British Columbia is just under 75 percent immunization of the adult population. That’s 75 percent that has some immunization, be sure to get your second shot to make that 75 percent solid.. The health workers are vaccinating three hundred thousand a week at this point. This puts us within about 5 percent of a strong herd immunity. When complete (à static population with that much immunization would be mostly assured that it will not take off out of control .. Here’s hoping that this continues to a point of total breaking of the virus and its demonstrative end in BC.
Nothing taken for granted…
Variants and the unknown are still a concern. For a hope going forward caution with action is being applied. Vaccination is the key at this point
Invitations coming after eight weeks.
Invitations for the second dose are coming after 8 weeks from the 1st dose and the health people are relying on bookings to insure doses for each day are enough. A letter, email, or text will be delivered to all that got their number one shot..

Plan when planting and prune to a three meter gap from power limes. BC Hydro says power can jump a gap of up to 3 meters.
Three meters…
Electricity has the ability to arc across a gap from its source (the power line) and electrify objects within three metres. This can include you, the tools or ladder you’re using, and parts of the tree, leading to serious injury or even death. That’s why keeping a safe distance is always important.

Planting near power lines: BC Hydro
There are some special considerations when planting near power lines to help avoid potential issues, like the tree falling on the power line during a storm, or growing into the line.
Here are some important tips to follow before you purchase new trees or hedges for your property:
Research the height a tree or shrub will be when fully grown.
Select a variety that won’t interfere with the electrical equipment on or near your property.
Regularly prune trees and shrubs to keep them outside of the recommendation zones
Different trees for different space.
The three zones to be aware of before planting a new tree in your yard.
Right hight right light.
Low zone: This area extends five metres on either side of the power line. Trees planted here should have a maximum mature height of six metres or less.
Medium zone: This area extends from the edge of the low zone to a distance of 10 metres from the pole and power line. The maximum, mature height of trees in this zone should be 12 metres. Overheight trees in this zone cause the majority of outages.
Tall zone: Once you’re in an area more than 10 metres from power lines and poles, virtually any strong, healthy tree is fine to be planted in this area.

The UBCM is preparing for a union being a part of the RCMP future. The force has had trouble with the mixing of male female members and other issues relating to management problems. The force is at this time not a civil police force but retains much of its para military tone. However the BC government is concerned over the costs involved in wage parity and and salary demands that are thought to go with unionization.
