How the CRD is taking action
Throughout this anxious and uncertain time, my colleagues and I have been on the phone and teleconferencing with our MLA, Adam Olsen, BC Ferries president, Mark Collins, your local Island Trustees, members of island commissions, the Community Resource Centre, heads of CRD departments and many islanders. The phone has not stopped ringing as we all try to come to grips with COVID-19 and to figure out how best to cope.
