Looking Out For One Another

We hope that all are healthy and practicing best policies during this time.  We are in one of the best places on the planet in the best of times, and now, in the worst of times, we are still in the best place to be.  Rural communities, great fresh air, and great neighbors, families and friends to help out in times of need.

And that is what we want you to consider today.  Think of the folks that live nearby or within your own smaller community, give them a call and see if they are need.  This is a time when we can all help ensure that no one is without the assistance that they might need.

If they are in need, and you can safely help them that is wonderful.  If further assistance is required or you are unsure how to help, please message the Chinook Society or you can email LDLINK4HELP@gmail.com or call 250-251-1466 with the information.

Thanks to all of you for being great neighbors and awesome community members!  Stay Safe and Healthy!

COVID-19 update

The Province is at a critical time for containment of COVID-19 and steps need to be taken to prevent the spread of the virus in our community.

Guidelines from Northern Health and Health Canada include:

  • Increased cleaning and sterilization of surfaces
  • covering the mouth and nose during coughing or sneezing with a tissue or a flexed elbow and disposing of used tissues in a plastic-lined waste container, followed by hand washing,
  • hand washing with plain soap and water or a hand sanitizing gel that is at least 70% alcohol
  • anyone who is ill or has symptoms (sore throat, fever, cough, fatigue, and/or muscle aches) should stay home.
