In the midst of dual public health emergencies, the BC Coroners Service continues to urge extreme caution due to the increasingly toxic illicit drug supply in British Columbia.

Lisa Lapointe, chief coroner of the BC Coroners Service, has released the following statement regarding the death of Myles Gray:

The Province is expanding provincial COVID-19 ticket enforcement and workplace safety measures to keep British Columbians safe, as well as mitigate the effects on health-care systems, communities and the economy in the ongoing government response to COVID-19.

With the introduction of ICBC’s new Enhanced Care coverage next spring, drivers will save on average 20%, or approximately $400, on their full basic and optional vehicle insurance.

Signs of the holiday season are everywhere, as lights are strung on people’s homes and decorated trees stand in front windows.

North Shore Rescue is the first ground search and rescue organization approved to participate in a pilot project to help search and rescue groups extend their aerial search and transport operating hours using a night-vision imaging system (NVIS).

British Columbians will have the additional convenience of being able to renew their ICBC auto insurance online starting in May 2022.

Local governments and First Nations in B.C. stand to benefit from the renewal of a flood mitigation funding program.

As winter settles in and calls for search and rescue continue to rise, people are urged to plan and prepare before heading into B.C.’s backcountry.

The Province of British Columbia has formally extended the provincial state of emergency, allowing health and emergency management officials to continue to use extraordinary powers under the Emergency Program Act to support the Province's COVID-19 pandemic response.
