As British Columbians head into another weekend and the fall months ahead, Dr. Henry and Minister Dix, reinforced their oft stated themes of standing together to tackle the present challenges delivered by COVID.
“In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, our strength – as a province, as communities and as individual people – has been in all of us working together as one.
We know COVID-19 has not been without challenge and loss. But we are working each day to find the balance of keeping new cases low and slow to protect those who are most vulnerable, while keeping our communities going.
There are thousands upon thousands of people across British Columbia who are doing their part to protect our province. We thank you for all that you have done and all that you continue to do.
We have demonstrated kindness and compassion in the face of adversity and challenge, and this resilience will give us the strength for what lies ahead. Let’s continue to stand strong against our common foe that is COVID-19."
