The international climate change report has more bad news for the west coast.
Sherilee Harper of the University of Alberta and one of the 330 authors of the summary report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, there will be impacts on human health and well-being.
She says fleeing wildfires and flooding caused by climate change imposes mental-health costs.
Harper says those costs can also be indirect — the toll on farmers, for example, of not knowing what to expect from the weather or what crops would grow best.
The B.C. Wildfire Service lists the current wildfire danger as low across most of the Kamloops Fire Centre, where at least six major fires have destroyed homes in several communities.
Two westbound lanes are currently closed and motorists can expect delays while police investigate. Motorists can monitor DriveBC.ca with respect to the delay.
The victim was taken to hospital with serious non-life threatening injuries. Police believe the assault occurred in the area of the 10600-block on 135A Street.
The Liberal government asked the court in June to affirm a prohibition on disclosure of records concerning dismissal of the scientists from Canada’s highest-security laboratory.
The number of active infections is up to nearly 5,300, with about 58 per cent located in the Interior Health region. There are 111 people in hospital, an increase of seven since Monday, including 51 in intensive care.
Police were in the area for two hours and in that short time issued 41 violation tickets and one impaired driver was taken off the streets through a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition and a 30-day vehicle impound.
