 
LIVE IN STUDIO WITH MORE.
HOW LARGE IS THIS FIRE WE'RE 
TALKING ABOUT?
>> IT'S CALLED THE CHRISTIE 
MOUNTAIN WILDFIRE.
IT'S ESTIMATED AT LEAST 10 
HECTARES AND ZERO PERCENT 
CONTAINED.
IT'S BURNING ON THE EAST SIDE OF
SKAHA LAKE SOUTH OF PENTICTON 
NEAR OKANAGAN FALLS.
THE REGIONAL DISTRICT OF 
OKANAGAN SIMILKAMEEN HAS ISSUED 
AN EVACUATION ORDER IN HERITAGE 
HILLS.
AIR TANKERS ARE HITTING THE FIRE
WITH RETARDANT AND WILDFIRE 
STAFF ARE ON SITE AS WELL.
IT'S NOT YET CLEAR WHAT SPARKED 
THIS FIRE, BUT IT HAS GROWN 
QUICKLY.
IT HAS BEEN A VERY HOT DAY IN 
THE OKANAGAN AND AT LEAST THE 
LOW TO MID 30s.
AGAIN, A FIRE BURNING EAST OF 
SKAHA LAKE SOUTH OF PENTICTON 
AND THIS SMOKE IS VISIBLE 
THROUGHOUT THE OKANAGAN AND HAS 
PROMPTED LOCAL OFFICIALS TO 
ORDER PEOPLE TO LEAVE.
THEY'RE ASKING EVACUEES TO 
REGISTER AT 199 ELLIS STREET IN 
PENTICTON.
PENTICTON'S FIRE CHIEF TWEETED 
OUT THEY'RE SETTING UP 
PROTECTIONS AGAINST THIS BLAZE 
AND WE'LL HAVE MUCH MORE ON THE 
STORY AS IT HAPPENS DURING THE 6
O'CLOCK NEWSCAST AND TONIGHT AT 
11.
LIEN, MIKE?
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT.
LET'S GO TO JOHANNA WAGSTAFFE.
SHE HAS BEEN WATCHING THIS VERY 
CLOSELY.
SO, JO, WHAT'S THE SITUATION OUT
THERE?
HOW DO YOU FORESEE THIS 
DEVELOPING?
>> SO WINDS HAVE BEEN A BIG PART
OF THIS STORY ALONG WITH 
LIGHTNING STRIKES OVER THE PAST 
48 HOURS.
WE HAVE HAD HUNDREDS OF 
LIGHTNING STRIKES THAT HAVE 
SPARKED UP 97 NEW FIRES ACROSS 
THE PROVINCE, MOST OF THE 
LIGHTNING STRIKES LAST NIGHT, 
AGAIN, IT HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED
THE CAUSE OF THE NEW FIRE, BUT 
LIGHTNING LAST NIGHT IS A STRONG
POSSIBILITY.
I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO THE MAP 
BECAUSE A FRONT HAS JUST PASSED 
THROUGH THE REGION.
IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY LIGHTNING OR 
RAIN WITH IT, BUT IT HAD VERY 
GUSTY WINDS.
SO YOU CAN SEE I PUT THE FIRE 
JUST TO THE EAST OF PENTICTON.
I SET THE SATELLITE AND RADAR 
BACK TWELVE HOURS.
WINDS WERE GUSTING FROM THE 
SOUTH SOUTHEAST UNTIL 2 p.m..
THEN THEY PICKED UP TO ABOUT 30 
TO 40km/h AND THAT'S WHAT REALLY
EXPLODED THE FIRE.
WINDS HAVE SHIFTED BEHIND THE 
FRONT IN THE PAST HOUR, SO THAT 
SHIFTING IS CAUSING ERRATIC FIRE
BEHAVIOUR.
THE FIRES ARE STARTING TO SPOT 
ACROSS HIGHWAY 33 AND HEADING UP
A STEEP BUT DRY PLAIN.
WATCHING THE STORY CLOSELY AS 
THE WINDS HAVE SHIFTED AND THAT 
SAME FRONT SPARKING UP A FIRE 
SOUTH OF THE BORDER, SOUTH OF 
OSOYOOS, WE'RE WATCHING THAT 
CLOSELY BECAUSE IT IS GROWING 
QUICKLY AND HEADED TOWARDS THE 
CANADIAN BORDER.
SO A VERY ACTIVE NIGHT.
YOU CAN SEE THIS BIG PICTURE, 
THIS IS A LIVE LIGHTNING P 
DETECTOR AND THINGS ARE STILL 
FIRING UP IN PLACES WHERE FIRE 
DANGER IS HIGH TO EXTREME RIGHT 
NOW, AND WE ARE NOT TALKING 
ABOUT ANY RAIN IN THE FORECAST 
UNTIL THURSDAY.
SO IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY 
ACTIVE AND UNFORTUNATELY NEXT 24
HOURS.
>> ALL RIGHT, THANKS VERY MUCH.
TALK TO YOU AGAIN IN A BIT.
>> Announcer: THE WEATHER UPDATE
IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY FORTIS BC.
USING MORE ENERGY THESE DAYS, WE
HAVE ENERGY SAVING TIPS, EASY 
UPGRADES, HOW-TO VIDEOS AND 
MORE.
>> THE BIGGEST SCHOOL DISTRICT 
IN OUR PROVINCE IS REVEALING 
WHAT CLASSES WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN
SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS RETURN
NEXT MONTH.
>> THERE WILL BE A HYBRID MODEL 
OF ONLINE AND INCLASS SCHOOLS IN
SURREY.
>> SOME ASPECTS STILL HAVE 
PARENTS AND TEACHERS CONCERNED.
>> Reporter: CLASSES WON'T LOOK 
ANYTHING LIKE THEY DID AT THIS 
TIME LAST YEAR IN SURREY.
SECONDARY STUDENTS WILL BE 
BROKEN UP INTO LEARNING GROUPS 
OF EITHER 30 OR 60, WELL BELOW 
THE PROVINCE'S GUIDELINE OF 120.
THE SURREY TEACHERS ASSOCIATION 
APPLAUDS THE DISTRICT FOR GOING 
ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT'S REQUIRED
BUT THERE ARE STILL CONCERNS 
ABOUT HAVING DOZENS OF CHILDREN 
IN CLASSROOMS THAT AREN'T BIG 
ENOUGH FOR PHYSICAL DISTANCING.
>> WE'RE HEARING FROM A LOT MUCH
TEACHERS, HIGH NUMBERS REPORT 
FEELING EITHER HIGHLY ANXIOUS OR
ANXIOUS ABOUT HOW SAFE IT WILL 
BE GOING BACK.
THERE'S A VERY HIGH LEVEL OF 
CONCERN AND THAT'S BECAUSE THEY 
KNOW THE REALITY IN THEIR 
CLASSROOM AND HOW DENSELY PACKED
THEY ARE.
>> Reporter: STUDENTS WILL TAKE 
TWO COURSES AT A TIME FOR TEN 
WEEKS.
ONE IN THE MORNING AND ONE IN 
THE AFTERNOON.
THERE WILL BE A MIX OF ONLINE 
AND IN CLASS LEARNING WHICH WAS 
ONE OF THE MAIN QUESTIONS 
PARENTS HAVE HAD GOING INTO THE 
SCHOOL YEAR.
>> IT WASN'T VERY CLEAR, SO WE 
HAD A LOT OF PARENTS PANICKING 
AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT, OUR 
DISTRICT IS DOING EXACTLY THAT.
THEY'RE ACCOMMODATING OUR 
STUDENTS WITH REMOTE CLASS, AND 
AS WELL AS IN-CLASS TIME IN THE 
SCHOOLS.
>> Reporter: TO AVOID CROWDING, 
LUNCH TIMES, START TIMES, AND 
BREAK TIMES WILL BE STAGGERED.
STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO 
WEAR MASKS IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS
LIKE HALLWAYS AND THERE WILL BE 
MOVING LINES AND DIRECTIONS LIKE
YOU SEE AT STORES.
THE SURREY TA APPRECIATES THOSE 
MEASURES BUT STILL, QUESTIONS 
REMAIN ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN 
INSIDE THE CLASSROOM.
>> I CAN'T THINK OF ANY OTHER 
PLACE WHERE WE WOULD FEEL 
COMFORTABLE HAVING THAT MANY 
PEOPLE CRUNCHED IN TO SUCH A 
SMALL STATE.
>> Reporter: THE PROVINCE STILL 
HAS TO SIGN OFF ON SURREY'S 
PLAN.
THE DISTRICT IS TO RELEASE ITS 
PLAN FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS IN 
THE NEAR FUTURE.
JESSE JOHNSTON, CBC NEWS, 
SURREY.
>> Mike: ANOTHER RECORD-SETTING 
DAY IN BC's PANDEMIC RESPONSE AS
ACTIVE CASES ARE UP NOW TO 775.
BC IS ANNOUNCING 83 NEW CASES 
AND THERE ARE NOW MORE THAN 2300
PEOPLE SELF-ISOLATING FOLLOWING 
EXPOSURES.
THE GOOD NEWS, NO NEW DEATHS IN 
THE PAST 24 HOURS, SO BC's TOTAL
REMAINS THE SAME.
THE NUMBER OF HOSPITALIZATIONS 
HAS RISEN SLIGHTLY TO SIX.
THERE ARE STILL THREE PATIENTS 
IN INTENSIVE CARE.
>> NOW, THAT SURGE IN CASES IS A
BIG CONCERN FOR HEALTH OFFICIALS
WITH THE PROVINCE MOVING TO ONCE
AGAIN EXTEND ITS STATE OF 
EMERGENCY.
>> AS BRIAR STEWART TELLS US, 
HEALTH AUTHORITIES ARE 
SCRAMBLING TO STAY ON TOP OF A 
NEW CLUSTER AND AVOID NEW 
LOCKDOWNS.
>> Reporter: EVEN BEFORE THE 
TESTING CENTRE OPENED, CARS 
TRYING TO BE AMONG THE FIRST IN 
LINE.
>> YOU CAN'T STOP SO YOU HAVE TO
KEEP MOVING.
>> Reporter: WHEN IT OPENED, IT 
DIDN'T TAKE LONG.
PEOPLE WERE TOLD TO COME BACK 
LATER.
>> BRING IT BACK AT 1:30.
>> Reporter: OVER THE WEEKEND, 
MORE THAN 10,000 PEOPLE WERE 
TESTED IN BC AND THE PROVINCE 
NOW HAS ITS HIGHEST COUNT EVER 
FOR ACTIVE COVID-19 INFECTIONS.
>> I DON'T THINK WE EXPECTED 
QUITE THIS RATE OF GROWTH AND 
THIS DISDAIN.
>> Reporter: THIS EPIDEMIOLOGIST
SAYS EVEN THOUGH 
HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE DOWN, THE 
INCREASE IS CONCERNING.
>> I THINK THERE'S A RISK TO 
ALLOW IT TO BUILD UP IN THE 
POPULATION.
THEY WON'T STAY IN YOUNG PEOPLE 
FOREVER.
EVENTUALLY, SOMEBODY KNOWS 
SOMEBODY.
>> Reporter: A FEW BARS HAVE 
BEEN CLOSED AFTER BEING 
CONNECTED TO COVID CASES AND 
PUBLIC HEALTH HAS STEPPED UP 
INSPECTIONS OF BANQUET HALLS.
WHILE OFFICIALS SAY MOST 
BUSINESSES ARE COMPLYING WITH 
THE RULES, STRONGER ENFORCEMENT 
IS ON THE WAY TO DEAL WITH THOSE
LETTING THEIR GUARD DOWN.
>> I FIRSTHAND KNOW HOW PEOPLE 
ARE RESPONDING AND I DON'T 
REALLY THINK, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE 
NOT BEING SMART ABOUT IT OR SAFE
ABOUT IT.
>> Reporter: AND THE TIMING IS 
PARTICULARLY WORRYING FOR 
PARENTS GIVEN THAT SCHOOL IS 
STARTING SOON.
>> I WOULD SAY UNSAFE FOR MY 
FAMILY.
>> Reporter: EDMOND LUKE 
LAUNCHED A PETITION URGING THE 
GOVERNMENT TO MAKE IN-PERSON 
CLASSES VOLUNTARY AND ASKING FOR
ONLINE EDUCATION.
MORE THAN 35,000 HAVE SIGNED ON.
>> THE START OF THE SCHOOL IS 
RIGHT AFTER A LONG WEEKEND, AND 
MANY OF THE CASES NOW THAT YOU 
SEE ARE ALSO A PRODUCT, A RESULT
OF LONG WEEKENDS IN AUGUST.
>> Reporter: SO THE QUESTION 
REMAINS HOW BUSY WILL THESE 
TESTING LINEUPS BE COME 
SEPTEMBER.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> AND ACCORDING TO JOHNS 
HOPKINS UNIVERSITY IN THE U.S., 
THE GLOBAL TOTAL OF CONFIRMED 
CORONAVIRUS CASES IS NOW ALMOST 
AT 22 MILLION.
>> ALMOST 776,000 PEOPLE HAVE 
DIED FROM COVID-19 WHILE 13.9 
MILLION HAVE RECOVERED.
HERE'S A LOOK AT WHAT'S 
HAPPENING WITH THE DEADLY VIRUS 
AROUND THE WORLD.
HEALTH OFFICIALS IN SOUTH KOREA 
SAY THEY'VE FOUND 457 COVID 
CASES LINKED TO A HUGE CHURCH IN
SEOUL.
IT'S LED BY A BITTER CRITIC OF 
THE COUNTRY'S PRESIDENT DRIVING 
AN ALARMING SURGE OF INFECTIONS 
IN THE GREATER CAPITAL AREA.
AUSTRALIA RECORDED ITS LOWEST 
ONE-DAY RISE IN NEW INFECTIONS 
IN A MONTH TODAY.
IT'S BELIEVED A STRICT LOCKDOWN 
IN THE COUNTRY'S SECOND MOST 
P
POPULOUS STATE.
NEW ZEALAND IS RULING OUT THAT 
THE LATEST OUTBREAK CAME FROM 
FROZEN FOOD ITEMS OR FREIGHT.
INDIA IS REPORTING MORE THAN 
55,000 NEW CASES TUESDAY PUTTING
ITS TOTAL VIRUS CASELOAD PAST 
2.7 MILLION.
INDIA HAS THE THIRD MOST CASES 
BEHIND THE UNITED STATES AND 
BRAZIL.
IT ALSO HAS THE FOURTH MOST 
DEATHS.
VENEZUELA'S RATES OF INFECTION 
OF COVID-19 IS SET TO OVERWHELM 
ITS TESTING CAPACITY, LIKELY 
LEADING TO AN ARTIFICIAL 
FLATTENING OF THE CONTAGION 
CURVE.
VENEZUELA HAS REGISTERED ALMOST 
281 DEATHS.
THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT PLANS TO 
MAKE WEARING A MASK COMPULSORY 
IN THE VAST MAJORITY OF 
WORKPLACES FROM SEPTEMBER 1st TO
TRY TO STOP A RESURGENCE OF THE 
PANDEMIC.
SOUTH AFRICA WHICH HAD ONE OF 
THE WORLD'S STRICTEST 
ANTI-CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWNS FOR 
FIVE MONTHS RELAXED ITS 
RESTRICTIONS TODAY.
IT'S NOW ALLOWING SALES OF 
ALCOHOL AND CIGARETTES IN 
RESPONSE TO A DECREASING NUMBER 
OF CASES AND HOSPITALIZATIONS.
>>> CLOSER TO HOME, WASHINGTON 
STATE REPORTING 576 NEW CASES 
AND 15 DEATHS OVER THE WEEKEND.
THE STATE'S TOTAL NUMBER OF 
CASES IS NOW AT MORE THAN 67,000
COMPARED TO ALMOST 4600 HERE IN 
BC.
AND NEXT DOOR IN ALBERTA, 89 NEW
CASES ARE BEING REPORTED TODAY 
AND ONE NEW DEATH.
THE EDMONTON ZONE NOW ACCOUNTS 
FOR MORE THAN HALF THE COVID-19 
CASES IN THAT PROVINCE.
>> AND AS WE INCH CLOSER TO 
BACK-TO-SCHOOL, MANY PARENTS ARE
WONDERING HOW THEY CAN GET THEIR
KIDS TESTED IF THEY DEVELOP 
SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19.
>> THE INFORMATION IS SUPPOSED 
TO BE SIMPLE AND 
STRAIGHTFORWARD, BUT AS TINA 
LOVGREEN REPORTS, SOME PARENTS 
SEEM TO BE GETTING CONFLICTING 
INSTRUCTIONS.
>> DO YOU HAVE A FEVER TODAY?
>> NO.
>> Reporter: BUT ON MONDAY, 
5-YEAR-OLD SASA HAD A FEVER AND 
A COUGH.
SO THEY CALLED HEALTH LINK BC TO
SEE HOW SHE COULD GET TESTED FOR
COVID-19.
>> WE GOT A CALL BACK ABOUT FOUR
HOURS LATER AND THEY SAID, YES, 
YOU NEED TO GO FOR A TEST.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE SHE'S OVER AGE,
SHE NEEDS TO SEE A PEDIATRICIAN 
AND THAT IN PENTICTON, THERE'S 
ONLY ONE CLINIC DOING IT AND 
THEY'RE ONLY DOING IT HALF DAYS.
>> Reporter: THAT MEANS WAITING 
SEVERAL DAYS FOR A TEST AND NO 
DAYCARE FOR SASA.
THEY REQUIRE A NEGATIVE TEST 
RESULT.
>> SO COULD BE LOOKING AT A 
FIVE-DAY TURNAROUND TO GET A 
TEST.
>> Reporter: CBC NEWS REACHED 
OUTS TO INTERIOR HEALTH.
IT SAYS THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT 
THAT CHILDREN OF ANY AGE SEE A 
PEDIATRICIAN FOR ASSESSMENT 
BEFORE TESTING.
>> ANY TESTING LOCATION CAN TEST
KIDS, AND SO YOU DON'T NEED TO 
SEE A PEDIATRICIAN.
YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE YOUR 
FAMILY DOCTOR FOR THAT.
IT'S BASICALLY GOING TO THE 
TESTING SITE AND FINDING OUT IF 
YOU ARE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.
THAT'S SEPARATE THAN IF YOU 
THINK YOUR CHILD IS SICK WITH 
DISEASE THAT NEEDS TO SEE A 
DOCTOR OR A PEDIATRICIAN OR AN 
EMERGENCY ROOM.
>> Reporter: BUT GETTING KIDS 
TESTED MAY BE CHALLENGING IN 
OTHER WAYS.
>> HOLDING DOWN A 4 OR 
5-YEAR-OLD TO GET A SWAB IN 
THEIR NOSE MAY REQUIRE 
EXPLANATIONS UP FRONT, BUT FROM 
OUR EXPERIENCE, MOST KIDS, IF 
YOU EXPLAIN WHY THEY'RE DOING 
IT, THEN THEY TYPICALLY TOLERATE
IT.
MOST KIDS KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING 
IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW AND 
UNDERSTAND WHY THEY'RE BEING 
TESTED.
>> Reporter: AND TO HELP 
PARENTS, BC CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL 
CREATED THIS VIDEO.
>> YOU PROBABLY KNOW THERE IS A 
VIRUS GOING AROUND RIGHT NOW 
CALLED COVID-19.
>> Reporter: TO MAKE IT EASIER 
TO EXPLAIN THE PROCESS AND GET 
KIDS COMFORTABLE.
AS FOR LEE AND HIS DAUGHTER?
>> YOU WANT TO BE BACK IN 
DAYCARE?
DO YOU MISS ANNIKA?
YEAH.
>> Reporter: CONFUSING 
INSTRUCTIONS KEEPING SASA AWAY 
FROM FRIENDS.
TINA LOVGREEN, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> THE FIRST NATIONS LEADERSHIP 
COUNCIL IS CALLING ON THE 
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE AN 
EMERGENCY ORDER TO CLOSE ALL 
SOCKEYE SALMON FISHERIES ON THE 
FRASER RIVER CITING A 
CATASTROPHIC DECLINE IN STOCKS 
OF THE FISH.
THE COUNCIL SAYS ABOUT 280,000 
SALMON ARE SET TO RETURN THIS 
YEAR, DOWN FROM OVER A MILLION 
TEN YEARS AGO.
IT SAYS SOME OF THE REASONS FOR 
THE RAPID DECLINE INCLUDE 
CLIMATE CHANGE, OPEN NET PEN 
FISH FARMING AMONG OTHERS.
THE COUNCIL SAYS SALMON ARE 
INTEGRAL BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE 
FOOD TO REMOTE COMMUNITIES.
IT ALSO SAYS IT'S BEEN ASKING 
OTTAWA TO SAVE STOCKS FOR 
DECADES AND IT'S TIME 
JURISDICTION OVER SALMON TO BE 
TRANSFERRED BACK TO FIRST 
NATIONS.
THE DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES AND 
OCEANS CANADA WAS NOT AVAILABLE 
FOR COMMENT TODAY.
>> ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE ARE
NOW INVESTIGATING ACTIONS TAKEN 
BY TOP RCMP BRASS FOLLOWING 
ROBERT DZIEKANSKI'S DEATH IN 
2007.
DZIEKANSKI DIED AFTER BEING 
TASERED BY RCMP OFFICERS AT YVR.
AFTER A LENGTHY INVESTIGATION, 
TWO OFFICERS WERE FOUND GUILTY 
OF PERJURY, TWO WERE ACQUITTED.
THE OFFICERS CLAIM THEY WERE 
SCAPEGOATED BY RCMP BRASS AND 
THAT SENIOR RCMP MEMBERS 
WITHHELD KEY DOCUMENTS AND 
FAILED TO SUPPORT THEM.
NOW ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE 
ARE INVESTIGATING WHETHER 
ACTIONS BY TOP RCMP BRASS 
AMOUNTS TO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.
THERE'S NO TIMELINE ON WHEN THE 
OPP WILL PRESENT ITS FINDINGS.
>> ORGANIZERS OF THE PNE SAY THE
FUTURE OF THE FAIR IS AT RISK 
WITHOUT EMERGENCY FEDERAL 
FUNDING.
BECAUSE THE FAIR IS OWNED BY THE
CITY OF VANCOUVER, 
MUNICIPALITIES ARE NOT ELIGIBLE 
FOR THE CANADIAN EMERGENCY WAGE 
SUBSIDY.
NORMALLY THE PNE SEES NEARLY $60
MILLION IN REVENUE, BUT THIS 
YEAR, THEY'RE LOOKING AT ONLY 8 
MILLION.
ACCORDING TO THE PRESIDENT, 
SHELLY FROST, THE LOSS IS 
DEVASTATING.
THE UNION OF 4,000 EMPLOYEES HAS
STARTED AN ONLINE SAFE THE PNE 
CAMPAIGN AND IS ASKING 
SUPPORTERS TO SIGN ON.
>> ONE OF OUR PROVINCE'S MOST 
DISTINGUISHED INDIGENOUS 
LEADERS, Dr. JOE GOSNELL, HAS 
DIED.
THE NISGA'A GOVERNMENT IN 
NORTHWESTERN BC SAYS GOSNELL 
DIED THIS MORNING AT HIS HOME.
HE WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE 
NISGA'A NATION WHEN HE SIGNED 
THE COUNTRY'S FIRST MODERN 
TREATY WITH THE FEDERAL AND 
PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS BACK IN 
THE YEAR 2000.
HE WAS AN OFFICER AND A 
COMPANION OF THE ORDER OF CANADA
AND A FORMER CHANCELLOR OF THE 
UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BC.
GOSNELL HAD BEEN BATTLING 
CANCER.
HE WAS 84 YEARS OLD.
>> QUITE THE MAN.

THIS WEEK, WE ARE PROFILING THE 
FINAL FOUR NEIGHBOURHOODS IN OUR
SUMMER-LONG SEARCH FOR THE BEST 
ONE IN METRO VANCOUVER.
>> YESTERDAY, WE BROUGHT YOU 
MOUNT PLEASANT.
AND TODAY, WE LOOK AT THE 
FINALIST FROM THE SOUTH OF THE 
FRASER.
>> IT'S ONE WITH A LONGER 
HISTORY THAN PRETTY MUCH ANY 
OTHER NEIGHBOURHOOD IN THE 
REGION.
>> Reporter: EVEN THE MOST 
MODERN AND TRENDIEST OF 
INDUSTRIES IN FORT LANGLEY 
PLAYED HOMAGE TO THE AREA'S 
HISTORY.
>> IT MADE SENSE WITH FORT 
LANGLEY AND THE HISTORY HERE.
>> Reporter: EVERYONE KNOWS 
ABOUT THE FORT, BUILT BY THE 
HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY AS THE 
FIRST EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT IN THE
LOWER MAINLAND.
BUT 170 YEARS LATER, IT'S THE 
TREE-LINED STREETS AND MIX OF 
SMALL BUSINESSES THAT MAKE IT 
LIVABLE FOR LOCALS.
>> IT'S A REALLY UNIQUE PLACE.
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE SOMEWHERE A
LITTLE MORE REMOTE.
>> Reporter: IT'S EASY TO SEE 
WHY FORT LANGLEY IS SO 
APPEALING.
AT A TIME WHEN SO MUCH OF METRO 
VANCOUVER IS GROWING, THE 
NEIGHBOURHOOD STAND INSIDE FOR 
RIVERDALE AND OTHER TOWNS ON 
FILM SETS WITH THE HERITAGE 
VIBE.
>> YOU GET BEAUTY, YOU GET 
HISTORY, YOU GET TO VISIT THE 
HISTORIC SITES AND THE MUSEUM 
AND YOU HAVE THE FORT TO FORT 
TRAIL AND YOU HAVE SO MANY 
BEAUTIFUL STORES AND 
RESTAURANTS.
>> Reporter: JASMINE MARK JOHN 
THAN MOVED HERE 28 YEARS AGO 
AFTER FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE 
TOWN IN A FIELD TRIP TO THE 
FORT.
>> I THINK IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT 
REALLY BELIEVE IN FORT LANGLEY 
THAT LOVE FORT LANGLEY, THAT 
KEEP IT FORT LANGLEY, AND THEY 
REALLY TRY TO NOT CHANGE IT TOO,
TOO MUCH AND I THINK THAT'S PART
OF THE BEAUTY AND THE ATTRACTION
OF IT.
>> WHETHER THAT STAYS THE SAME 
FOREVER IS UNKNOWN.
BUT IT WILL ALWAYS BE A PLACE 
WITH A FORT AND WITH A HEART.
JUSTIN McILROY, CBC NEWS, FORT 
LANGLEY.
>> I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE, 
THEY'RE BOTH VERY, VERY UNIQUE 
AND HAVE THEIR OWN FANTASTIC 
QUALITIES.
>> YES, FORT LANGLEY VERSUS 
MOUNT PLEASANT.
SO APPARENTLY, WE'VE BEEN TOLD 
BY OUR CONTROL ROOM THAT MOUNT 
PLEASANT IS JUST EDGING OUT FORT
LANGLEY RIGHT NOW, 47-43%.
>> OR IS IT 53?
>> NO, I THINK IT'S 47 AND -- 
>> 53, 47.
>> SORRY, BAD MATH.
WHAT WAS THAT?
I'M A JOURNALIST.
>> WE CAN JUST EDIT OUT THAT 
PART LATER.
>> YEAH, I NEVER SAID IT.
A SPIKE IN COVID-19 CASES HAS 
ALBERTA OFFICIALS WORRIED, WHY 
IS EDMONTON THE HOT SPOT?
WE'LL TELL YOU AFTER THE BREAK..
>> Mike: THE CITY OF EDMONTON 
NOW ACCOUNTS FOR MORE THAN HALF 
OF ALBERTA'S ACTIVE CASES.
IT'S A SPIKE THAT HAS HEALTH 
OFFICIALS THERE VERY CONCERNED.
AS CAROLYN DUNN REPORTS, THEY'RE
POINTING TO LARGE GATHERINGS AS 
THE MAIN REASON FOR THE SPREAD.
>> Reporter: FOR THE RONA BASS 
FAMILY, THE CAREFREE DAYS OF 
SUMMER HAVE BEEN PLAGUED BY 
UNCERTAINTY ABOUT RETURNING TO 
SCHOOL.
IN THE END, McKENZIE AND ASIAN  
-- ASHAWN WILL PUT ON THEIR 
MASKS AND HEAD BACK.
>> IF WE DON'T FEEL SAFE, WE 
HAVE THAT OPTION TO SAY, HEY, I 
THINK WE MIGHT JUST RETHINK THIS
AND KEEP THE KIDS HOME.
>> Reporter: TEACHERS AND SCHOOL
STAFF ARE BEING ENCOURAGED TO BE
TESTED BEFORE CLASSES BEGIN.
HERE'S WHAT THEY WERE FACING 
TODAY.
A SNAKING LINEUP OF PEOPLE 
WAITING TO BE TESTED FOR 
COVID-19, PERHAPS THE MOST 
VISIBLE SIGN THAT EDMONTON IS 
SEEING A BIG SPIKE.
JUST NINE DAYS AFTER RETURNING 
TO WORK IN HOTEL MAINTENANCE, 
GARY SANDER IS OFF YET AGAIN.
A CO-WORKER HAS TESTED POSITIVE.
HIS INCOME HAS BEEN HALVED, BUT 
SANDER HAS A BIGGER CONCERN.
>> WELL, I COULD TAKE IT HOME TO
MY FAMILY AND I DON'T WANT MY 
FAMILY TO GET IT BECAUSE MY WIFE
IS DIABETIC, SO WE CAN'T TAKE 
THE RISK.
>> Reporter: MOST OF EDMONTON'S 
CASES HAVE COME FROM PARTIES AND
SOCIAL EVENTS AND A VAST 
MAJORITY OF NEW CASES IN PEOPLE 
UNDER 40.
BUT THERE ARE NOW 15 CONFIRMED 
EDMONTON CASES CONNECTED TO THIS
CHURCH RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT 
GATHERINGS, ENOUGH TO PUT THE 
CITY ON OFFICIAL COVID WATCH.
>> THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL 
PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES REQUIRED 
AT THIS TIME AMONG EDMONTON.
>> Reporter: THIS INFECTIOUS 
DISEASE SPECIALIST SAYS THE 
NUMBERS ARE A CLEAR WARNING 
SIGN.
>> AS SOON AS YOU LET YOUR GUARD
DOWN T SEEMS TO COME ROARING 
BACK.
>> Reporter: THE QUESTION IS 
THOUSAND -- HOW TO CONVINCE THE 
REST OF THE CITY TO TAKE THE 
MEASURES TO REDUCE THE ROAR.
>> Lien: NATIONS THAT PUT THEIR 
OWN INTERESTS AHEAD OF OTHERS 
HAVE MADE THE PANDEMIC WORSE, 
ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH 
ORGANIZATION.
IT'S LED TO CRITICAL SHORTAGES 
OF PROTECTIVE GEAR AND BATTLES 
OF A DISTRIBUTION OVER A YET TO 
BE PROVEN VACCINE.
NOW THE W.H.O. SAYS THE 
MISGUIDED SELF-INTEREST OF 
PEOPLE UNDER 40 IS SEALING 
CONDITIONS FOR A DEADLY GLOBAL 
RESURGENCE FOR INFECTIONS.
>> YOU ARE NOT INVISIBLE TO THIS
VIRUS.
WE ARE SEEING PEOPLE, EVEN YOUNG
PEOPLE, WHO ARE ENDING UP WITH 
SEVERE DISEASE.
WE ARE SEEING YOUNG PEOPLE WHO 
ARE ENDING UP IN ICU AND WHO ARE
DYING FROM THIS VIRUS.
>> Mike: AND IT'S NOT JUST 
SCHOOL KIDS ADJUSTING TO NEW 
REALITIES IN THE CLASSROOM OR 
OUT OF IT.
POST SECONDARY STUDENTS ARE ALSO
COMING UP AGAINST NEW 
CHALLENGES, ESPECIALLY AS THEY 
ENTER FIRST YEAR.
DEANA SUMANAC JOHNSON TAKES A 
LOOK AT THAT.
>> Reporter: FOUR DAYS FROM NOW,
SHE WILL START HER FIRST YEAR AT
UNIVERSITY.
>> I KNOW FOR A FACT, I'M REALLY
BAD AT WORKING IN MY OWN HOME.
SO TO BE ON CAMPUS WOULD BE THE 
BEST THING FOR ME TO FOCUS ON MY
CLASSES.
>> Reporter: WHILE SHE'S 
EXCITED, THERE ARE MANY 
UNKNOWNS.
THE RESIDENCE SHE WAS INITIALLY 
ASSIGNED TO WAS SHUT DOWN 
BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNAL 
BATHROOM.
>> SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M 
GOING TO BE LIVING RIGHT NOW.
I PROBABLY WILL BE LIVING IN 
UPPER A DIFFERENT RESIDENCE, 
HOTEL STYLE.
ALL SINGLE ROOMS AND THEY ALL 
HAVE THEIR OWN BATHROOMS.
>> Reporter: UNCERTAINTY, 
ANXIETY, LAST-MINUTE CHANGES, 
ALL PART OF THE PACKAGE FOR 
STUDENTS WHO CHOOSE TO STUDY ON 
CAMPUS.
HERE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF 
TORONTO, STUDENTS ARE ONLY NOW 
FINDING OUT SOME OF THEIR 
COURSES ARE GOING ONLINE.
THE SCHOOL IS REDUCING THE 
NUMBER OF INPERSON COURSES 
SAYING STUDENTS WILL BE INFORMED
SOMETIME BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR 
STARTS, THAT'S JUST THREE WEEKS 
AWAY.
ON THE EAST COAST, FOUR 
PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS 
ESTABLISHED THE ATLANTIC BUBBLE.
>> THIS IS WHERE WE COOK OUR 
THREE MEALS A DAY.
>> Reporter: STUDENTS FROM 
OUTSIDE THOSE PROVINCES HAVE TO 
QUARANTINE FOR 14 DAYS LIKE THIS
MONTREALER STUDYING IN NOVA 
SCOTIA.
>> NOT REALLY ALLOWED TO GO 
OUTSIDE EXCEPT FOR MAYBE A 
LITTLE BIT OF FRESH AIR.
MY APARTMENT IS ON THE THIRD 
FLOOR OF THE HOUSE, SO I DON'T 
HAVE ACCESS TO A BALCONY OR 
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> Reporter: BUT EVEN WITH ALL 
THOSE PROTOCOLS IN PLACE, 
EXPERTS WORRY THAT MUCH STILL 
DEPENDS ON INDIVIDUAL STUDENT 
BEHAVIOUR.
>> THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, EXPECTING 
TO HAVE A SOCIAL COMPONENT OF 
LIFE IN RESIDENCE, LIFE AWAY 
FROM HOME, AND THAT'S GOING TO 
BE HARD TO NAVIGATE DURING 
COVID.
>> Reporter: THIS WOMAN SAYS HER
PARENTS TRUST HER TO BE 
RESPONSIBLE.
ONE HARD PART WILL BE SAYING 
GOODBYE IN THE 15 MINUTES FAMILY
ARE ALLOTTED TO MOVE THE 
STUDENTS IN AND LEAVE THE 
CAMPUS.
DEANA SUMANAC JOHNSON, CBC NEWS,

>> Lien: WELL, JUSTIN TRUDEAU IS
TRYING TO TURN THE PAGE AFTER A 
TUMULTUOUS FEW WEEKS.
TODAY HE APPOINTED DEPUTY PRIME 
MINISTER CHRYSTIA FREELAND AS 
CANADA'S FIRST FEMALE FINANCE 
MINISTER.
BUT AS DAVID COCHRANE REPORTS, 
THE CHANGES AREN'T SOFTENING THE
ATTACKS FROM THE OPPOSITION.
>> THE HONOURABLE CHRYSTIA 
FREELAND.
>> Reporter: AFTER WEEKS OF 
CONTROVERSY, A MOMENT OF 
HISTORY.
>> I, CHRYSTIA FREELAND, DO 
SOLEMNLY AND SINCERELY PROMISE 
AND SWEAR...
>> Reporter: WITH THAT OATH, 
CHRYSTIA FREELAND BECOMES THE 
FIRST WOMAN TO SERVE AS CANADA'S
FEDERAL FINANCE MINISTER.
IT'S A MOVE MADE NECESSARY BY 
BILL MORNEAU'S ABRUPT 
RESIGNATION ON MONDAY.
>> I'LL BE STEPPING DOWN AS 
FINANCE MINISTER AND AS MEMBER

>> Reporter: HIS EXIT COMES 
AFTER A WEEK OF STORIES QUOTING 
ANONYMOUS SOURCES, SPEAKING 
BLUNTLY ABOUT THE GROWING RIFT 
BETWEEN THE NOW FORMER FINANCE 
MINISTER AND THE PRIME MINISTER.
A SERIES OF ARTICLES THAT MADE 
MORNEAU'S DEPARTURE INEVITABLE 
AND CHANGES TO CABINET 
NECESSARY.
SO THE OTHER DOMINO, DOMINIC 
LeBLANC, WHO ASSUMES THE 
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS ROLE.
>> REGARDLESS, WE STILL HAVE THE
SAME CORRUPT AND INCOMPETENT 
PRIME MINISTER AHEAD OF THE SAME
CORRUPT AND CHAOTIC GOVERNMENT.
>> Reporter: THE OPPOSITION 
WON'T LET TRUDEAU CHANGE THE 
CONVERSATION...
>> Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau: IT 
HAS BEEN A PRIVILEGE TO WORK 
WITH BILL AND I WISH HIM ALL THE
VERY BEST IN THE COMING YEARS...
>> Reporter: AS EASILY AS HE 
CHANGES HIS CABINET, SO TRUDEAU 
IS HITTING THE RESET BUTTON 
ENTIRELY.
>> Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau: 
TODAY, I HAVE ASKED THE 
GOVERNOR-GENERAL TO PROROGUE 
PARLIAMENT.

MUCH AS THIS PANDEMIC IS AN 
UNEXPECTED CHALLENGE, IT IS ALSO
AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY.
THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO BUILD A 
MORE RESILIENT CANADA.
>> Reporter: HE PROMISES A 
BLUEPRINT FOR A POST PANDEMIC 
CANADA THAT WILL IMMEDIATELY GO 
TO A CONFIDENCE VOTE TO DECIDE 
IF A GOVERNMENT THAT HAS JUST 
LOST A TOP MINISTER HOLDS ON TO 
POWER OR FACES AN ELECTION.
DAVID COCHRANE, CBC NEWS, 
OTTAWA.
>> Mike: THIS IS NIGHT TWO OF 
THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL 
CONVENTION IN THE U.S. FORCED 
ONLINE AND ON TV ONLY OVER 
COVID-19 CONCERNS.
OUR SUSAN ORMISTON IS ON THE 
GROUND IN WISCONSIN TONIGHT 
WHICH TURNED REPUBLICAN FOUR 
YEARS AGO AFTER THREE DECADES OF
SUPPORTING DEMOCRATS.
>> Reporter: COWS DON'T CARE, 
BUT PADDOCKS ARE POLITICAL TURF 
IN WISCONSIN.
CHRISTIAN JURSIC IS PASSIONATE 
ABOUT CLIMATE AND SUSTAINABLE 
AGRICULTURE.
SHE SMELLS A CHANGE, WELL, 
HOPES.
>> I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE OUT HERE 
ARE SUPER FRUSTRATED WITH THE 
AGRICULTURE ECONOMY ITSELF AND 
WITH THE TRADE WAR.
I DEFINITELY KNOW PEOPLE WHO 
HAVE REMORSE THAT THEY MADE A 
BAD CHOICE.
>> Reporter: OUTSIDE THE CITIES,
WISCONSIN IS MORE CONSERVATIVE.
HER NEIGHBOURING FARMERS WENT 
WITH DONALD TRUMP LAST TIME.
TO WIN, JOE BIDEN WILL NEED TO 
SHOW UP EVENTUALLY.
HILLARY CLINTON DIDN'T.
>> SHE JUST TOOK IT FOR GRANTED 
THAT, YOU KNOW, WISCONSIN WAS A 
GIVEN.
>> Reporter: DO YOU THINK IT'S 
GOING TO BE CLOSE?
>> I DO.
IN THIS COMMUNITY, SO MANY 
PEOPLE ARE JUST STAUNCH 
REPUBLICANS, BUT IF GRANDPA 
VOTED THAT WAY, EVERYBODY ELSE 
IS GOING TO KEEP VOTING THAT 
WAY, MAYBE WITHOUT THINKING A 
LOT ABOUT IT.
>> Reporter: TRUMP AND PENCE ARE
HERE TWICE THIS WEEK, WHEN THE 
STATE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OVERRUN
WITH DEMOCRATS FOR THEIR 
CONVENTION.
THERE'S NO MISTAKING LOYALTIES 
AT ARBACK ACRES WITH A FLAG "F 
YOUR FEELINGS."
>> THE STATE IS IN CHAOS.
ACTUALLY, I AM A TRUMP FAN.
I KNOW PEOPLE DON'T REALLY WANT 
TO HEAR THAT.
BUT HE PRETTY MUCH SAYS THIS IS 
HOW I FEEL, THIS IS WHAT I 
THINK.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, HE DOESN'T
CARE.
BUT I ALSO THINK HE IS MORE FOR 
THE PEOPLE THAN WHAT PEOPLE GIVE
HIM CREDIT FOR.
>> Reporter: BUT IN THE CITY, 
PLACES LIKE NORTH END MILWAUKEE,
STRUGGLING BEFORE ARE WORSE WITH
THE PANDEMIC, VOTING HERE IN 
2016 FELL 20%, HELPING TRUMP.
DAN SAYS HE WILL VOTE THIS TIME.
>> TRUMP IS A BULLY.
HE'S IGNORANT.
HE DON'T KNOW NOTHING.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW HE BE 
PRESIDENT.
IF TRUMP CAN BE THE PRESIDENT, 
YOU MIGHT AS WELL KANYE FOR 
PRESIDENT.
>> TOO MANY COMMUNITIES HAVE 
BEEN LEFT IN THE LURCH.
>> Reporter: NOW WITH THE 
VIRTUAL CONVENTION, WITH 
NEIGHBOURS WATCHING IN THEIR 
BACKYARDS INSTEAD OF THE 
CONVENTION FLOOR, THAT WILL TEST
DEMOCRATS' INGENUITY TO ENERGIZE
THE VOTE TO BRING WISCONSIN BACK
IN THE FOLD.
>> I THINK PEOPLE HAVE NOW 
LEARNED THEIR LESSON, AND THEY 
ARE GOING TO VOTE IN DROVES THIS
FALL.
>> IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
I THINK WE WIN WISCONSIN AND WE 
HAVE A PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN.
>> Reporter: THEY SAY THEY'RE 
READY.
>> Mike: SUSAN ORMISTON 
REPORTING TONIGHT FROM 
MILWAUKEE.
A SMALLER BUBBLE, STAGGERED 
BREAKS, AND EVEN ONLINE 
LEARNING.
DETAILS BEHIND SURREY'S 
BACK-TO-SCHOOL PLAN.
WE'RE GOING TO SPEAK WITH THE 
SUPERINTENDENT NEXT.
>> Mike: SOME OF THE STORIES 
WE'RE FOLLOWING TONIGHT ON CBC 
VANCOUVER NEWS...
>> SEEING IN THE AGE GROUP THAT 
THE CASES ARE GROWING, I 
FIRSTHAND KNOW HOW PEOPLE ARE 
RESPONDING AND I DON'T REALLY 
THINK, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT 
BEING SMART AND SAFE ABOUT IT.
>> Mike: BC PREMIER JOHN HORGAN 
SAYS UNSAFE PARTIES AND LARGE 
GATHERINGS ARE ERODING THE HARD 
WORK MANY PEOPLE ARE DOING TO 
STOP THE SPREAD OF COVID-19.
HE SAYS THE PROVINCE WILL BE 
ANNOUNCING ENFORCEMENT ACTION 
AGAINST THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO 
PUT OTHERS AT RISK.
THE PROVINCE'S STATE OF 
EMERGENCY IS BEING EXTENDED TO 
SEPTEMBER 1st AND BC IS 
REPORTING 83 NEW CASES TODAY, 
BUT NO NEW DEATHS.
>> SHE'S NOT ALLOWED TO BE IN 
DAYCARE UNTIL SHE HAS EITHER 14 
DAYS OF QUARANTINE OR A NEGATIVE
COVID TEST.
>> Lien: AS WE HEAD CLOSER TO 
BACK-TO-SCHOOL, MANY PARENTS ARE
WONDERING HOW THEY CAN GET THEIR
KIDS TESTED IF THEY DEVELOP 
SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19.
BUT SOME PARENTS SEEM TO BE 
GETTING CONFLICTING INSTRUCTIONS
ABOUT WHERE TO GO.
HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY CHILDREN 
CAN BE TESTED AT ANY OF BC's 87 
TESTING LOCATIONS.
>> A SURVEY OF TEACHERS AND HIGH
NUMBERS REPORT FEELING EITHER 
HIGHLY ANXIOUS OR ANXIOUS ABOUT 
HOW SAFE IT WILL BE GOING BACK.
>> Mike: TEACHERS IN SURREY ARE 
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT PACKING 
STUDENTS IN TO SMALL CLASSROOMS 
COME THE FALL.
BC's LARGEST SCHOOL DISTRICT 
UNVEILED ITS BACK-TO-SCHOOL PLAN
FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS TODAY.
COHORTS WILL HAVE EITHER 30 OR 
60 STUDENTS.
THE PROVINCE'S CAP IS 120.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PLANS ARE 
EXPECTED IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
>> Lien: WELL, STUDENTS ARE 
HEADED BACK TO SCHOOL?
JUST A FEW WEEKS, BUT IT'S 
TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF WHO 
ARE FACING A TOUGH TEST RIGHT 
NOW.
HOW DO THEY DELIVER QUALITY 
EDUCATION AND KEEP KIDS SAFE 
DURING A PANDEMIC?
SCHOOL DISTRICTS NEED TO SUBMIT 
PLANS TO THE PROVINCE BY FRIDAY 
AND FOR MORE, WE'RE JOINED BY 
JORDAN TENNEY, THE 
SUPERINTENDENT OF SURREY SCHOOL 
DISTRICT, BC's LARGEST.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
HAPPY TO BE HERE.
>> Lien: WE'RE GETTING A SNEAK 
PEEK OF YOUR DISTRICT'S PLAN, 
YOU'RE KEEPING COHORTS FROM 30 
TO 60 STUDENTS, BUT WE'RE 
HEARING CONCERNS FROM SOME 
TEACHERS THAT INDIVIDUAL CLASSES
COULD BE TOO BIG.
HOW ARE YOU ADDRESSING THAT 
WORRY?
>> WELL, I THINK FOR US GOING 
DOWN TO BASICALLY ONE SINGLE 
CLASS AS A COHORT IS A LOT 
SMALLER THAN THE 120.
SO THAT'S OUR STARTING POINT.
YOU KNOW, THE DIRECTIONS FROM 
THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND 
Dr. BONNIE HENRY IS THAT IT IS 
THE COHORT SIZE THAT IS THE 
THING WE'RE LOOKING TO KEEP 
SMALLER AND NOT THE INDIVIDUAL 
CLASS SIZE.
SO WE WOULDN'T BE GOING DOWN 
NECESSARILY TO TEN OR 15 
STUDENTS, BUT THERE ARE CASES 
WHERE IF WE HAVE STUDENTS WHO 
CROSS COHORT WHERE THEY INTERACT
BETWEEN COHORTS, THIS WILL GO TO
A MUCH SMALLER SIZE FOR THOSE 
CLASSES.
>> Lien: OKAY, SO THE GOAL IS 
SOCIAL INTERACTION.
WHAT HAPPENS IS A STUDENT IS IN 
A COHORT WITH FEW OR NONE OF 
THEIR FRIENDS?
>> YEAH, WELL, REMEMBER, THE 
STUDENTS CAN STILL INTERACT WITH
THEIR PEERS AT BREAK TIMES AND 
AT LURNLG LUNCH, BUT THIS IS THE
TIME WHEN THEY NEED TO PRACTICE 
PHYSICAL DISTANCING.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A HIERARCHY 
OF CONTROL.
IF YOU CANNOT PRACTICE SOCIAL 
DISTANCING, THEN MASKS ARE 
ANOTHER PIECE.
>> Lien: AND MOST STUDENTS ARE 
GOING TO SPEND HALF OF THEIR 
TIME ONLINE AND THEN HALF OF 
THEM IN CLASS.
DO WE KNOW AT THIS POINT WHICH 
CLASSES FALL WHERE
FOR YOUR 
DISTRICT?
>> NO, WE WOULDN'T.
NOW THAT WE'VE GOT OUR STRUCTURE
READY AND WE'RE GETTING READY TO
SUBMIT TO THE MINISTER OF 
EDUCATION ON FRIDAY TO SEE IF 
OUR PLAN IS APPROVED OVERALL, SO
IT'S THE STRUCTURE IN PLACE AND 
THEN OUR PRINCIPALS AND VICE 
PRINCIPALS ARE DOING AMAZING 
WORK IN THE BACKGROUND, SPINNING
THE TIME TABLES TO SEE WHICH 
COURSES FALL IN TO WHICH BLOCKS 
AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FOR 
STUDENTS AND FOR STAFF.
>> Lien: AND THE PROVINCE IS NOW
REQUIRING MASKS IN HIGH TRAFFIC 
AREAS SPECIFICALLY FOR OLDER 
STUDENTS.
HOW DO YOU ENFORCE THAT AMONG 
LARGE STUDENT BODIES?
IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?
>> YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE 
TRICKY, NO DOUBT.
THE PIECE FOR US, DIFFERENT FOR 
THE PUBLIC, IS OUR ENVIRONMENTS 
ARE SOMEWHAT CONTROLLED.
IT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH 
STUDENTS THAT YOU GET TO WORK 
WITH THEM OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.
I DON'T MAKE ANY BONES ABOUT IT,
IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO 
POLICE, BUT THIS IS ALSO PART OF
THE STUDENTS' LEARNING TO BE 
RESPONSIBLE ADULTS AND HOPEFULLY
THE OLDER STUDENTS WILL MANAGE 
THEIR MASKS AND THEIR DISTANCING
AND THEIR HYGIENE AND ALL OF THE
MEASURES THAT THEY HAVE TO TAKE 
WELL.
>> Lien: WE'LL HAVE TO LEAVE IT 
THERE TODAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
SUPERINTENDENT JORDAN KINNEY 
WITH THE SURREY SCHOOL DISTRICT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
TAKE CARE.
>> Mike: DELIVERY WITH A FATAL 
MESSAGE DELIVERED BY A CROSSBOW 
AND THE AMAZING STORY OF 
SURVIVAL.
THAT'S NEXT.
>> Lien: AND IT'S 6:41 p.m. A 
LIVE LOOK AT THE NORTH SHORE AND
THE BURRARD INLET, BEAUTIFUL.
BUT IT WAS ANOTHER HOT AND MUGGY
ONE.
WE COULD BE LOOKING AT SOME OF 
THE WET STUFF SOON AND IT 
COULDN'T HAPPEN SOON ENOUGH 
BECAUSE WE ARE LOOKING AT 
WILDFIRES ACROSS THE 
>> WHEN YOUR BACKYARD IS 
BURNING, IS ANYWHERE SAFE?
I'M ADRIENNE LAM, HOST OF A NEW 
PODCAST, WORLD ON FIRE.
FIND IT WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR 
PODCAST.
>> Lien: TAKING YOU BACK TO OUR 
TOP STORY NOW, HUNDREDS OF 
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO 
LEAVE THEIR PROPERTY IN THE 
OKANAGAN AHEAD OF A FAST-GROWING
WILDFIRE.
SOME SIGNIFICANT UPDATES.
>> Mike: SO WE'RE JOINED BY DAN 
BURRITT WITH THE LATEST.
>> Reporter: THIS FIRE HAS GROWN
FAST.
BC FIRE OFFICIALS NOW ESTIMATE 
THE CHRISTIE MOUNTAIN WILDFIRE 
IS 250 HECTARES LARGE AND ZERO 
PERCENT CONTAINED.
IT'S BURNING ON THE EAST SIDE OF
SKAHA LAKE NEAR OKANAGAN FALLS 
SOUTH OF PENTICTON.
THE REGIONAL DISTRICT ORDERED 
PEOPLE LIVING IN 319 PROPERTIES 
IN HERITAGE HILL TO LEAVE NOW.
THOSE PROPERTIES RUN FROM THE 
FOOT OF THE LAKE UP THE MOUNTAIN
SIDE.
IT'S VERY TOUGH FOR THE GROUND 
CREWS TO GET IN THERE.
THAT'S WHY THE AIR TANKERS HAVE 
BEEN HITTING IT FROM ABOVE.
WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT SPARKED
THE FIRE.
EVACUEES ARE BEING ASKED TO 
REGISTER AT THE EMERGENCY 
OPERATIONS CENTRE WHICH IS AT 
199 ELLIS STREET.
AS WE SAID, IT WAS A HOT DAY IN 
THE OKANAGAN, IN THE LOW TO MID 
30s.
THAT FIRE BURNING THERE.
THE CITY OF PENTICTON SAYS THE 
FIRE HAS FORCED THE CLOSURE OF 
THE SKAHA BLUFFS PROVINCIAL 
PARK.
THAT CHRISTIE MOUNTAIN WILDFIRE 
PROMPTING THE EVACUATION OF 
ABOUT 319 PROPERTIES NEARBY 
SOUTH OF PENTICTON.
YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT THIS 
STORY ON OUR WEB SITE, cbc.ca/bc
AND WE WILL HAVE THE LATEST FOR 
YOU TONIGHT AT 11.
LIEN, MIKE?
>> Mike: THANKS VERY MUCH FOR 
THE UPDATE.
DAN BURRITT LIVE WITH US.
LET'S BRING IN METEOROLOGIST 
JOHANNA WAGSTAFFE WITH US.
YOU'RE FOLLOWING THIS FIRE VERY 
CLOSELY.
OBVIOUSLY CONDITIONS NOT GOOD.
THEY HAD ALL OF THE LIGHTNING 
AND THE WARM TEMPERATURES IN 
THAT AREA.
>> Lien: AND THE WINDS.
WEATHER. 
>> Johanna: UNFORTUNATELY, YEAH,
AND WINDS TOO, A PERFECT 
COMBINATION UNFORTUNATELY OF 
EXTREME FIRE CONDITIONS.
TAKING YOU TO THE SATELLITE AND 
RADAR, WE HAD A LITTLE FRONT 
ROLL THROUGH IN JUST THE PAST 
COUPLE OF HOURS, AGAIN, STILL AS
DAN MENTIONED, WAITING TO FIND 
OUT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE, BUT 
FRESH LIGHTNING SPARKED UP NEW 
FIRES.
WINDS FROM THE SOUTHEAST IN THE 
BETTER PART OF THE DAY.
THE FRONT GUSTING OVER 30km/h 
AND WE'VE GOT A FIRE RULE, THE 
30/30/30 RULE.
IF TEMPS ARE OVER 30, WINDS OVER
30km/h AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY 
UNDER 30%, THAT IS EXTREME FIRE 
DANGER.
WE'VE HAD THAT A FEW HOURS THIS 
AFTERNOON.
WINDS HAVE CALMED DOWN A LITTLE 
BIT BUT SHIFTING.
DIFFICULT TERRAIN IS ALSO ADDING
TO THE SITUATION.
WE STILL ARE TRACKING THE 
LIGHTNING STRIKES AS THEY CROSS 
OVER IN TO ALBERTA.
A STABLE HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND 
THAT LITTLE FRONT IS CONTINUING 
TO LEAD TO HIGH AND EXTREME FIRE
DANGER ACROSS THE PROVINCE FOR 
THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
WE ARE WATCHING THIS SYSTEM VERY
CLOSELY.
IT WILL BE BRINGING SOME RAIN TO
THE PROVINCE AND TO VANCOUVER.
LET'S TAKE YOU THROUGH THE 
FORECAST.
STARTING OFF WITH INCREASING 
CLOUD WEDNESDAY, IT WILL BE 
ANOTHER MILD OR WARM OVERNIGHT.
YESTERDAY, TEMPERATURES IN 
VANCOUVER DIDN'T DROP BELOW 18º.
SO, YES, THAT WAS ONE OF OUR 
STICKIEST NIGHTS YET.
INCREASING CLOUDS TOMORROW, BUT 
I THINK THE RAIN WILL HOLD OFF 
UNTIL TOMORROW EVENING, FILLING 
IN FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
THIS IS A PRETTY BIG RAINMAKER 
FOR THE SOUTH COAST.
I'LL HAVE A BETTER IDEA ON 
RAINFALL TOTALS TOMORROW.
I'M THINKING THIS COULD BE AN 
OVER 50 MILLIMETRE STORY.
THEN THAT SYSTEM WILL SPREAD 
ACROSS THE INTERIOR FOR 
THURSDAY.
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE IS AS 
MUCH RAIN FOR THE SOUTH COAST, 
BUT THIS COULD BE A GAME CHANGER
FOR FIRE FIGHTERS ESPECIALLY 
AFTER ANOTHER HOT AND WINDY DAY 
TOMORROW.
TOMORROW 30s AGAIN IN THE 
INTERIOR AND WE'LL KEEP THAT 
FORECAST UNTIL THURSDAY.
NOTICE THAT NICE DROP IN 
TEMPERATURES AS THAT FRONT ROLLS
THROUGH.
SO NOT ONLY WILL WE GET SOME 
RAIN ON THURSDAY, WE'LL SEE 
THOSE TEMPS DROP AND RELATIVE 
HUMIDITY RISE.
SO THURSDAY COULD BE A GOOD ONE 
AS LONG AS WE DON'T SEE TOO MANY
LIGHTNING STRIKES.
FOR US IN METRO VANCOUVER, 
ANOTHER WARM ONE TOMORROW, 
INCREASING CLOUDS, SHOWERS 
THROUGH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, 
TEMPERATURES DROPPING DOWN TO 
THE HIGH TEENS FOR THURSDAY.
THE WEEKEND NOT LOOKING TOO 
BADLY, THOUGH.
THIS IS KIND OF A PERFECT 
LINEUP.
WE GET OUR RAIN AND WE GET OUR 
WEEKEND BACK.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> Lien: THAT SOUNDS LIKE A 
GREAT PLAN AND I'M SURE FIRE 
CREWS ARE WATCHING FOR THE 
THURSDAY RAIN CLOSELY.
>> Announcer: THE WEATHER UPDATE
IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY FORTIS BC, 
USING MORE ENERGY THESE DAYS, 
WE'VE GOT ENERGY SAVING TIPS, 
EASY UPGRADES, HOW-TO VIDEOS AND
MORE.
>> Lien: WELL, SHE LIVED AND IS 
NOW SPEAKING OUT.
>> Mike: POLICE ALLEGE HER 
FORMER PARTNER HIRED A HITMAN TO
POSE AS A DELIVERY PERSON AND 
SHOOT HER WITH A CROSSBOW.
>> Lien: GREG ROSS HAS MORE ON 
HER INCREDIBLE STORY OF SURVIVAL
AND THE SEARCH FOR THE HITMAN.
>> NOT ONLY DO I LIVE WITH 
CONSTANT PAIN, BUT I LIVE IN 
CONSTANT FEAR, FEAR FOR MY 
SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THOSE 
AROUND ME.
>> Reporter: SPEAKING ON THIS 
POLICE VIDEO WITH HER FACE 
SHADED TO PROTECT HER IDENTITY, 
THE VICTIM OF THIS HEINOUS CRIME
DESCRIBES THE MOMENT SHE OPENED 
THE DOOR TO A MAN SHE THOUGHT 
WAS A DELIVERY DRIVER.
SECURITY VIDEO SHOWS THE MAN 
HOLDING A LARGE BOX.
LITTLE DID SHE KNOW INSIDE WAS A
LOADED CROSSBOW AIMED AT HER.
>> IN AN INSTANT, I WAS SHOT 
WITH A CROSSBOW, FIGHTING FOR MY
LIFE WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH A 
911 OPERATOR.
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE.
>> Reporter: THE ARROW FROM THE 
CROSSBOW HIT HER IN THE CENTRE 
OF HER TORSO.
SINCE THEN, SHE'S UNDERGONE 
MULTIPLE SURGERIES AND MEDICAL 
PROCEDURES.
SHE SAYS SHE HAS PERMANENT, 
PHYSICAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL 
DAMAGES.
>> TO SAY THIS HAS TAKEN A TOLL 
ON ME PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY
IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
>> Reporter: WHILE THE MAN WHO 
PULLED THE TRIGGER IS STILL OUT 
THERE, LAST WEEK, POLICE 
ARRESTED ANOTHER MAN THEY SAY 
WAS INVOLVED.
>> INVESTIGATORS ARRESTED AND 
HAVE CHARGED ROGER JAGGERNAUTH 
OF MISSISSAUGA, THE SURVIVOR'S 
EXCOMMON-LAW PARTNER.
>> Reporter: THE DETECTIVE 
SERGEANT SAYS POLICE BELIEVE 
JAGGERNAUTH HIRED SOMEONE TO 
KILL HER.
>> IT'S CLEAR DUE TO COMMENTS 
MADE BY THE SURVIVOR TO THE 
SUSPECT THAT THIS ATTACK WAS 
MEANT TO END THE SURVIVOR'S 
LIFE.
>> Reporter: THE VICTIM DOESN'T 
KNOW THE MAN WHO CAME TO HER 
HOUSE WITH THE CROSSBOW BUT 
UNTIL HE'S IDENTIFIED AND 
CAPTURED BY POLICE, SHE WILL 
CONTINUE TO LIVE IN FEAR.
>> FEAR OF LARGE CROWDS, FEAR OF
BEING ALONE.
I EVEN EXPERIENCE ANXIETY FROM 
THE SOUND OF A DOORBELL.
>> Reporter: POLICE ARE OFFERING
A $25,000 REWARD FOR INFORMATION
IN A LEADS TO HIS ARREST.
GREG ROSS, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Mike: WELL, SHE BOUGHT A 
HOUSE, BUT THE MYSTERY CAME FREE
OF CHARGE.
( ♪♪♪ )
 
>> Mike: OKAY, A WOMAN IN ST. 
JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND HAS A BIT 
OF A MYSTERY ON HER HANDS, BUT 
IT TURNS OUT SHE'S THE PERFECT 
PERSON TO TRY TO SOLVE IT.
>> Lien: MAUREEN POWER IS A 
MUSEUM CURATOR AND THE HOME SHE 
JUST MOVED IN TO HAS TURNED IF 
TO HER LATEST PROJECT.
>> Mike: IT'S COVERED IN 
INCREDIBLE ART AND NO ONE KNOWS 
FOR SURE WHO PAINTED IT ALL OR 
WHEN.
>> Reporter: THERE ARE MURALS 
EVERYWHERE, IN HALLWAYS, 
PORCHES, BUT THE OLDEST IS 
LIKELY IN THE LIVING ROOM.
DISCOVERED BY A PREVIOUS OWNER.
>> APPARENTLY THERE WAS A DROP 
CEILING IN THERE, I WAS TALKING 
TO THE OWNER WHO REVEALED IT.
WHAT HE DID, HE WAS CHANGING THE
LIGHT FIXTURE OR SOMETHING AND 
POPPED THE CEILING AND THE 
FLASHLIGHT UP THERE AND SAW THE 
MURAL.
>> Reporter: NOW IT'S BACK ON 
DISPLAY AND BEAUTIFUL, STEADIED 
BY SOME STRAPPING JUST IN CASE.
>> IT'S AN ORIGINAL ONE.
IT HAS NEWFOUNDLAND BERRIES, 
BUTTERFLIES, A NIGHT SKY, THE 
ROPE MOTIF AND THE NEWFOUNDLAND 
FLAG GOING AROUND.
>> Reporter: CURIOUS ABOUT THE 
HISTORY OF THEIR CEILINGS, POWER
POSTED ON A LOCAL HISTORY BUFF 
FACEBOOK PAGE.
THAT'S WHERE SHE LEARNED IT 
COULD BE THE WORK OF POLISH 
INMATE ALEXANDER PINDAGOVSKI.
>> THIS IS THE SAME ARTIST THAT 
DID THE MURALS IN GOVERNMENT 
HOUSE AND THE CONVENT.
>> Reporter: THIS WAS HIS WORK 
AT THE COLONIAL BUILDING.
HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF 
ATTEMPTING TO FORGE CHEQUES IN 
1880 AND SENTENCED TO 15 MONTHS 
AT HER MAJESTY'S PENITENTIARY 
BACK WHEN THE BUILDING WAS NEW.
WHILE SERVING HIS TIME, HE WAS 
LET OUT OF JAIL TO PAINT 
CEILINGS AT SOME OF THE CITY'S 
MORE PROMINENT BUILDINGS.
WHEN HIS JAIL TIME WAS UP, HE 
ADVERTISED HIS PAINTING SERVICES
TO HOMEOWNERS IN THE NEWSPAPER 
BEFORE MOVING TO BOSTON.
IT'S POSSIBLE THE ORIGINAL OWNER
OF POWER'S HOUSE HIRED HIM 
BEFORE HE LEFT ST. JOHN'S, BUT 
IT'S NOT FOR CERTAIN.
>> WELL, HE LEFT NEWFOUNDLAND IN
THE 1880s AND I CANNOT FIND OUT 
IF THIS HOUSE WAS BEFORE 1893.
>> Reporter: POWER THINKS SOME 
COULD HAVE BEEN PAINTED IN THE 
EARLY 2000s.
>> UPSTAIRS, WE HAVE ST. MICHAEL
OR AN ANGEL COMING OUT OF THE 
CEILING AND THEN A WHOLE BUDGE 
OF OTHER PAINTINGS AND SYMBOLS.
>> Reporter: AND SO THROUGH YOUR
MOVE-IN PROCESS, YOU ACTUALLY 
UNCOVERED ONE.
>> THERE WAS A BIT OF PAINT OFF 
ON THE WALLS ON THE WAY DOWN THE
STAIRS, SO I GOT A PLASTIC 
SCRAPER AND REVEALED ANOTHER 
MURAL.
>> Reporter: WHILE THE FAMILY 
CHISELS AWAY AT UNPACKING, POWER
IS PLANNING HER OWN EXCAVATION, 
NOT JUST ON THE STAIRS BUT IN 
ROOMS WHERE THERE COULD POSSIBLY
BE ANOTHER HIDDEN PINDEKOWSKI.
HER HOPE IS TO FIGURE OUT THE 
ORIGINS AND RESTORE THE HISTORY 
AS HER FAMILY ADDS ITS OWN 
CHAPTER TO THE STORY.
>> Lien: WOW, WHAT A STUNNING 
HOME!
>> Mike: NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE 
GOING TO FIND.
I BET YOU HE WAS A PRETTY GOOD 
CHEQUE FORGER.
WELL, MAYBE NOT GOOD ENOUGH 
BECAUSE I GUESS HE GOT CAUGHT, 
BUT AS AN ARTIST FORGING 
CHEQUES, HE MUST HAVE BEEN 
PRETTY GOOD.
>> Lien: GREAT HANDIWORK ON HIS 
PART.
THAT IS IT IT FOR US FOR THIS 
NEWSCAST.
TONIGHT AT 11, WE WILL HAVE MORE
ON THE CHRISTIE MOUNTAIN 
WILDFIRE THAT IS BREAKING.
WE'VE GOT A REPORTER OUT THERE, 
AND DAN BURRITT WILL BE BACK AT 
11 O'CLOCK WITH THAT ALONG WITH 
MORE STORIES.
THAT'S IT FROM TONIGHT.
>> Mike: THANKS FOR WATCHING.
SEE YOU AGAIN TOMORROW.
