>> Anita:  TONIGHT ON CBC 
VANCOUVER NEWS ...
>> WELL, I WAS REALLY LOOKING 
FORWARD TO IT. 
>> Mike:  BACK IN BUSINESS.
>> WE'RE TOYING WITH THE IDEA OF
HAVING A COVID FEE.
>> WELCOME ...
>> Mike:  HOW GETTING A HAIR CUT
OR GRABBING A BITE IN BC HAS 
DRAMATICALLY CHANGED.
ALSO ...
>> I WANT TO REASSURE YOU THAT 
WE WOULD NOT BE EASING THESE 
RESTRICTIONS IF WE DO NOT FEEL 
WE COULD DO SO SAFELY. 
>> Anita:  FOLLOW THE RULES.
Dr. BONNIE HENRY'S FIRM REMINDER
TO BUSINESSES OPENING THEIR 
DOORS.
AND ...
>> INSPIRED ALL CANADIANS AT A 
TIME WHEN WE NEEDED IT.
>> Mike:  WORST-CASE SCENARIO 
TURNED WORST NIGHTMARE.
>> NO!
[ Yelling ]
>> Mike:  HOW DID A SNOWBIRDS 
FLIGHT TURN FATAL?
>> Announcer:  THIS IS CBC 
VANCOUVER NEWS.
>> Anita:  GOOD EVENING.
AS THREE MORE DEATHS FROM 
COVID-19 AND JUST TWO MORE CASES
ARE REPORTED IN BC TODAY, OUR 
PROVINCE IS NOW ROLLING INTO 
PHASE TWO OF ITS RESTART PLAN. 
>> Mike:  MANY BUSINESSES 
ORDERED TO CLOSE HAVE BEEN GIVEN
THE GREEN LIGHT TO REOPEN, BUT 
ONLY IF THEY ABIDE BY NEW HEALTH
AND SAFETY REGULATIONS. 
>> Anita:  OKAY; SO HERE'S A 
LOOK AT WHAT'S ALLOWED TO REOPEN
UNDER ENHANCED PROTOCOLS.
RESTAURANTS, CAFES, AND PUBS.
MEDICAL SERVICES LIKE DENTISTRY,
PHYSIOTHERAPY, REGISTERED 
MASSAGE THERAPY, AND CHIRO 
PRAKTORS, PERSONAL SERVICES LIKE
HAIR SALONS AND BARBERS.
CHILDCARE FACILITIES.
IN-PERSON COUNSELLING, MUSEUMS, 
ART GALLERIES, AND LIBRARIES.
PARKS, BEACHES, AND RECREATIONAL
FACILITIES, OFFICE-BASED WORK 
SITES. 
>> Mike:  SOME BUSINESSES LIKE 
THE RETAIL INDUSTRY THAT WERE 
NEVER ORDERED TO CLOSE 
COMPLETELY MUST FOLLOW A NEW SET
OF GUIDELINES IF THEY WANT TO 
REOPEN OR STAY OPEN.
AND RESTAURANTS OPENING THEIR 
DOORS TODAY HAVE TO FOLLOW NEW 
RULES ON CAPACITY AND SPACING OF
CUSTOMERS.
AS JESSE JOHNSTON REPORTS, 
DINING OUT JUST BECAME A VERY 
DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE.
>> Reporter:  IF YOU REMEMBER 
NORMAL, THIS IS KIND OF WHAT IT 
LOOKED LIKE.
PATIOS WITH PEOPLE ON THEM.
AND SERVERS ACTUALLY SERVING.
>> IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THE 
ATMOSPHERE BACK.
CHATTERING OF CUTLERY AGAIN. 
>> Reporter:  THIS RESTAURANT IS
OPERATING AT JUST UNDER 50% 
CAPACITY TO ENSURE SAFE PHYSICAL
DISTANCING. 
>> I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT THEY 
ARE OPEN.
JUST HAVE TO HOPE THAT WE DON'T 
GET AN INCREASE IN THE VIRUS. 
>> Reporter:  JUST DOWN THE 
STREET, THIS RESTAURANT PATIO IS
AS FULL AS IT'S ALLOWED TO BE 
UNDER THE PROVINCE'S RULES.
ONE OF MANY NEW SAFETY MEASURES 
IN PLACE AND INSIDE, CUSTOMERS 
ARE TAKING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS OF
THEIR OWN.
>> WELL, YES.
[ Laughter ]
>> WE ALWAYS CARRY ONE OF THOSE.
HAND SANITIZER.
I WAS DOING THE MATH.
YOU KNOW, I HAVE REALIZED, AS 
LONG AS YOU ARE HEALTHY, SOCIAL 
DISTANCING, KEEPING YOUR HANDS 
CLEAN. 
>> DEFINITELY WASHING HANDS A 
LITTLE BIT MORE OFTEN.
>> Reporter:  RESTAURANT OWNERS 
ARE GRATEFUL TO BE OPEN AGAIN 
BUT IT REMAINS UNCLEAR IF THEY 
CAN TURN A PROFIT UNDER THE 
CURRENT RULES.
>> FOR THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY 
TO REALLY SUCCEED AND REALLY 
THRIVE AND BE HEALTHY, WE NEED 
TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF 
THE SQUARE FOOTAGES THAT WE HAVE
LEASED IN PREVIOUS YEARS.
SO WE REALLY DO NEED TO GET UP 
TO THAT 75%, 100% CAPACITY, BUT 
IN DUE TIME.
WE HAVE TO BE PATIENT.
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S 
HEALTH AND SAFETY AND OF THE 
UTMOST IMPORTANCE. 
>> Reporter:  MANY GYMS ARE IN 
THE SAME BOAT. 
>> PUT YOUR HEELS DOWN, LIKE 
THIS. 
>> Reporter:  AT THIS CENTRE IN 
PORT MOODY, THEY ARE OPERATING 
AT 50% CAPACITY AND TAKING OTHER
PRECAUTIONS TOO.
>> CLEANING LIKE A LOT.
[ Laughter ]
>> LIKE, MORE SO THAN BEFORE.
YOU KNOW, 15 MINUTES BEFORE AND 
AFTER CLASSES.
SO THINGS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED 
SUCH THAT I THINK WE HAVE DONE 
THE BEST YOU COULD POSSIBLY DO. 
>> Reporter:  WHETHER IT'S 
WORKING OUT OR EATING OUT, MANY 
ARE STILL TOO NERVOUS ABOUT THE 
CORONAVIRUS TO COME BACK.
BUT FOR OTHERS ...
>> WOO!
>> DONE QUITE A BIT OF TIME 
WORKING FROM HOME.
SO TO COME BACK HERE AND EVEN 
JUST TO SEE PEOPLE, EVEN IF THEY
ARE 6 FEET AWAY, IT'S JUST NICE 
TO ACTUALLY SEE PEOPLE AGAIN.
>> HAPPY TO BE BACK AND DOING 
SOMETHING PHYSICAL AND GETTING 
MY MIND OFF EVERYTHING THAT'S 
BEEN GOING ON. 
>> Reporter:  THE OPPORTUNITY TO
DO SOMETHING NORMAL AGAIN IS TOO
MUCH TO PASS UP.
JESSE JOHNSTON, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> Mike:  AND IF YOU ARE TIRED 
OF WINDOW SHOPPING OR BUYING 
ONLINE, SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.
>> Anita:  WHILE THEY WEREN'T 
ORDERED TO CLOSE IN THE FIRST 
PLACE, MANY RETAIL STORES DID 
ANYWAY.
BUT THEY ARE NOW REOPENING AS 
WELL.
>> Mike:  DAN BURRITT IS LIVE ON
ROBSON STREET IN DOWNTOWN 
VANCOUVER TONIGHT WITH MORE ON 
THIS.
DAN, WHAT'S HAPPENING AT SOME OF
THOSE RETAIL STORES?
>> Reporter:  WELL, CLEARLY SOME
PEOPLE WERE JONESING FOR A 
LITTLE RETAIL THERAPY AFTER 
MONTHS OF BEING COOPED UP.
THIS IS THE LINE-UP TO GET INTO 
THE ARITZIA, I SHOULD SAY, DOWN 
THE STREET AT ZAHRA, ANOTHER 
LINE-UP TO GET IN.
A LOT OF THESE STORES AND 
PARTICULARLY AT SPORT CHECK DOWN
THE STREET, A LINE-UP AROUND THE
BUILDING TO GET IN.
50 PEOPLE IN THERE MAX.
A LOT OF THE RETAILERS HAVE DONE
THIS.
THEY ARE ENHANCING CLEANING AND 
TELLING PEOPLE TO STAY APART.
NOW, THAT WAS PART OF -- AS 
ANITA MENTIONED, THAT SOME OF 
THE STORES WERE NOT ORDERED TO 
CLOSE.
HOWEVER, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT 
THE DROP IN CUSTOMERS, THEY HAVE
HAD TO LAY OFF STAFF AND WEREN'T
ABLE TO STAY OPEN AND A LOT OF 
THEM STRUGGLING AS WELL TO PAY 
THEIR RENT.
NOW, AS -- AS WE SAID, A LOT OF 
THEM WEREN'T ORDERED TO CLOSE 
BUT THANKFULLY, AS YOU CAN SEE, 
A LOT OF THE CUSTOMERS HAPPY TO 
BE BACK.
WE SPOKE TO PEOPLE SHOPPING 
ALONG ROBSON EARLIER TODAY.
>> DEFINITELY NICE TO HAVE THE 
CHANCE TO GO LOOK AT SOMETHING 
AND TRY IT ON.
FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT. 
>> I'M GLAD THINGS ARE HEATING 
UP AND EVERYTHING IS GOING BACK 
TO NORMAL.
>> TODAY NOT BUSY.
EVERYTHING IS OKAY.
>> NO LINE-UPS, NO NOTHING.
I THINK IT'S 'CAUSE I GOT HERE A
LITTLE BIT EARLIER.
>> Reporter:  AND ANOTHER THING 
YOU ALSO NOTICE, PARTICULARLY 
HERE ALONG ROBSON STREET, FOR 
LEASE SIGNS, FOR SALE SIGNS, 
BUSINESSES ARE EMPTY AND RENTERS
WHO WERE TRYING TO -- EITHER 
TRYING TO GET IN OR LANDLORDS 
LOOKING TO GET NEW TENANTS.
AS WELL, PLENTY OF OTHER STORES 
THAT JUST ARE NOT OPEN YET.
THEIR SIGNS ARE STILL IN THE 
WINDOW SAYING THEY WERE PLANNING
TO OPEN ON MARCH 31ST AND THEY 
ARE STILL WAITING.
SO NOT LIKE THIS FOR EVERYBODY.
ANITA, MIKE. 
>> Mike:  LINING UP ON ROBSON, 
DAN BURRITT LIVE TONIGHT.
THANKS. 
>> Anita:  IF YOU ARE TRYING TO 
GET YOUR HAIR UNDER CONTROL 
TODAY, YOU MAY HAVE BEEN GREETED
WITH A LONG LINE-UP.
THERE WERE SOME OF THOSE 
LINE-UPS AT BARBERSHOPS AND 
SALONS ACROSS THE PROVINCE 
TODAY.
IT'S BEEN MONTHS SINCE SALONS 
HAVE BEEN OPEN AND PEOPLE WERE 
EAGER TO GET A TRIM, BUT VISITS 
WILL BE A FAR CRY FROM WHAT THEY
WERE BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
FOR STARTERS, YOUR CUT AND 
COLOUR WILL LIKELY COME WITH A 
COVID FEE.
SALON OPERATORS SAY NEW SAFETY 
GUIDELINES MEAN HIGHER COSTS FOR
THEM AND FOR YOU.
AS BELLE PURI OF THE CBC 
"IMPACT" TEAM REPORTS, THAT WILL
BE MORE PROTOCOL AND LESS 
PAMPERING.
>> Reporter:  SALONS ARE ALL 
ABOUT NEW LOOKS.
BUT BEFORE THEY CAN ONCE AGAIN 
GIVE YOU ONE, THEY HAVE TOO GET 
ONE THEMSELVES.
>> SO WE HAVE 19 CHAIRS HERE, 
AND WE'RE ONLY GOING DOWN TO 9 
CHAIRS. 
>> Reporter:  PHYSICAL 
DISTANCING IS ONE CHANGE TO KEEP
STYLISTS AND CLIENTS SAFE DURING
THE COVID PANDEMIC.
EXPECT PLEXIGLASS, MASKS, AND 
GLOVES.
DON'T EXPECT MAGAZINES, 
BEVERAGES, AND PERKS. 
>> LIKE, WE DON'T HAVE THE SCALP
MASSAGES WITH OUR SHAMPOOS.
ALL THE LITTLE EXTRA TOUCHES, 
LIKE MAKEUP TOUCHUPS AND STUFF 
LIKE THAT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE
ABLE TO DO. 
>> Reporter:  AND A TRIP TO THE 
SALON WILL LIKELY COST MORE.
>> WE'RE TOYING WITH THE IDEA OF
HAVING A POSSIBLE COVID FEE.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE REDUCED 
PRODUCTTIVITY, REDUCED CAPACITY.
SO HOW CAN WE MAKE THAT UP?
>> Reporter:  SALON OPERATORS 
PREDICT MINIMUM PRICE HIKES OF 5
TO 10%.
>> LOOKS LIKE WE'RE AT ABOUT 60%
CAPACITY.
SO THAT'S A BIG HIT FOR US AS A 
BUSINESS.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT 
WE'RE ABLE TO SUSTAIN OURSELVES 
AND BEING OPEN AS WELL. 
>> Reporter:  WEEKS OF BEING 
CLOSED AND READJUSTMENTS OF 
BEING OPEN HAVE LED TO HUGE 
FINANCIAL LOSSES.
THE REAL CHALLENGE FOR THIS 
INDUSTRY:  UNLIKE OTHER 
PROVINCES, BC DOESN'T REGULATE 
HAIR AND BEAUTY PROFESSIONALS.
THAT MEANS NO MINIMUM STANDARDS 
OR PROTOCOLS, AND AS A RESULT, 
NOT EVERYONE IS EAGER TO REOPEN.
ONE BC STYLIST PETITIONED THE 
PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT TO NOT 
INCLUDE HER INDUSTRY IN THE 
FIRST PHASES OF ITS BACK-TO-WORK
PLAN FEARING ITS IMPACT ON CASES
OF COVID. 
>> I DON'T FEEL SAFE RIGHT NOW.
COULD WE WAIT EVEN A COUPLE OF 
WEEKS TO SEE WITH NON-MEMBERS, 
LIKE OTHER BUSINESSES THAT 
DON'T -- YOU KNOW, THAT CAN 
SOCIALLY DISTANCE?
WILL THERE BE A FIGHT, YOU KNOW?
HOW IS IT GOING TO LOOK?
>> Reporter:  BUT SALONS HAVEN'T
BEEN ORDERED TO REOPEN.
THEY HAVE JUST BEEN GIVEN THE 
OKAY IF THEY CHOOSE TO UNDER 
WORKSAFEBC RULES DESIGNED TO 
REDUCE THE RISK OF TRANSMITTING 
THE DEADLY VIRUS. 
>> IT'S NERVE-RACKING.
THERE IS A LOT OF EMOTIONS THAT 
COME ALONG WITH IT BECAUSE OF 
THE WAYS THE WORLD IS RIGHT NOW.
SO IT'S JUST TACKLING ALL THE 
EMOTIONS FOR YOU AND YOUR 
CLIENT. 
>> Reporter:  CLIENTS IT APPEARS
MAY BE DESPERATE TO GET THEIR 
HAIR DONE.
SALONS THAT ARE REOPENING ARE 
ALREADY BOOKED FOR MAY AND 
HALFWAY INTO JUNE. 
>> WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING 
YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CALLING. 
>> Reporter:  BELLE PURI, CBC 
NEWS, NORTH VANCOUVER.
>> Mike:  ALL RIGHT.
TO THE LATEST NUMBERS NOW, AND 
THE NUMBER OF ACTIVE COVID-19 
CASES IN BC IS NOW AT 325.
THAT'S THE FEWEST SINCE MARCH 
19TH.
EXACTLY TWO MONTHS AGO.
AS WE MENTIONED, THREE MORE 
PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN THE PAST 24 
HOURS, BRINGING BC'S TOTAL TO 
146.
THE GOOD NEWS?
TODAY'S TWO NEW CONFIRMED CASES 
ARE THE FEWEST SINCE MARCH 6TH.
BC NOW SLOWLY APPROACHING 2,500 
CONFIRMED CASES.
THERE ARE NOW 45 PEOPLE IN 
HOSPITAL, 12 OF THOSE PATIENTS 
STILL IN INTENSIVE CARE, AND WE 
ARE NEARING 2,000 RECOVERIES IN 
THE PROVINCE WITH 81% OF CASES 
HAVING RECOVERED.
>> Anita:  OKAY.
SO WITH ALL THE NEW GUIDELINES, 
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING 
SURE CUSTOMERS AND COMPANIES 
FOLLOW THE RULES?
>> Mike:  TANYA FLETCHER HERE 
LIVE WITH MORE ON THIS TONIGHT.
TANYA, HOW WILL BUSINESSES WILL 
MONITORED, AND WHAT'S THE 
ENFORCEMENT PROCESS?
>> Reporter:  YEAH, SO, MIKE, 
WORKSAFEBC HAS BEEN TAKING THE 
LEAD ON MAKING SURE THAT EACH 
SECTOR CAN TAILOR THE GUIDELINES
TO THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS AND 
FROM THERE, THE PROVINCE WILL 
MAKE SURE THOSE RULES ARE 
MONITORED AND ENFORCED.
Dr. BONNIE HENRY EMPHASIZED 
THESE ARE NOT REGULATIONS.
THEY ARE GUIDANCE STANDARDS.
SO ACCOUNTABILITY REALLY LIES ON
THE BUSINESS OWNER TO MAKE SURE 
THOSE PLANS ARE POSTED PUBLICLY,
SO THERE IS TRANSPARENCY.
NOW, BC'S ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH 
OFFICERS ARE THE ONES IN CHARGE 
OF OVERSEEING SAFETY IN THE 
WORKPLACE THROUGH INSPECTIONS.
>> IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT 
SAFETY IN A BUSINESS, WHETHER 
IT'S A NAIL SALON OR A 
RESTAURANT, THEN YOU CAN 
COMPLAIN TO YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC 
HEALTH AND THEY WILL DO AN 
INSPECTION, DEPENDING ON WHAT 
THE RISKS ARE, AND THERE IS 
VARIOUS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF 
INSPECTION.
BUT, AGAIN, OUR FIRST LINE OF 
ACTION IS NOT TO FINE PEOPLE OR 
SHUT THEM DOWN.
IT'S TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE 
TAKING THE NECESSARY ACTIONS 
THAT WE NEED TO KEEP PEOPLE 
SAFE.
>> Reporter:  BUT SHE DID SAY IN
THAT SAME BREATH THERE ARE WAYS 
FOR HEALTH OFFICERS TO FINE OR 
SHUT DOWN ANY BUSINESSES AS A 
LAST RESORT IF THEY ARE NOT 
COMPLYING. 
>> Anita:  MANY OF THE 
GUIDELINES INCLUDE WEARING FACE 
MASKS, BUT BC HASN'T ORDERED 
MANDATORY MASKS IN PUBLIC EVEN 
AS WE BEGIN TO REOPEN.
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHY?
>> Reporter:  YEAH, Dr. HENRY 
REITERATED TODAY THAT THERE IS 
NO EVIDENCE THAT A NON-MEDICAL 
MASK CAN PROTECT YOU AGAINST THE
VIRUS.
WE HEARD AGAIN TODAY YOU SHOULD 
NOT WEAR A FACE MASK INSTEAD OF 
PRACTICING OTHER, MORE EFFECTIVE
MEASURES, BUT SHE ALSO SAYS THE 
ROLE OF MASKS HAS EVOLVED AND AT
THIS POINT WE SHOULD BE PREPARED
TO WEAR THEM WHEN IT'S DIFFICULT
TO PHYSICALLY DISTANCE.
SPECIFIC SCENARIOS WHERE WEARING
A MASK IS NOW A GOOD IDEA. 
>> THINGS LIKE USING TRANSIT, 
WHERE WE MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE 
ABLE TO KEEP THAT PHYSICAL 
DISTANCE, WHERE WE'RE IN A SMALL
STORE, WHERE IT'S DIFFICULT TO 
KEEP THAT DISTANCE FROM PEOPLE 
FOR THE SHORT PERIOD OF TIME 
THAT WE'RE THERE, AND FOR PLACES
LIKE HAIR SALONS, WHERE YOU ARE 
GOING TO HAVE -- BE CLOSER TO 
SOMEBODY. 
>> Reporter:  BUT SHE EMPHASIZED
AGAIN WE SHOULD MINIMIZE THE 
AMOUNT OF TIME WE'RE IN THAT 
KIND OF CLOSE CONTACT WITH 
OTHERS, AND SHE ALSO CAUTIONED 
AGAINST BECOMING COMPLACENT IF 
YOU ARE WEARING A MAVENLTH, YOU 
KNOW, MAKING SURE IT DOESN'T 
GIVE YOU A FALSE SENSE OF 
SECURITY OR MAKE YOU FEEL YOU 
ARE INVINCIBLE.
>> Anita:  THANKS, TANYA.
[♪♪♪]
>> Mike:  WELL, AS PEOPLE ACROSS
THE COUNTRY MOURN THE LOSS OF 
SNOWBIRDS TEAM MEMBER CAPTAIN 
JENN CASEY, THE PRIME MINISTER 
ADDRESSED THE ACCIDENT TODAY, 
PROMISING TO REACH OUT TO THOSE 
AFFECTED BY SUNDAY'S DEADLY 
CRASH IN KAMLOOPS. 
>> Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau:  I 
WILL, OF COURSE, BE SPEAKING TO 
THE FAMILY OF CAPTAIN CASEY AND 
OTHERS.
THERE IS GOING TO BE A PROPER 
INVESTIGATION AND WE'RE GOING TO
ALLOW THEM TO DO THEIR WORK 
BEFORE WE MAKE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT
WHAT MIGHT BE THE OUTCOME OF 
THAT INVESTIGATION.
>> Mike:  FOR THEIR PART, 
INVESTIGATORS CAUTIONED THAT 
WORK WILL TAKE TIME, BUT THEY DO
DESCRIBE SUNDAY'S INCIDENT AS A 
WORST-CASE SCENARIO TURNED WORST
NIGHTMARE, ADDING CAPTAINS CASEY
AND MacDOUGALL WOULD ONLY HAVE 
EJECTED IF THEY HAD NO OTHER 
OPTION.
BRIAR STEWART SPOKE WITH SOME OF
THE INVESTIGATORS IN KAMLOOPS 
TONIGHT.
>> Reporter:  AT A GROWING 
MEMORIAL OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT, 
CANADA'S MINISTER OF DEFENCE, 
ALONG WITH MEMBERS OF THE 
SNOWBIRDS, CAME TO REMEMBER AND 
PAY TRIBUTE TO CAPTAIN JENN 
CASEY.
>> HAVING THIS DISPLAY 
DEMONSTRATES TO THEM HOW MUCH WE
APPRECIATE WHAT THEY DO FOR ALL 
OF US.
>> Reporter:  NEARBY AT THE 
CRASH SITE, AIR FORCE 
INVESTIGATORS ARE FOCUSSED ON 
THE WRECKAGE STILL STREWN ACROSS
LAWNS.
TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER WHAT 
LED UP TO THIS.
[ Yelling ]
>> NO!
>> NO!
>> Reporter:  WHAT ARE YOU 
LOOKING FOR WHEN YOU SEE THAT 
VIDEO?
THIS IS A FORMER INVESTIGATOR 
WITH THE TRANSPORTATION SAFETY 
BOARD. 
>> IF I COULD HEAR THE AIRPLANE 
WHO WAS CLIMBING AND IF YOU 
EXPECT THAT, YOU WOULD HAVE AN 
ENGINE -- INCREASE OF THRUST.
DIDN'T HEAR THAT.
I'M WONDERING IF THERE WAS SOME 
SORT OF ENGINE PROBLEM. 
>> Reporter:  ROBERT MITCHELL IS
A FORMER COMMANDER OF THE 
SNOWBIRDS AND STILL FLIES IN AIR
SHOWS.
HE KNEW CASEY PERSONALLY.
>> YOU KNOW, IT'S OBVIOUSLY 
HORRIFIC AND TRAGIC, AND YOU 
DON'T OFTEN THINK OF ONE OF THE 
PASSENGERS IN AN AIRPLANE IN THE
SNOWBIRDS BEING HURT LIKE THIS 
OR KILLED.
>> Reporter:  MITCHELL SAYS IT 
WAS NOT UNCOMMON FOR THE PUBLIC 
AFFAIRS OFFICER AND A MECHANIC 
TO RIDE IN THE JETS IN TRANSIT.
ON SUNDAY, PILOT CAPTAIN 
MacDOUGALL AND CASEY WERE ON 
THEIR WAY TO VANCOUVER ISLAND.
MITCHELL SAYS EACH WOULD HAVE 
HAD TO PULL THEIR OWN EJECTION 
HANDLE AND OFFICIALS CONFIRM 
THEY BOTH EJECTED BEFORE THE 
CRASH.
AS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE TUDOR 
JETS, WHICH WERE ORIGINALLY 
MANUFACTURED IN THE 1960s, 
MITCHELL SAYS HE HAS NO 
CONCERNS.
>> I WOULD GO GET IN THAT JET 
TODAY AND FLY IT.
I HAVE THOUSANDS OF HOURS FLYING
THE TUDOR JET WITH THE SNOWBIRDS
AND EVEN IN PILOT TRAINING.
AND I NEVER QUESTION THE 
AIRPLANE. 
>> Reporter:  OFFICIALS SAY THE 
JETS ARE CHECKED BEFORE EACH 
TAKEOFF AND EVERY TWO YEARS, 
THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY TORN APART 
AND REBUILT.
BUT SOMETHING DID GO HORRIBLY 
WRONG AND IT COULD TAKE A YEAR 
FOR THE INVESTIGATION TO BE 
COMPLETE.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS, 
KAMLOOPS.
>> Mike:  A BC TEEN WITH A RARE 
DEGENERATIVE DISEASE HAS FINALLY
WON HIS FIGHT TO HAVE THE 
PROVINCE PAY FOR A PRICEY WONDER
DRUG. 
>> Anita:  BUT IN THE TIME IT'S 
TAKEN TO GET THAT APPROVAL, HIS 
PARENTS SAY HIS CONDITION HAS 
DETERIORATED.
ERIC RANKIN OF OUR CBC VANCOUVER
IMPACT TEAM HAS THE EXCLUSIVE 
STORY.
>> OKAY, YOU READY?
>> REPORTER:  FOR MOST OF HIS 
LIFE, 14-YEAR-OLD MILES HAS BEEN
GETTING WEAKER AND WEAKER, 
ROBBED OF STRENGTH BY SPINAL 
MUSCULAR ATROPHY OR SMA.
>> OKAY, HERE WE GO. 
>> Reporter:  HE CAN'T WALK, HIS
ARMS ARE GETTING WEAKER, AND 
BREATHING AND SWALLOWING ARE 
BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT.
BUT SOME OF THAT MIGHT BE ABOUT 
TO CHANGE.
AFTER A LONG BATTLE WITH THE 
PROVINCE, MILES IS ABOUT TO 
RECEIVE A POTENTIALLY 
LIFE-CHANGING DRUG. 
>> WHEN I HEARD OF, LIKE, OH, MY
GOD, FINALLY THAT TIME. 
>> IT'S BEEN A REALLY LONG 
FIGHT.
SO IT'S -- IT'S REALLY GOOD.
YEAH.
>> TO GET TO THE ESSENTIAL 
NERVOUS SYSTEM ...
>> Reporter:  THE BC HEALTH 
MINISTRY WILL NOW PAY FOR 
SPINRAZA, ONE OF THE MOST 
EXPENSIVE DRUGS IN THE WORLD.
THE GENE THERAPY CAN HALT, EVEN 
REVERSE THE EFFECTS OF SMA IN 
YOUNG PEOPLE.
THE PROBLEM:  IT'S $118,000 A 
SHOT.
$700,000 FOR THE FIRST INTENSE 
YEAR OF INJECTIONS.
IT'S NOT KNOWN IF BC, LIKE SOME 
JURISDICTIONS, NEGOTIATED A 
CHEAPER PRICE WITH THE U.S. 
MANUFACTURER, BIOGEN.
IN DECEMBER, THE HEALTH MINISTRY
APPROVED THE USE OF THE DRUG IN 
CHILDREN 12 AND UNDER.
MILES MISSED THE CUT-OFF BY TWO 
YEARS AND APPEALED.
BUT THEN COVID-19 HIT AND HE 
FEARED HE'D BE FORGOTTEN.
>> I KNEW THAT IT WOULD GET IN 
THE WAY.
IT DID FOR A WHILE.
AND THAT'S JUST THE POINT WHERE 
I KIND OF LOST PRETTY MUCH ALL 
HOPE.
>> Reporter:  THE HEALTH 
MINISTRY WON'T COMMENT ON THE 
CASE CITING PATIENT 
CONFIDENTIALITY, BUT SAYS 
REQUESTS FOR THIS EXPENSIVE 
TREATMENT ARE REVIEWED ON A 
CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.
MILES' PARENTS ARE THANKFUL, BUT
SAY HE HAS GOTTEN WORSE DURING 
THE FIVE-MONTH WAIT.
>> HE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO PLAY
ONE OF HIS FAVOURITE GAMES.
BECAUSE HIS ARMS HAD WEAKENED 
ENOUGH WHERE HE COULDN'T REACT 
QUICK ENOUGH AND WHATNOT.
THAT REALLY SUCKED.
THAT WAS PAINFUL TO HEAR.
>> Reporter:  MILES' TREATMENT 
IS EXPECTED TO START SOON.
HIS PARENTS HAVE MODEST HOPES.
>> BE ABLE TO TACKLE ON A JOB 
AND GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL AND 
IN -- YOU KNOW, DO WHAT EVERY 
14-YEAR-OLD SHOULD BE DOING, YOU
KNOW?
>> Reporter:  MILES AND HIS 
FAMILY VOW THEY WON'T GIVE UP 
THE FIGHT TO PUSH THE HEALTH 
MINISTRY TO HELP EVERYONE WITH 
SMA.
>> TRY TO APPROVE SPINRAZA FOR, 
LIKE, AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.
>> Reporter:  ERIC RANKIN, CBC 
NEWS, VANCOUVER.
>> Mike:  A BC WOMAN, WHO 
PLEADED GUILTY IN THE COLLEGE 
ADMISSIONS SCANDAL IN THE U.S., 
HAS BEEN FINED $250,000.
SHE ADMITTED PAYING A PRESCRIBE 
OF $400,000 TO GET HER SON INTO 
THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS
ANGELES AS A FAKE SOCCER 
RECRUIT.
SHE IS A CHINESE CITIZEN WHO 
LIVES IN SURREY, AND SHE PLEADED
GUILTY IN FEBRUARY.
TODAY SHE WAS SENTENCED REMOTELY
BY A BOSTON JUDGE VIA ZOOM.
SHE WAS ARRESTED IN SPAIN IN 
SEPTEMBER, JAILED FOR FIVE 
MONTHS AND EVENTUALLY EXTRADITED
TO THE U.S.
SHE WILL NOT SERVE ANY MORE JAIL
TIME.
HER SON GAINED ADMISSION BASED 
ON FAKE INFORMATION THAT HE WAS 
A TOP SOCCER PLAYER IN CANADA, 
EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN'T PLAY 
COMPETITIVE SOCCER.
50 WEALTHY PARENTS HAVE BEEN 
CAUGHT UP IN THE ADMISSIONS 
SCANDAL.
[♪♪♪]
>> Anita:  TIME NOW TO CHECK IN 
WITH METEOROLOGIST BRETT 
SODERHOLM.
BRETT, YOU ARE LOOKING NICE AND 
SUNNY UP THERE.
[ Laughter ]
>> Brett:  IT HAS BEEN ANOTHER 
BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY.
YESTERDAY FOR THOSE THAT HAD THE
DAY OFF, VICTORIA DAY, WAS QUITE
LOVELY.
AND TODAY, WELL, IT STARTED OFF 
A LITTLE BIT CLOUDY.
THE SUN DEFINITELY HAS COME OUT 
ALL ACROSS VANCOUVER AND THE 
LOWER MAINLAND IN GENERAL.
BUT I KNOW YOU MAY BE INTERESTED
AND WONDERING IF IT'S STICKING 
AROUND.
SADLY IT'S GOING TO BE HIDING IN
THE CLOUDS FOR THE NEXT FEW 
DAYS.
BUT I DO WANT TO TAKE A LOOK NOW
AT OUR CURRENT TEMPERATURES, 
THOUGH.
THIS REALLY WAS ONE OF THE 
DOMINATE STORIES FOR TODAY, 
BECAUSE VANCOUVER GOT UP TO 
ABOUT 19º, JUST SHY OF THAT 20º 
MARK.
BUT PLACES INTO THE FRASER 
VALLEY, LIKE ABBOTSFORD AND HOPE
CERTAINLY DID MAKE IT.
I WANTED TO ZOOM OUT, THOUGH, 
AND GIVE YOU A LOOK AT WHAT'S 
GOING ON ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
THERE IS A LOT OF WARM AIR RIGHT
NOW, CENTRED ACROSS THE CENTRAL 
PRAIRIES, SO PLACES LIKE 
SASKATCHEWAN AND MANITOBA SEEING
SOME OF THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES
IN THE COUNTRY.
IN FACT, A LOT OF THEM PUSHING 
VERY CLOSE TO ABOUT 30º 
ESPECIALLY IN MANITOBA WHEREAS 
THE EAST, UNDERSTANDABLY, IS 
GOING TO BE MUCH COOLER.
WHEN IT COMES TO OUR FORECAST, 
THOUGH, BACK INTO VANCOUVER, I 
WANT TO MENTION HOW, FOR THE 
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, WE'RE NOT 
GOING TO BE EXPECTING ANY CLOUDS
REALLY OF NOTE.
JUST A FEW SMALL LITTLE CLOUDS 
THROUGHOUT THE EVENING AND 
OVERNIGHT PERIOD.
BUT TOMORROW MORNING, THESE 
CLOUDS ARE GOING TO BE 
INCREASING IN SIZE AND THAT'S 
GOING TO MAKE FOR MOSTLY CLOUDY 
DAY WITH A FEW SHOWERS.
BUT AS I HAVE BEEN MENTIONING 
THROUGHOUT THIS MONTH, WE ARE 
LOOKING AT SOME ADDITIONAL 
RAINFALL AND THIS IS GOING TO BE
GOOD TO HELP BRING UP OUR 
MONTHLY AVERAGE AND WHEN I COME 
BACK, I'M GOING TO HAVE THE FULL
PROVINCIAL LOOK AT WHAT OUR 
FORECAST IS LIKE ACROSS BC.
>> Anita:  TALK TO YOU SOON, 
BRETT.OULD MAKE TWO IN A ROW.
THANKS. 
>> Mike:  YOU CAN WATCH THIS 
NEWSCAST LIVE ON CBC GEM, THE 
FREE APP,LSO WHERE YOU CAN 
FIND OTHER CBC PROGRAMS. 
>> Anita:  CBC VANCOUVER ALSO ON
FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, AND 
INSTAGRAM, AND YOU CAN FOLLOW 
THE TWO OF US ON INSTAGRAM AND 
TWITTER.
[♪♪♪]
>> Mike:  IT WAS SET TO REOPEN 
IN TWO DAYS.
WELL, NOW THE CANADA-U.S. BORDER
WILL BE CLOSED EVEN LONGER.
ALL THE DETAILS ON THAT RIGHT 
AFTER THE BREAK.
[♪♪♪]
>> Anita:  THANK YOU FOR STAYING
WITH US AND WATCHING ONLINE 
DURING OUR AD-FREE LIVE STREAMED
NEWSCAST. 
>> Mike:  WELL, THERE HAS BEEN A
HUGE UPTICK IN BIKE SALES IN 
RECENT WEEKS, IN BC AND TORONTO.
>> Anita:  GREG ROSS IS LOOKING 
INTO WHETHER IT'S JUST A 
REACTION TO THE PANDEMIC OR IF 
BIKING IS HERE TO STAY. 
>> A DRASTIC SPIKE IN SPRING, 
GIVEN THE CONDITIONS THAT ARE 
OUT THERE. 
>> Reporter: AVIR IS A PART 
OWNER OF GIANT CYCLE ON QUEEN 
STREET.
HE SAYS BUSINESS IS BOOMING 
RIGHT NOW. 
>> WE'RE EXPERIENCING A LARGE 
NUMBER OF CONSUMERS NEW TO THE 
WORLD OF CYCLING, THAT HAVE 
PERHAPS CYCLED IN THEIR EARLY 
DAYS AND NOW RETURNING TO IT. 
>> Reporter:  BUT PEOPLE AREN'T 
ONLY BUYING BIKES FOR 
RECREATIONAL PURPOSES.
HE SAYS MANY OF HIS CUSTOMERS 
ARE TURNING TO THEM AS AN 
ALTERNATIVE TO PUBLIC 
TRANSPORTATION.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE JUST AFTER 
COMMUTER BIKES RIGHT NOW.
PLANNING FOR RETURNING TO WORK 
AND HOW THEY ARE GOING TO GET TO
WORK. 
>> Reporter:  THERE ARE ALSO 
OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT 
IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW BIKE. 
>> WE HAVE SEEN, IN TERMS OF 
STATS WITH BIKE SHARE, A HUGE 
INCREASE.
>> Reporter:  BECAUSE OF THE 
INCREASED NUMBER OF CYCLISTS ON 
THE ROAD, CITY COUNCILLOR JOE 
CRESSEY SAYS WE NEED TO EXPAND 
THE CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE TO 
SUPPORT IT. 
>> CITIES AROUND THE WORLD, FROM
NEW YORK CITY TO LONDON, 
ENGLAND, TO BOGOTA, HAVE ALL 
IMPLEMENTED HUGE INCREASES IN 
CYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE AS A 
PUBLIC HEALTH IMPERATIVE IN THE 
WAKE OF COVID. 
>> Reporter:  BUT SOME WONDER IF
THE SHORT-TERM GAIN FROM 
EXPANDING BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE 
COULD LEAD TO LONG-TERM PAIN. 
>> IF WE RUSH INTO THINGS, IT'S 
NOT EASY TO REVERSE A DECISION 
TO CLOSE A LANE OR TO TAKE AWAY 
PARKING.
THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IS 
PERMANENT.

COUNCILLOR SAYS IT COULD CAUSE 
MAJOR PROBLEMS WHEN PEOPLE 
RETURN TO WORK, ESPECIALLY FOR 
THOSE COMMUTING FROM THE

THEIR VEHICLE INSTEAD OF TAKING 
THE PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEM, WE 
MAY SEE EXTREMELY ACUTE 
CONGESTION DURING RUSH HOUR.

CONCERNED ABOUT SPENDING MONEY 
TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES WHEN WE 
COULD BE HEADED FOR A MAJOR 
RECESSION, BUT CRESSY SAYS WE 
CAN'T PUT A PRICE TAG ON ISSUES 
OF PUBLIC HEALTH. 
>> WHAT OUR MEDICAL OFFICER OF 
HEALTH AT THE CITY HAS SAID VERY
CLEARLY IS THAT WE NEED TO 
EXPAND AND ACCELERATE SAFE 
DISTANCING ON SIDEWALKS AND WITH
NEW BIKE LANES.
THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS 
VIRUS ISN'T GOING AWAY. 
>> Reporter:  CRESSEY SAYS STAFF
WILL BRING A REPORT TO COUNCIL 
NEXT WEEK, WHICH WILL INCLUDE 
RECOMMENDATIONS TO CHANGE AND 
POTENTIALLY ACCELERATE THE 
CITY'S BIKE PLAN.
GREG ROSS, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Anita:  I HAVE TO SAY, A LOT 
OF PEOPLE IN MY LIFE HAVE GOTTEN
ON THE BIKING TREND INCLUDING MY
HUSBAND.
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
>> Mike:  WELL, DID HE BUY A 
BIKE?
>> Anita:  HE HAD ONE ALREADY 
BUT DIDN'T USE IT LAST YEAR AND 
NOW IT'S BEING USED EVERY DAY, 
SO ...
>> Mike:  THEN I CAN RELATE.
I USED TO BIKE A LOT.
I DID THE RIDE TO CONQUER CANCER
A FEW TIMES AND COPS FOR CANCER.
AS A GUEST RIDER THERE.
AND THEN EPUT MY BIKE AWAY IN 
STORAGE.
THAT WAS, UH, A LONG TIME AGO.
IT'S COMING OUT OF STORAGE. 
>> Anita:  SO IT HASN'T COME OUT
YET. 
>> Mike:  COMING OUT ON 
WEDNESDAY BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE 
SERVICED.
I GOT ONE OF THE MOBILE SERVICE 
COMPANIES COMING BY TO SERVICE 
THE BIKE AND WE'LL GET IT BACK 
ON THE ROAD.
>> Anita:  WOW.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU BIKE INTO 
THE STUDIO, MIKE.
[ Laughter ]
>> Mike:  YEAH.
YOU PROBABLY WON'T.

>> Mike:  OTTAWA AND WASHINGTON 
HAVE AGREED TO KEEP THE 
CANADA-U.S. BOARDED CLOSED TO 
ALL NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL UNTIL 
JUNE 21ST.
>> Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau:  
WE'RE ADJUSTING CONSTANTLY TO 
WHAT IS THE RIGHT MEASURES FOR 
CANADIANS TO GET THAT BALANCE 
BETWEEN KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE AND 
RESTORING A SEMBLANCE OF 
NORMALITY AND THE ECONOMIC 
ACTIVITY THAT WE ALL RELY ON. 
>> Mike:  THE BORDER WAS SLATED 
TO REOPEN TO TOURISTS, DAY 
TRIPPERS, AND OTHER RECREATIONAL
TRAVELLERS MAY 21ST, TWO DAYS 
FROM NOW, BUT THIS IS THE SECOND
TIME THE DATE HAS BEEN PUSHED 
BACK.
FOR HIS PART, TRUDEAU SAYS 
EXTENDING THE CLOSURE BY 30 DAYS
ONCE AGAIN IS THE RIGHT THING TO
DO.
THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT 
REMAIN THE SAME.
THAT MEANS THOSE WHO TRY TO 
ENTER THE COUNTRY AT IRREGULAR 
ENTRY POINTS WILL BE RETURNED TO
THE UNITED STATES.
>> Anita:  MOST CANADIANS HAVE 
ESSENTIALLY BEEN HOUSE-BOUND FOR
THE PAST TEN WEEKS.
NOW AS SHOPS AND SERVICES SLOWLY
RETURN, IMPATIENCE IS MINGLING 
WITH APPREHENSION ABOUT THE 
RISKS OF GETTING OUT THERE.
CONSERVATIVE LEADER ANDREW 
SCHEER SAYS OTTAWA MUST ENSURE 
PUBLIC SAFETY BUT SHOULD BE 
URGING PEOPLE TO RESUME LIFE.
>> I AM ENCOURAGED BY SOME OF 
THE SIGNS THAT WE ARE REOPENING,
AND I THINK THAT GOVERNMENT 
SHOULD BE ENCOURAGING THAT AND 
DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO -- TO
FACILITATE THAT AND MAKE SURE 
THE REOPENINGS ARE SUCCESSFUL BY
THINGS LIKE ENSURING THAT THERE 
IS ADEQUATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE 
EQUIPMENT, THAT THERE IS SUPPORT
TO THE PROVINCES AS THEY DO 
THIS.
>> Mike:  THE WORLD HEALTH 
ORGANIZATION HAS WRAPPED UP ITS 
ANNUAL ASSEMBLY WITH A UNANIMOUS
RESOLUTION TO REVIEW THE WORLD'S
COVID-19 RESPONSE.
BUT THE W.H.O.'S ROLE IN THE 
EFFORT TO FIGHT THE PANDEMIC HAS
BEEN CRITICIZED BY ITS BIGGEST 
DONOR, THE UNITED STATES.
AS KATIE SIMPSON REPORTS, U.S. 
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S ATTACKS
ON THE ORGANIZATION COME WHILE 
HE FACES QUESTIONS ABOUT 
PROMOTING UNPROVEN TREATMENTS.
>> Reporter:  THE PRESIDENT IS 
THREATENING TO PERMANENTLY END 
ALL AMERICAN (INAUDIBLE) OF THE 
UNITED STATES ALL BECAUSE OF HIS
CONCERNS ABOUT ITS INITIALLY 
REACTION TO THE CORONAVIRUS 
OUTBREAK.
IN A FOUR-PAGE LETTER, THE 
PRESIDENT POSTED TO TWITTER AT 
11:00 AT NIGHT ON MONDAY.
HE OUTLINED A NUMBER OF 
GRIEVANCES, MAINLY THAT THE 
ORGANIZATION DIDN'T DO ENOUGH TO
PRESS CHINA FOR ANSWERS IN THE 
EARLY STAGES OF THE RESPONSE.
>> President Donald Trump: THE 
LETTER IS VERY DETAILED, LONG 
LETTER, BUT BASICALLY, THEY HAVE
TO CLEAN UP THEIR ACT.
THEY HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB.
THEY HAVE TO BE MUCH MORE FAIR 
TO OTHER COUNTRIES INCLUDING THE
UNITED STATES OR WE'RE NOT GOING
TO BE INVOLVED WITH THEM 
ANYMORE.
WE'LL DO IT A SEPARATE WAY. 
>> Reporter:  THE PRESIDENT'S 
ARGUMENT WAS UNDERMINED WHEN ONE
OF HIS CLAIMS WAS PROVEN TO BE 
FACTUALLY INCORRECT.
HE CLAIMED THAT THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION IGNORED SOME 
PUBLICATIONS IN LEADING MEDICAL 
JOURNALS INCLUDING THE LANCETT.
HOWEVER, THAT PUBLICATION SAID 
IT DID NOT MAKE ANY PUBLICATIONS
ON THE CORONAVIRUS UNTIL LATE 
JANUARY, UNLIKE WHAT THE 
PRESIDENT HAD SAID, THAT THE 
PUBLICATIONS WERE ACTUALLY 
HAPPENING IN DECEMBER.
SO THE LANCETT SAYS THAT IS NOT 
TRUE.
DONALD TRUMP IS ALSO FACING 
ADDITIONAL SCRUTINY AFTER 
VOLUNTEERING PUBLICLY THAT HE IS
TAKING HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE, AN 
UNPROVEN ANTIMALARIA DRUG THAT'S
ALSO USED TO TREAT CONDITIONS 
INCLUDING LUPUS AS A WAY TO 
PREVENT CONTRACTING COVID-19.
THERE IS NO SCIENCE TO BACK UP 
THAT THIS DRUG HAS ANY SORT OF 
EFFECT ON EITHER FIGHTING THE 
VIRUS OR PREVENTING THE VIRUS.
HOWEVER, HIS PRESS SECRETARY 
DEFENDED THE DECISION TODAY. 
>> ANY USE OF HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE
HAS TO BE IN CONSULTATION WITH 
YOUR DOCTOR.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE PRESCRIPTION.
THAT BEING SAID, I TALKED TO THE
FDA COMMISSIONER THIS MORNING, 
STEPHEN HAHN.
HE SAID HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE HAS 
BEEN APPROVED FOR THREE OTHER 
USES.
WE HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION 
ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS DRUG, 
THOUGH ULTIMATELY YOU MAKE THAT 
DECISION WITH YOUR DOCTOR.
>> Reporter:  DOCTORS AND PUBLIC
HEALTH EXPERTS HAVE BEEN GOING 
ON CABLE NEWS NETWORKS AS WELL 
AS REGULAR NEWS PLATFORMS TRYING
TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT THAT 
THERE ARE SOME DANGEROUS SIDE 
EFFECTS THAT COME WITH THIS DRUG
AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT JUST BE 
TAKEN OUTSIDE OF A CONTROLLED 
SETTING.

>> Anita:  IT'S BEEN ONE MONTH 
SINCE A RAMPAGE BY A GUNMAN IN 
NOVA SCOTIA LEFT 22 PEOPLE DEAD.
NOW NEWLY UNSEALED COURT 
DOCUMENTS ARE OFFERING MORE 
INSIGHT INTO THOSE KILLINGS.
A PROVINCIAL JUDGE AGREED TO 
RELEASE 40 PAGES OF REDACTED 
RECORDS AFTER CBC WENT TO COURT 
TO GET ACCESS TO THE 
INFORMATION.
>> Reporter:  POLICE INTERVIEWED
PEOPLE WHO KNEW GABRIEL WORTMAN 
OR ENCOUNTERED HIM ON APRIL 18TH
AND 19TH.
THE PICTURE THAT'S EMERGING IS 
ONE OF A MAN WHO BOASTED ABOUT 
WEAPONS AND WAS KNOWN TO BE 
ABUSIVE.
SOMEONE DESCRIBED HIM AS WEALTHY
AND PARANOID.
ONE PERSON TOLD POLICE HE WAS A 
PSYCHOPATH WHO HAD BEEN SEVERELY
ABUSED AS A CHILD.
SEVERAL PEOPLE SPOKE TO RCMP 
ABOUT HOW WORTMAN KEPT PLENTY OF
GUNS AND AMMUNITION AT HIS 
PROPERTIES IN PORTAPIQUE.
THEY SAID HE HAD SECURITY 
SYSTEMS AND RECENTLY STOCKPILED 
ABOUT $800 WORTH OF GASOLINE.
ONE WITNESS TOLD POLICE THEY HAD
PREVIOUSLY HEARD THE GUNMAN TALK
ABOUT GETTING RID OF BODIES AND 
THAT HE STORED CHEMICALS UNDER 
HIS DECK.
THE DOCUMENTS ALSO OFFERED 
DETAILS ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF 
THE RAMPAGE.
HIS COMMON-LAW SPOUSE TOLD 
POLICE THEY'D BE FACETIMING WITH
FRIENDS BEFORE AN ARGUMENT THAT 
LED TO HIM ASSAULTING HER.
SHE SAID SHE SAW HIM POUR 
ACCELERANT OF THE COTTAGE THEY 
SHARED, A WAREHOUSE HE OWNED AS 
WELL AS SEVERAL VEHICLES.
SHORTLY AFTER, TWO OTHER PEOPLE 
SAW A BUILDING BURNING, CALLED 
911, AND DROVE UP TO THE 
PORTAPIQUE PROPERTY.
THERE A MAN, WHO APPEARED TO BE 
AN RCMP OFFICER, DROVE UP 
ALONGSIDE THEM AND STARTED 
FIRING.
A MAN WAS INJURED, A SECOND 
PERSON WAS NOT.
THAT PAIR REPORTED TO POLICE 
THAT THEY BELIEVE THE SHOOTER 
WAS WORTMAN.
THAT WAS ABOUT 12 HOURS BEFORE 
RCMP SENT OUT A TWITTER ALERT 
ASKING THE PUBLIC TO KEEP AN EYE
OUT FOR HIM IN A REPLICA RCMP 
VEHICLE.
THE CHARRED PROPERTIES LEFT 
LITTLE FOR INVESTIGATORS TO COMB
THROUGH, SO RCMP BROUGHT IN A 
FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGIST TO HELP.
THE COURT DOCUMENTS ALSO DETAIL 
THE FIVE FIREARMS POLICE FOUND 
IN THE VEHICLE THE KILLER WAS 
DRIVING WHEN HE WAS SHOT DEAD IN
ENFIELD.
HE HAD CONSTABLE STEPHENSON'S 
SERVICE PISTOL, WHICH WAS 
MISSING TWO MAGAZINES.
POLICE SAID THEY INTERVIEWED 500
WITNESSES ABOUT THE RAMPAGE THAT
KILLED 22 PEOPLE.

IT'S BOTH EXHILARATING AND 
TERRIFYING.

THE NEW DOME NOW THE SIZE OF A 
STADIUM SITS IN THE CENTRE OF 
THE CRATER NOW 3 KILOMETRES 
WIDE.
THE MOUNTAIN HAS BECOME THE

DEVASTATION AND THE PROBLEMS 
IT'S STILL CAUSING.

HARRY TRUMAN OWNED A CABIN ON

KILLED ALONG WITH 63 OTHERS.
HIS BODY LIES UNDERNEATH TONS OF
DEBRIS.
THE SAME DEBRIS THAT CLOGGED THE
LAKE.
THE UNSTABLE DAM THREATENED TO 
BREAK AND FLOOD THE LOCAL AREA 
AGAIN.
IT TOOK $27 MILLION TO BORE A 
TUNNEL THAT GAVE THE LAKE A NEW 
DRAIN.
AND THAT'S ONLY THE BEGINNING OF
THE PROBLEMS.
THIS COUPLE KEEPS A 24-HOUR 
WATCH ON THE FLOW OF THE RIVER.
AN ERUPTION COULD CAUSE THE 
SNOWPACK TO MELT ON THE MOUNTAIN
AND A MAJOR FLOOD COULD HAPPEN.
IN FACT, THE THREAT OF FLOODING 
EXTENDS FAR DOWN THE RIVERS.
IN KELSO, 60 KILOMETRES AWAY, 
IT'S A CONSTANT SUBJECT OF 
CONCERN.
PHIL ST. JEAN KNOWS HIS HOUSE 
COULD END UP UNDER 40 FEET OF 
MUD IF ST. HELEN'S ERUPTS AGAIN.
>> MAY NOT BE HERE IF IT ERUPTS 
AGAIN.
I SPENT A LOT OF TIME HERE.
HATE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN. 
>> Reporter:  THE RIVER BEDS 
HAVE RISEN FORCING THE 
COMMUNITIES TO RAISE THE LEVEL 
OF THEIR DIKES OR INSTALL NEW 
ONES.
TO GO TO THE LOCAL COURTHOUSE, 
YOU NOW HAVE TO CLIMB AN EXTRA 
SET OF STAIRS.
>> MOST DISASTERS ARE HERE TODAY
AND OVER TOMORROW, AND YOU START
TO REBUILD.
HERE WE ARE ALMOST FIVE YEARS 
DOWN THE ROAD, AND WE'RE STILL 
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DEAL
WITH THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WE HAVE
GOT, AND THAT'S TRAPPING AND 
HOLDING AN INFINITE SOURCE OF 
SEDIMENT AT ITS SITE. 
>> Reporter:  A FIFTH OF THE 
SHIPPING FROM THE WEST COAST 
FROM THE UNITED STATES MOVES 
PAST THIS POINT.
THE SEDIMENT CLOGS THE SHIPPING 
LANES AND DREDGING GOES ON ALL 
WINTER LONG.
BY ITSELF IT HAS COST $250 
MILLION.
IN TOTAL SO FAR, MOUNT 
ST. HELEN'S HAVE COST THEM 600 
MILLION AND THEY WANT TO SPEND 
ANOTHER 300 MILLION TO BUILD A 
SPECIAL DAM CLOSE TO THE VOLCANO
TO HOLD BACK ALL THE SEDIMENT. 
>> I WENT UP THERE A LITTLE 
WHILE AGO, ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND
IT'S BAD.
BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES.
I DID HAVE SUCH GOOD TIMES UP 
THERE. 
>> Reporter:  VEGETATION IS 
MAKING A COMEBACK, THOUGH, AND 
SO IS WILDLIFE.
BUT THE PROCESS OF RENEWAL IS 
JUST BARELY STARTED.
SOMEHOW LOOKING AT THIS MOUNTAIN
ONE FEELS THAT TIME HERE IS 
SIMPLY NOT A CONCERN.
THE SCALE OF THINGS HERE IS JUST
OVERWHELMING.

JUST TWO MORE CASES OF COVID-19 
CONFIRMED IN BC IN THE LAST 24 
HOURS.
THAT BRINGS OUR TOTAL TO NEARLY 
2,450.
UNFORTUNATELY, THREE MORE PEOPLE
HAVE DIED, MAKING 146 DEATHS IN 
TOTAL.
>> STAYING VIGILANT IS EVEN MORE
IMPORTANT AS WE EASE THESE 
RESTRICTIONS AND WE START TO 
INTERACT AGAIN BOTH IN OUR 
SOCIAL INTERACTIONS BUT ALSO IN 
BUSINESS.
>> Anita:  AS BC MOVES INTO 
PHASE TWO OF ITS COVID-19 
RESTART PLAN, A FIRM REMINDER 
FROM PROVINCIAL HEALTH OFFICER 
Dr. BONNIE HENRY FOR BUSINESSES.
FOLLOW THE NEW HEALTH AND SAFETY
GUIDELINES AS YOU REOPEN.
STARTING TODAY, RESTAURANTS, 
HAIR SALONS, AND MEDICALLY 
RELATED SERVICES LIKE DENTISTRY 
AND PHYSIOTHERAPY ARE JUST SOME 
SECTORS NOW ALLOWED TO OPERATE 
UNDER THE NEW RULES.
>> Mike:  AND MANY RECREATIONAL 
CENTRES AND GYMS ALSO REOPENED 
TODAY.
>> Anita:  GREG RASMUSSEN HIT 
THE GYM TO FIND OUT WHAT WORKING
OUT IN A PANDEMIC LOOKS LIKE.
>> Reporter:  IT'S BACK TO THE 
GYM, BUT WITH CONDITIONS.
>> STRAIGHT TO THE BACK ROOM, 
OKAY, IF YOU CAN. 
>> Reporter:  THERE IS HAND 
WASHING AND THE EQUIPMENT IS 
CLEANED BEFORE THE WORKOUTS CAN 
BEGIN.
>> LIKE, TEN ON ONE LEG AND THEN
SWITCH. 
>> Reporter:  CLIENTS HAVE A SET
SPACE AND THE TRAINER KEEPS BACK
TOO. 
>> LIKE A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE 
THOUGHT PERSONAL TRAINING WAS 
WE'RE TOUCHING.
YOU ARE NOT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO. 
>> Reporter:  THE OWNER HOPES 
THE PRECAUTIONS WILL BE ENOUGH. 
>> A LITTLE BIT OF, LIKE, 
NERVOUSNESS STILL.
BUT MORE EXCITED NERVOUSNESS, I 
GUESS, BECAUSE WE HAVE DONE WHAT
WE CAN.
>> YOU ARE LIKE THIS, OKAY?
>> Reporter:  MANY CLIENTS 
SWITCHED TO ONLINE PERSONAL 
TRAINING, BUT PREFER BEING AT 
THE GYM.
>> FOR ME, I THINK IT'S REALLY 
IMPORTANT TO STAY PHYSICALLY 
ACTIVE, AND SO BEING A PART OF 
THIS GYM AND THIS COMMUNITY IS 
WORTH THAT RISK.
>> HAPPY TO BE BACK AND DOING 
SOMETHING PHYSICAL AND GET MY 
MIND OFF EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN 
GOING ON.

>> Reporter:  GROUP ACTIVITIES, 
IT'S MORE COMPLICATED THERE.
TAKE SPIN CLASSES.
USUALLY DONE IN TIGHT CLUSTERS.
THIS VANCOUVER COMPANY WAS 
SWAMPED WITH DEMAND WHEN IT 
ANNOUNCED IT WAS REOPENING.
BUT IT'S HAD TO RELOCATE TO A 
WAREHOUSE TO ACCOMMODATE 
PHYSICAL DISTANCING.
>> SO WE HAVE INTRODUCED THE 
COMEBACK TOUR AND SOLD OUT 
WITHIN FIVE MINUTES IN VANCOUVER
FOR THE FIRST WEEK.
AND WAIT LIST IS THROUGH THE 
ROOF. 
>> Reporter:  OFFICIALS SAY 
TRANSMISSION RATES HAVE GONE 
DOWN IN BC FOR GYMS AND OTHER 
BUSINESSES TO REOPEN.
>> IT'S THE NEW NORMAL.
WE CAN DO THINGS.
WE CAN GO BACK TO DOING THINGS 
THAT WE DID BEFORE, BUT IN A 
DIFFERENT WAY.
>> Reporter:  FOR BUSINESS 
OWNERS, DIFFERENT MEANS FEWER 
CUSTOMERS AT ONE TIME AND LESS 
PROFIT.
DESPITE RESTRICTIONS BEING 
EASED, MANY FITNESS CENTRES IN 
BC REMAIN SHUTTERED INCLUDING 
THOSE RUN BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
BUT FOR ENTHUSIASTS, TODAY'S 
MOVE IS WELCOME.

FEEL SAFE AGAIN JUNIOR HIGH AS 
SUSAN ORMISTON REPORTS, THERE IS
HOPE NEW CLEANING TECHNOLOGY 
WILL HELP.
>> Reporter:  OPEN SKIES BUT 
FRIGHTENED FLYERS.
THE FUTURE OF FLYING HAS TO BE 
RADICALLY DIFFERENT.
JUST LOOK AT D.C.'S REAGAN 
NATIONAL ON A WEEKDAY MORNING.
MORE CLEANERS AND STAFF THAN 
PASSENGERS.
AIRPORT RESTAURANTS DARK.
AVIATION HAS TAKEN A PUNCH TO 
THE GUT. 
>> IT'S UNLIKE ANYTHING WE HAVE

OUR AIRPORTS ARE EMPTY.
THE REVENUE HAS -- HAS ALMOST 
COMPLETELY STOPPED.

SCREENING LINE FOR ONE 
WIDE-BODIED AIRCRAFT. 
>> Reporter:  GET READY FOR MORE
TOUCHLESS TRAVEL.
THESE KINDS OF KIOSKS MIGHT 
DISAPPEAR OR GET A SANITIZED 
PROTECTIVE COATING.
IN THE FUTURE, YOUR PHONE WILL 
BE EVEN MORE IMPORTANT.
THEY'LL USE BIOMETRICS LIKE 
FACIAL RECOGNITION IN MANY 
PLACES FROM CHECK-IN TO 
BOARDING.
>>> AIRPORTS AND AIRLINES ARE IN
A DESPERATE RACE TO COME UP WITH
A KIND OF SANITATION SECURITY.
AT HONG KONG AIRPORT, SPRAYING 
ANTI-MICROBIAL COATING ON ALL 
THE PLACES WE FREQUENTLY TOUCH.
TESTING CLEAN TECH.
A BOOTH WHICH CHECKS YOUR 
TEMPERATURE AND LIGHTLY SPRAYS 
YOU WITH DISINFECTANT.
CLEANING NOW COULD GO ROBOTIC, 
LIKE IN PITTSBURGH, TRYING TO 
OUT SCRUBBERS RETROFITTED WITH 
UVC LIGHT. 
>> IT'S BEEN USED IN HOSPITAL 
FOR DECADES AS A WAY TO 
DISINFECTANT AND KILL 
MICRO-ORGANISMS.
THE PASSENGERS NEED TO KNOW IT'S
CLEAN. 
>> Reporter:  AIRPORTS MIGHT 
CONSIDER SANITATION PORTALS, 
LIKE THIS ONE USING FAR UVC 
LIGHT, EXPERIMENTAL MEANT TO 
SAFELY KILL VIRUSES ON THE BODY,
NOT YET FDA APPROVED.
ON THE PLANES, PREPARE FOR 
FLIGHT ATTENDANTS IN MASKS OR A

UNITED AIRLINES WILL USE 
ELECTROSTATIC SPRAY BEFORE EVERY

EMERGED OF PACKED FLIGHTS.
HOW ABOUT A PLASTIC SHIELD 
BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR SEAT MATE, 
DEVELOPED BY AN ITALIAN DESIGN 
COMPANY. 
>> IT'S A SORT OF OF A SHIELD, A
PLASTIC SHIELD.
TO BE GIVEN TO THE PASSENGERS.
SAME AS YOUR PILLOW OR EVEN THE 
BLANKET.
TO BE PUT ON AFTER TAKEOFF. 
>> Reporter:  SO WHEN YOU 
DESIGNED IT, WHAT WERE YOU 
TRYING TO DO?
>> SAME AS YOUR MASK.
TRYING TO LIMIT THE DEEP BREATH 
PROPAGATION. 
>> Reporter:  IT'S PORTABLE, 
COULD BE STORED IN A SANITIZED 
ENVELOPE UNDER THE SEAT.
LONGER TERM, THE COMPANY HAS 
DESIGNED A REAR-FACING MIDDLE 
SEAT FOR SANITATION AND PRIVACY.
FOR NOW, MASKS ARE MAN DATED IN 
CANADIAN AIRPORTS AND STRONGLY 
URGED ON ALL AIRCRAFT.
SOME COMFORT FOR THE BREWER 
FAMILY, TRAVELLING HOME, WITH 
DAVID STAYING BEHIND TO WORK. 
>> THE RISK IS THERE, BUT YOU 
HAVE TO KEEP LIVING LIFE.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LIVE WITH
THIS FOR A WHILE.

>> Anita:  STRONG CYCLONE IS

>> Mike:  AND AT 6:42, A LIVE 
LOOK AT SUNNY DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER
TONIGHT.
WE STAYED DRY HERE ON THE SOUTH

CHANGE.
BRETT IS GOING TO TELL US WH 
THE RAIN WILL RETURN NEXT.
[♪♪♪]
>> FUNG L NETWORKS RIGHT HERE.
LOOK AT THAT.
WOW.
THAT'S THE BIG INTERNET.
>> I STARTED LOOKING AT 
BELOW-GROUND ECOSYSTEMS AND 
DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS THIS 
INTERNET OF FUNGI, WHICH ARE 
MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL AND CONNECT 
THE TREES TOGETHER.
AND IT'S HIGHWAYS FOR MOVEMENT 
OF INFORMATION AND RESOURCES AND
WATER FROM TREE TO TREE.
WE WENT ON TO MAP WHAT THIS 
FUNGAL HIGHWAY OR NETWORK LOOKED
LIKE UNDERGROUND, AND WE FOUND 
THAT THE MOST HIGHLY CONNECTED 
TREES WERE THE BIGGEST, OLDEST 
TREES.
WE EVEN WENT ON TO FIND OUT THAT
THEY CAN RECOGNIZE WHICH 
SEEDLINGS ARE THEIR OWN, THEIR 
KIN.
SO THIS LED US TO START CALLING 
THEM MOTHER TREES, BECAUSE OF 
ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY DO IN 
THE FOREST.
AND THE IDEA OF THAT IS TRY TO 
PROTECT USING THIS EXPERIMENT, 
HOW RETENSE OF OLD TREES WILL 
BECOME MORE IMPORTANT AS CLIMATE
STRESSES OUR FORESTS AND WE'RE 
ACTUALLY FINDING IN OUR EARLY 
RESULTS THAT IN THE SEEDLINGS 
THAT WE HAVE PLANTED UNDER THE 
FOREST, THAT THE MORE OLD TREES 
THAT WE RETAIN IN HARSHER 
CLIMATES, THE BETTER OFF THE 
SEEDLINGS ARE DOING.
SO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A CLEAR
CUT.
THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE OF OUR 
EXPERIMENTAL CLEAR CUTS.
IT'S ABOUT 5 HECTARES IN SIZE.
IT'S A SMALL ONE COMPARED TO 
WHAT'S DONE IN OPERATIONS.
BUT THIS IS TYPICAL.
[♪♪♪]
>> YOU KNOW, AS CARBON GETS 
STORED IN THE SOIL FROM THE TREE
INTO THE FUNGI AND THE BACTERIA,
THAT CARBON EVENTUALLY MOVES 
DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THE SOIL.
CARBON POOLS THAT ARE THE MOST 
STABLE SINKS FOR CO2.
IT'S REALLY CRUCIAL IN FORESTRY 
THAT WE LEARN HOW TO PROTECT 
THAT.
IF ALL THAT CARBON IN THE SOIL 
ALSO WENT INTO THE ATMOSPHERE, 
CLIMATE CHANGE WOULD SPEED UP 
REALLY, REALLY FAST.
SO THOSE FOREST PRACTICES REALLY
NEED TO STRIVE TO PROTECT THAT.
AND WHAT WE THINK IS THAT 
PARTIAL RETAINING THESE MOTHER 
TREES, PARTIAL RETENTION OF THE 
TREES IN THE FOREST, ACTUALLY 
HELPS KEEP IT IN THE EARTH.
YOU KNOW, THE ENGINEERS, FOR 
EXAMPLE, ARE TRYING TO FIGURE 
OUT WAYS TO CAPTURE CARBON AND 
STORE IT BELOW GROUND USING THE 
FANCY TECHNOLOGY, BUT HERE THESE
TREES, THEY DO IT.
THEY HAVE EVOLVED FOR MILLIONS 
OF YEARS TO DO THIS, THROUGH 
PHOTO SYNTHESIS.
IT'S THE MOST INGENIOUS, HIGHLY 
SPECIALIZED MECHANISM ALREADY.
THERE IS A RECOGNITION THAT 
CLEAR CUTTING ISN'T -- FORESTERS
KNOW THIS.
WE HAVE MANY INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS
WHO ARE LOOKING AT ALTERNATIVES.
THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW TO DO A 
BETTER JOB.
YOU KNOW, AS CLIMATE CHANGE IS 
REALLY AFFECTING MORE AND MORE 
PEOPLE AND WE'RE RECOGNIZING 
THAT WE HAVE GOT TO DO SOMETHING
NOW, THAT -- I THINK THAT THIS 
IS GOING TO BE ADOPTED AT A MUCH
FASTER RATE IN THE VERY NEAR 
FUTURE.
WE'RE COMING -- IT'S COMING.
THE TIME IS NOW, AND PEOPLE ARE 
READY FOR IT.

NOT GOING TO HOLD AGAINST A 
CYCLONE AT ALL.
THERE IS NO WAY.
IT ISN'T GOING TO WORK.
WORSEN THINGS.
SO IT'S GOING TO WORSEN THE

BRETT SODERHOLM JOINS US NOW 
WITH OUR FORECAST.
BUT YOU ARE ALSO TRACKING THAT 
STORM OVERSEAS AS WELL, BRETT.
A VERY POWERFUL ONE AND LANDFALL
RIGHT NOW IS LOOKING ABOUT 
ANYWHERE BETWEEN 8 TO 12 HOURS 
AWAY.
SO THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON 
HIGH ALERT AND I DID WANT TO 
TAKE THE TIME JUST TO SHOW YOU 
THE SCALE OF THIS STORM THROUGH 
A LOOK AT OUR SATELLITE IMAGERY 
RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE IT IS STILL 
QUITE A LARGE STORM.
THAT SWIRLING MASS OF CLOUDS YOU
CAN SEE ALONG THE EASTERN COAST 
OF INDIA, THAT IS THE STORM IN 
QUESTION AND RIGHT NOW, IT WOULD
BE THE EQUIVALENT OF A CATEGORY 
3 HURRICANE.
ABOUT 185 KILOMETRES AN HOUR 
WOULD BE ITS SUSTAINED WINDS AND
IT IS STEADILY MAKING ITS WAY TO
THE NORTH AND APPROACHING THE 
CAPITAL OF WEST BENGAL.
NOW, AT THIS POINT, WE ARE 
EXPECTING IT TO BE MAKING 
LANDFALL SOMETIME ON WEDNESDAY 
AFTERNOON OR EVENING LOCAL TIME,
WHICH WILL BE VERY EARLY IN THE 
MORNING FOR US OVER HERE, BUT, 
OF COURSE, CONCERN WITH THIS IS 
THE CATASTROPHIC FLOODING THAT 
IS LIKELY TO OCCUR, OWING TO THE
REGION BEING LOW IN ELEVATION.
IT WILL DISSIPATING BY THURSDAY 
AS IT ENCOUNTERS THE TERRAIN.
BACK ON THIS SIDE OF THE WORLD, 
IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION, 
FORTUNATELY SEEING NOTHING, 
ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT WE ARE 
EXPECTING A FEW SCATTERED 
SHOWERS AS I MENTIONED 
THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.
OTHER PLACES IN BC ARE GOING TO 
BE REMAINING UNSETTLED AS WELL.
IN PARTICULAR, THIS WOULD BE 
INCLUDING THE KOOTENAYS.
I WOULD EXPECT PLACES LIKE 
CRANBROOK AND NELSON TO BE 
GETTING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5, 10, 
MAYBE EVEN 15 MILLIMETRES OF 
RAIN TOMORROW WITH THE FACT THAT
WE COULD BE SEEING A FEW 
EMBEDDED THUNDERSHOWERS.
FARTHER TO THE NORTH, PLACES 
LIKE PRINCE GEORGE AND THE 
CARIBOO AND PLACES LIKE THE 
PEACE ARE EXPECTING A FEW 
SHOWERS AS WELL BUT NOT NEARLY 
AS HEAVY IN THOSE REGIONS.
ALL OF THIS RAIN, THOUGH, IS A 
POSITIVE STORY FOR OUR FIRE 
DANGER RATING.
WE ARE LOOKING AT THE RETURN TO 
A MUCH LOWER RATING RIGHT NOW.
ANYWHERE BETWEEN LOW OR VERY LOW
FOR MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
BC.
AND NOT ONLY IS THE RAIN HELPING
WITH THIS, BUT THE COOLER 
TEMPERATURES AS WELL PLAY A 
REALLY IMPORTANT PART.
OVER THAT, THE NEXT COUPLE OF 
DAYS, WE'RE GOING TO SEE FAIRLY 
WARM TEMPERATURES INTO THE 
OKANAGAN ON WEDNESDAY BUT BY 
THURSDAY, THE ENTIRE SOUTHERN 
HALF OF BC IS GOING TO BE 
DROPPING OFF BY A GOOD SOLID 5º.
IN VANCOUVER, THAT'S NOT GOING 
TO BE TOO FAR OFF OF OUR NORMAL.
BUT FOR THE DAYS AHEAD, IF WE 
LOOK AT A FIVE-DAY FORECAST, IT 
IS GOING TO BE REMAINING FAIRLY 
UNSETTLED.
WE HAVE BEEN TREATED TO A COUPLE
OF PRETTY NICE DAYS WITH LOTS OF
SUNSHINE, BUT AS I SAID, WE'RE 
GOING TO BE EXPECTING A FEW 
SHOWERS THROUGHOUT WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY.
RIGHT NOW, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A 
LITTLE BIT FAR AWAY, BOTH FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY ARE LOOKING LIKE TO
HAVE A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD.
BUT I SHOULD EXPECT A LITTLE BIT
MORE RAIN TO END OFF THIS 
UPCOMING WEEKEND AS WELL. 
>> Mike:  OH, BOY.
THANK YOU, BRETT.
>> Anita:  WELL, SHE REGULARLY 
CROSSES THE CANADA-U.S. BORDER, 
PICKING UP AND DELIVERING THE 
GOODS AND PRODUCTS WE NEED 
DURING THE PANDEMIC.
THIS TRUCKER ALSO BROUGHT ALONG 
HER CAMERA.
HER VIDEO DIRY NEXT.

>> Anita:  SHE KEPT A VIDEO

[♪♪♪]
>> MY NAME IS HOLLY NOBEL.
I'M 28 YEARS OLD.
I LIVE IN WINDSOR, ONTARIO, AND 
I AM A TRUCK DRIVER.
BY THE END OF THE DAY, I WILL 
HAVE CROSSED THE BRIDGE FOUR 
TIMES, BEEN INTO MICHIGAN TWICE.
IT'S ABOUT A 12-HOUR DAY, GIVE 
OR TAKE.
I GOT MY LYSOL WIPES, WHICH I 
WAS HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME 
FINDING IN STORES.
THAT'S BEEN A LITTLE HARD.
SO I AM PULLING OFF TO U.S. 
CUSTOMS RIGHT NOW.
AND I HAVE GOT MY GLOVES, I'M 
GOING TO GO THROUGH CUSTOMS, 
TAKE MY STUFF OFF, TAKE OUT A 
WIPE, WIPE DOWN MY STEERING 
WHEEL AGAIN, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
MAKES ME FEEL SAFE.
[♪♪♪]
>> FRIDAY.
IT'S -- WHAT TIME IS IT -- 
ALMOST 6:00.
I JUST CROSSED THE AMBASSADOR 
BRIDGE BACK INTO WINDSOR.
NOW I'M HEADED UP TO LONDON, 
ONTARIO.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO AVOID 
TRUCK STOPS UNLESS I HAVE TO 
REFUEL MYRUCK, BUT SOMETIMES I
NEED TO GO IN, BUT I'M PREPARED.
I HAVE GOT MY MASK ON.
I HAVE MY GLOVES RIGHT HERE 
BESIDE ME.
I'M GOING TO PUT THOSE ON ONCE I
GET WHAT I NEED OUT OF MY 
WALLET.
AND WHEN I'M DONE, I'M GOING TO 
COME OUT, TAKE THINGS OFF BEFORE
I TOUCH ANYTHING IN THE TRUCK 
AND SANITIZE MY HANDS, AND I'M 
GOING TO HIT THE ROAD.
THE PUT ON A TRUE CRIME PODCAST,
MAYBE LISTEN TO MUSIC FOR MY 
TWO-HOUR TRIP TO LONDON AND JUST
ENJOY THIS NICE DAY.
I'M IN LONDON.
I'M AT MY SECOND STOP TODAY.
NOW I AM HEADED BACK TO RAHMU 
LUES, WHERE I WILL BE DROPPING 
MY TRAILER IN A DOCK AND THEN I 
GET TO FOXTAIL HOME.
PRETTY EXCITED.
USUALLY DURING THE WEEK IT'S 
NICE TO HAVE THOSE SERVICE 
STATIONS BECAUSE YOU CAN GO IN 
THERE AND YOU CAN LOUNGE AROUND 
AND YOU COULD TAKE A BREAK THERE
INSTEAD OF SITTING IN YOUR TRUCK
ALL DAY.
IT GETS A LITTLE STUFFY, IT GETS
A LITTLE, I DON'T KNOW, YOUR 
BACK HURTS A LITTLE BIT AFTER A 
WHILE.
I HAVE TO SAY IT'S REALLY 
SURREAL DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY
AND SEEING SIGNS SAYING PREVENT 
COVID-19, STAY HOME.
YOU KNOW, IT'S ALSO BEEN REALLY 
HARD NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE MY 
FAMILY.
I'M VERY FAMILY-ORIENTED, AND I 
HAVEN'T SEEN THEM IN MONTHS.
YOU KNOW, I'M ALONE A LOT.
AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT.
BUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE 
PEOPLE I LOVE HAS REALLY TAKEN A
TOLL ON MY MENTAL HEALTH.
OVERALL, SUCCESSFUL WEEK.
I WAS SAFE.
I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT I'M GOING 
TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE AS WELL.
BECAUSE OF ALL THE PRECAUTIONS 
THAT I HAVE BEEN TAKING.
AND I'M READY TO GO HOME, GET 
SOME WELL-NEEDED REST, AND, YOU 
KNOW, START BACK AT IT ON 
MONDAY.
[♪♪♪]
>> Anita:  NICE TO SEE WHAT 
HAPPENS.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ACROSS
CANADA, CROSSING THE BORDER 
EVERY DAY. 
>> Mike:  YES. 
>> Anita:  THERE ARE MANY 
ESSENTIAL WORKERS WHO HAVE TO GO
ACROSS. 
>> Mike:  YES.
AND WE APPRECIATE WHAT THEY DO, 
FOR CERTAIN, AND, OF COURSE, 
WITH THE EXTENSION OF THE 
CROSS-BORDER TRAVEL NOW 
CONTINUING UNTIL JUNE 21ST, 
SHE'LL BE DOING THAT SAME GOOD 
WORK ALONG WITH, AS YOU SAY, 
OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. 
>> Anita:  NO LINE-UPS AT ALL, 
EVER. 
[ Laughter ]
>> Mike:  EXACTLY.
>> Anita:  THAT'S IT FOR OUR 
PROGRAM TONIGHT'S.
YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND IT ONLINE 
cbc.ca/bc, AND DAN IS HERE AT 
11:00 AFTER "THE NATIONAL."
BEFORE YOU GO. 
>> Mike:  WHAT DO YOU GOT?
>> Anita:  WELL, I WAS GOING TO 
LET YOU INTRODUCE THESE. 
>> Mike:  YES, LOOK AT THIS.
WE ARE GOING TO LEAVE YOU 
TONIGHT WITH ANOTHER LOOK AT 
THREE OWLETS, BABY GREY-HORNED 
OWLS.
THESE ARE UP IN THE OKANAGAN.
THIS WAS THEIR FINAL DAY IN THE 
NEST.
AND THEY WERE GETTING A LITTLE 
FEISTY.
>> Anita:  ONE DECIDING TO CLIMB
ON TOP OF THE OTHER!
[ Laughter ]
>> Anita:  AND BY THE AFTERNOON,
THEY HAD CLIMBED OUT OF THE 
NEST, OUT ON TO THE BRANCHES OF 
THE TREE.
SURE SIGN THEY WERE SOON HEADING
INTO THE SKIES.
I JUST LOVE HOW FLUFFY THEY ARE.
>> Mike:  I THINK HE IS GOING TO
CLIECHLT HE IS CLIMBING. 
>> Anita:  IT'S COMING.
[ Laughter ]
>> Mike:  I THINK HE JUST PASSED
OUT.
[ Laughter ]
>> Mike:  GREAT STUFF.
THANKS FOR WATCHING, TONIGHT.
>> Anita:  GOOD NIGHT. 
>> Mike:  SEE YOU TOMORROW.
