S
GUARANTEED TO BE 98% ACCURATE.
FOR ANY ORGANIZATION THAT WANTS
TO BRING LARGE GROUPS OF PEOPLE
BACK ARC THE APPEAL IS HUGE,
FROM MINES TO AUTOMAKERS AND
SCHOOLS, HUNDREDS OF CALLS ARE
POURINGOR POURING IN.
>> SO IS THE THINKING THAT MOST
COMPANIES WOULD USE THIS DAILY,
WEEKLY?
HOW OFTEN WOULD THEY TEST
PEOPLE?
>> THERE'S NO TIME FACTOR ON
THIS.
DEPENDS ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS,
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE, RISK
FACTORS, THE BASIC ANSWER THAT
THE BASELINE TODAY IS ZERO
TESTING.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE STARTING
FROM.
SO ANY TESTING IN THE WORKPLACE
FOR THE VIRUS IT IS, NOT TAKING
THE TEMPERATURE, BUT REALLY
TESTING FOR THE VIRUS IS AN
IMPROVEMENT OVER THE CURRENT
SITUATION.
>> Reporter: AS FOR THOSE
FIRST SIDEWALKS CHECKED IN RAINY
RIVER, THE RESULTS ARE BACK FAST
AND THEY'RE ALL NEGATIVE.
AND WHILE THIS IS JUST THE
START, THE HOPE IS THAT
EVENTUALLY EVERY NEW CREW GETS
TESTED AT THE BEGINNING OF AFTER
14 DAY ROTATION.
>> THAT'S THE PRIORITY NUMBER
ONE, IS YOUR PEOPLE.
IT'S EVERYTHING.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A HEALTHY
WORKFORCE, OR HEALTHY COMMUNITY,
YOU CAN HAVE THE BEST MINE IN
THE WORLD, IT WOULD NEVER WORK,
RIGHTING?
WHEN YOU BRING SOMETHING NEW
LIKE THIS, YOU DO IT ONLY FOR
ONE REASON, IS WHAT DOES THAT
DO, WHAT DOES THAT MOVE THE
NEEDLE?
BECAUSE IT'S A LOT OF EFFORT AND
A LOT OF TIME, AND ENGAGEMENT OF
A LOT OF PEOPLE TO DO THIS.
SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A REASON, A
COMMON REASON TO DO IT.
>> IT'S TOO EARLY TO TELL WHAT
DIFFERENCE THE TEST WILL MAKE
HERE.
THERE ARE ALREADY SO MANY
PRECAUTIONS, FROM REGULAR
DISINFECTION OF SHARED SPACES
LIKE THE CAFETERIA AND KEEPING
NUMBERS LOW IN SLEEPING QUARTERS
TO ALLOW FOR SAFE DISTANCE SAG.
SOME WORK IS DONE IN PAIRS, BUT
THIS IS AN OPEN PIT MINE, AND
THERE ARE FEW CLOSE ENCOUNTERS.
>> SO WHY TAKE THE STEP FURTHER
THEN IF, IF YOU COULD MANAGE THE
RISK?
>> BECAUSE IT TAKES ONLY ONE
PERSON.
AND IT REALLY -- THAT'S REALLY
THE RISK HERE.
AND IT WOULD TAKE ONE PERSON TO
INFECT MULTIPLE OTHERS AND IF WE
CAN DO ANYTHING TO CATCH THAT
CASE ON TIME AND PROTECT OTHERS,
WE'LL DO IT.
>> Reporter: AND WHILE THE
PANDEMIC UNFOLDS, A QUICK TEST
CAN MEAN ONE SURE THING IN THE
MOVE TOWARD WHAT IS STILL AN
UNCERTAIN FUTURE.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN GOER ABOUT HOW

>> I FOUND THIS BOX ABOUT FOUR
YEARS AFTER MY GRANDMOTHER DIED.
AND THEN THERE IS ABOUT -- I
DON'T KNOW, PROBABLY ABOUT 200
GARMENTS, PAPER APARTMENTS, ALL
MADE OF BROWN CRAFT PAPER, MY
GRANDMOTHER WAS LIVING IN SLOCAN
CITY WHERE SHE WAS
IN-INTERPRETED AS A JAPANESE
CANADIAN.
SO SHE WAS CLEARLY MAKING
CLOTHES FOR OTHER PEOPLE THAT
SHE WAS INTERNED WITH.
I LEARNED HOW TO READ MY
GRANDMOTHER'S PATTERNS.
I USED ONE OF HER GARMENTS AND I
RAN IT THROUGH THE PRESS, I WAS
ABLE TO CAPTURE THE IMPRESSION
OF THIS GARMENT AND USING THE
PAPER FROM KIND OF THE AREA
SURROUNDING THAT DRESS, I
CONSTRUCTED THESE OTHER THREE
GARMENTS.
THIS PIECE REALLY IS A BRIDGE
BETWEEN MY WORK AND MY
GRANDMOTHER'S WORK, AND IT
ALLOWED ME KIND OF AN ENTRYWAY
TO START TALKING ABOUT THIS
POINT IN HISTORY.
♪
>> I WAS REALLY DRAWN DOT IDEA
OF WORKING WITH THE TRADITIONAL
WRAPPING TECHNIQUES CALLED
FROSHIKI WHERE YOU CAN TAKE A
PIECE OF CLOTH OR PAPER AND WRAP
UP YOUR LUNCH, OR A GIFT.
I FOUND PHOTO ALBUMS OF MY
GRANDPARENTS AND I SCANNED IN
THIS AMAZING ARCHIVE OF IMAGES
AND CREATED PHOTO ETCHING OF ALL
THOSE PHOTOGRAPHS AND THEN I
PRINTED THE PHOTO ETCHING ON THE
HANDMADE PAPER AND THEN I TAKE
ONE OF THESE, IT'S KIND OF A
MOULD OF SAND, PUT IT INSIDE THE
PAPER, THE DAMP PAPER WITH THE
PRINT ON IT AND I WRAPAROUND IT,
AND THEN I TIE EVERYTHING UP,
AND ONCE EVERYTHING'S TIED UP
THEN I JUST LET IT DRY.
I'VE CUT A HOLE HERE AND THEN I
DRAIN OUT ALL OF THE SAND, AND
IN THIS WAY, THESE ARE ALL
ENTIRELY HOLLOW.
THEY LOOK AND HE HAVE THAT
ILLUSION OF WEIGHT IS THERE.
THEY HAVE KIND OF THAT

FIRST, JUSTIN, REMIND US, HOW
DID WE GET HERE?

FAR, WE'VE GONE FROM 192
NEIGHBOURHOODS FROM ACROSS
VANCOUVER TO JUST EIGHT, THE TWO
FINALISTS IN VANCOUVER TODAY
FACING OFF.
HOW THEY GOT HERE?
WEST END THE WINNER OF THE WEST
SIDE OF THE CITY TIMES, DEFEAT
SOUTH FALSE CREEK AND THEN NORTH
KITSILANO AND ARBUTUS TO GET
HERE.
NO SURPRISE WHY, OF COURSE, WITH
BEAUTIFUL BEACHES, AND
AFFORDABLE RENTAL APARTMENTS
EVERYWHERE.
BUT AS FOR MOUNT PLEASANT, IT
DEFEATED STRATHCONA.
IT DEFEATED OLYMPIC VILLAGE AND
GAS DOWN TO GET HERE, A LOT OF
HEAVY HITTERS AS WELL, AND ALL
THEIR VICTORIES BY BLOWOUT SO A
LOT OF QUESTIONS WHO WOULD WIN
TODAY.
SO FAR 51% OF THE VOTE FOR MOUNT
PLEASANT, 49% OF THE VOTE FOR
WEST END, THOUSANDS OF VOTES IN
SO FAR TODAY.
TRULY ANYONE'S BALLGAME STILL.
>> OKAY THEN, SO HOW DO THE LAST
TWO STANDING COMPETITORS IN
VANCOUVER MEASURE UP?
>> YES, IT'S INTERESTING, YOU
KNOW, OF THE 48 NEIGHBOURHOODS
IN VANCOUVER THAT WE STARTED
AFTER WITH, THESE ARE TWO THAT
ARE THE MOST AFFORDABLE WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THE MEDIAN INCOME OF
DIFFERENT PLACES.
THEY'RE TWO OF THE ONES WITH THE
SMALLEST NUMBER OF AVERAGE
PEOPLE IN HOUSEHOLDS, MOSTLY DUE
TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SO
MANY APARTMENTS WITH JUST ONE OR
TWO BEDROOMS.
AND IT MATCHES UP INTERESTINGLY
AGAINST THE SIX OTHER REMAINING
NEIGHBOURHOODS IN THE REST OF
METRO VANCOUVER, MOST OF THOSE
ARE MUCH RICHER, MUCH MORE
SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBOURHOODS,
AND MUCH MORE WHITE AS WELL,
WINNER OF THIS MATCHUP TODAY
FACES THE WINNER OF FORT LANGLEY
VERSUS CRESCENT BEACH SOUTH OF
THE FRASER TOMORROW.
THOSE TWO WILL BE IN THE FINAL
FOUR NEXT WEEK.

WE'LL HAVE A FIST FIGHT UNTIL
THE END.
>> FIGURED THIS WOULD PLAY OUT
THIS WAY.
>> Mike: ALL RIGHT, AMY,
WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE.
>> WE HAD THE FIRE DANGER BUT I
THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A BRACKET
RATING INSTEAD.
WE'RE IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST
WITH SOME VERY LOW AREAS AND
JUST THE AREA I'M CONCERNED
ABOUT IS WHERE WE HAVE THE
MODERATE AND A FEW HIGH SPOTS
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO SEE
COOLER TEMPERATURES COMING IN
FOR THE PROFFER BUT THAT MEANS
WE'RE SEEING UNSETTLED AIR SO A
RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
B.C. PEACE AND THE CENTRAL
INTERIOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND
INTO THE EVENING, SO FOR THE
NEXT 24 HOURS, WE'LL HAVE TO
KEEP A LOOK AT THE LIGHTNING
STRIKES AND HOPEFULLY WE WOKEN
BE DEALING WITH ANY MORE FIRES
BUT WE'RE IN REMARKABLY GOOD
SHAPE FOR MUCH OF THE PROVINCE
SO BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU'RE OUT
THERE.
AS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS, WE
HAVE SO CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION
IN THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE
PROVINCE AND IN THE PEACE AND
THE CENTRAL INTERIOR WE COULD
SEE SOME SHOWERS, AND THEN A
RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS.
MANY AREAS, THOUGH, DEALING WITH
SOME HIGHER CLOUDS IN THE
MORNING AND THEN WE'LL SEE
THINGS BRIGHTENING UP IN THE
AFTERNOON, MUCH AS WE SAW TODAY
FOR METRO VANCOUVER BUT BIG
CHANGE TOMORROW IT WILL BE
SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER.
WE'LL COOL DOWN BY 45 OR 6º FOR
MOST AREAS SO WE'LL SEE THAT
TREND FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS.
WE'RE KEEPING THE SUNSHINE BUT
WE'RE NOT KEEPING THE HEAT AND
WE WERE ALREADY BELOW SEASONAL
AVERAGE BY A DEGREE OR TWO
FOREIGN MANY TIMES THIS SUMMER.
IN TOFINO, 19º AND OVER INTO THE
FRASER VALLEY, HOPE, A HIGH OF
22 SO NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE IN
THAT SPAN.
IT WILL BE BREEZY NEAR THE
WATER, AS I MENTIONED AROUND
PRINCE GEORGE WE COULD SEE
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING STRIKES
KAMLOOPS WILL GIVE US SOME
SHOWERS AND KELOWNA AT ABOUT 27º
AND CRANBROOK AT 29.
SO IT'S NOT COOL IN ALL AREAS
BUT DEFINITELY SEEING A LITTLE
OF THAT HEAT.
IT WON'T LAST.
WE'LL SEE THINGS WARM UP AS WE
GET INTO THE NEXT WEATHER
PATTERN WHICH THIS RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL SET UP JUST IN
TIME FOR NEXT WEEKEND.
FOR TOMORROW, A HIGH OF 21, THEN
20 FOR WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY,
WE'RE WARMING UP A LITTLE BIT ON
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WE'LL SEE A
HIGH OF 25 BUT I THINK IT COULD
BE WARMER INLAND AND SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY LOOK TO BE HEATING UP
INTO THE HIGH 20S.
IF YOU LIKE IT A LITTLE MORE
COMFORTABLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE
EVENING, THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS
ARE FOR YOU BUT THE UV INDEX
WILL BE HIGH SO KEEP THE
SUNSCREEN LANDY.
FLICK 3.

THE SOUND OF APPLAUSE AND
CACOPHONY OF POT AND PANS
RIPPLING ACROSS FALSE CREEK I
SAT DOWN ON THE GRASS AND CRIED.
WE FLOCKED TO THE FRONT OF
GENERAL HOSPITAL TO RECIPROCATE
THE CHEER, MANY OF US FOGGING UP
OUR GOINGLINGS, THE
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF STRESS AND
EFFORTS WAS A REAVE OF VALUE
DETAILS THAT FULLY STRENGTHENED
OUR RESOLVE.
♪
>> HOSPITALS HAVE ALWAYS FELT
LIKE HOME TO ME.
MY PARENT BOTH WORKED AS CASE
WORKERS IN CHILD PSYCHIATRY AT
THE JEWISH GENERAL HOSPITAL IN
MONTREAL.
ON DAYS OFF FROM SCHOOL, I
ENJOYED PARTICIPATING IN ART
THERAPY GROUPS LED BY MY FATHER,
AND LATER MY FAMILY AND I WERE
CONSTANT VISITORS WHEN MY DAD
BECAME A CANCER PATIENT.
I'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT
HEALTH CARE DOES NOT SERVE THE
POPULATION EQUALLY THAT MANY
PEOPLE DO NOT RECEIVE THE CARE
THEY NEED AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF
MY PRIVILEGE AND MY FAMILY'S
STORY THAT THE FREQUENT ALARMS
AND THE FAMILIAR PALLIATIVE OF
THE HOSPITAL ARE ACTUALLY
ACTUALLY SYMBOLS OF SAFETY TO
ME.
AS AN E.R. NURSE I TRY TO BRING
MY OWN SENSE OF SAFETY TO MY
INTERACTIONS WITH PATIENTS AND
FAMILIES IN CRISIS.
THROWS OF US WOULDOR WHO WORK IN
THE EMERGENCY ROOM STAY CALM
THROUGH THEAC OF PROVIDING CARE.
WE START I.V.S, CUT OFF CLOTHES,
MAKE EYE CONTACT, BEFORE WHETHER
THE FIRST WAVE OF COVID-19
ARRIVED IN VANCOUVER IT
UNDERMINED THE SAFETY OF OUR IS
BEING SYSTEM AND THE HOSPITAL.
WE STARTED WEARING PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT DURING ALL
PATIENT CONTACT.
IT'S VERY CHALLENGING TO
COMMUNICATE SAFETY THROUGH A
MASK AND GOGGLES WITHOUT FAMILY
MEMBERS PRESENT, SO MUCH
EMPHASIS ON INFECTION CONTROL.
WE RETRAINED OUR BRAINS TO
PRIORITIZE PERSONAL PROTECTION
BEFORE JUMPING INTO ATTEND TO
THE EMERGENT NEEDS OF OUR
PATIENTS, AND SUDDENLY THE
HOSPITAL DID NOT FEEL SO SAFE.
I WAS CONSUMED BY FEAR OF
TRANSMITTING THE VIRUS INTEREST
PATIENTS TO LOVED ONES AND VICE
VERSA.
IT'S REALLY LARD FOR ME TONNAGE
DOING WHAT NURSES AROUND THE
WORLD HAVE BEEN DOING FOR MONTH
NOW AND THAT IS PROVIDING CARE
WITHOUT PROPER P.P.E., KNOWING
THAT YOUR VULNERABILITY TO THE
VIRUS WILL PUT OTHERS IN DANGER.
WATCHING PEOPLE DYING IN
HORRIFYING NUMBERS, WATCHING
COWORKERS DIE FROM COVID-19.
THE SO-CALLED FRONT LINERS ARE
ASSUMING RISKS WELL BEYOND WHAT
THEY INITIALLY SIGNED UP FOR AND
WELL BEYOND WHAT THEY ARE
COMPENSATED FOR.
I'M SCARED OF CALLING PEOPLE
HEROES WITH THE ASSUMPTION THEY
WILL BRAVE ACCEPT THE RISK NOW
ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR JOBS.
I'M SCARED OF THE PRESSURE THAT
WE'RE PUTTING ON ESSENTIAL
WORKERS TO OVERCOME THEIR FEARS
THROUGH OUR CHOICE OF LANGUAGE
AND THE STORIES WE ARE TELLING.
HERE IN VANCOUVER; THOSE OF US
WORKING IN HIGH RISK AREAS HAVE
EXPERIENCED MEASURED RELIEF AS
THEY WATCH THE NUMBERS DONE, AS
NEW PROTOCOLS SEEM TO
EFFECTIVELY CONTROL TRANSMISSION
WITHIN HOSPITALS.
WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO MAKE
LIGHT OF THE FASHION
OPPORTUNITIES BORNE OUT OF THE
PANDEMIC AND TO ENJOY SOLIDARITY
AND PIZZAOR PIZZA AMONG THE
STAFF.
OUR TEAM HAS BEEN STRENGTHENED
BY OUR COLLECTIVE RESOLVE TO
PROTECT ONE ANOTHER AND OUR
PATIENTS.
AND WE HAVE LEARNED TO WORK
TOGETHER IN NEW AND EXCITING
WAYS.
COVID-19 HAS HIGHLIGHTED A LOT
OF HOLES AND INEQUITIES IN OUR
SYSTEM.
IT HAS ALSO TAUGHT A LOT OF US
ON THE FRONT LINE ABOUT THE
IMPACT A THREAT TO PERSONAL
SAFETY HAS ON ONE'S ABILITY TO
FUNCTION.
FEELING LIKE I AM OCCASIONED FOR
BY MY TEAM, BY THE PUBLIC, AND
BY MY COMMUNITY, MADE ME WANT TO
CARE FOR OTHERS MORE THAN EVER
BEFORE.
