There may not be streams of confetti or champagne corks popping, but most of us are looking forward to what 2021 may bring. I mean, it couldnB次元官网网址檛 be worse than 2020, could it?

Christmas celebrations will look a lot different in B.C. this year, as COVID-19 restrictions will prevent many families from getting together over the holidays.

After months of uncertainty and ever-tightening restrictions, the end of the pandemic appears to be finally within sight.

The COVID-19 pandemic has already stripped away many of our hopes for 2020, and now even the dream of a quiet family gathering over the holidays is flickering out like the lights on a well-used Christmas tree.

The lights are going up, the stacks of presents under the tree continue to grow, but questions remain about whether the family will be able to crowd around the table for the Christmas turkey.

One week into the new restrictions to curtail the spread of the COVID-19 virus, British Columbia continues to grapple with a staggering rise in cases.

Cases of COVID-19 continue to climb across Vancouver Island, with travel to blame for a significant number of those cases.

Reports of COVID-19 cases continue to rise across British Columbia at alarming rates. The average of more than 450 cases a day we are seeing in November is more than double the rate from just a month ago. While the number of cases on Vancouver Island is far below the provincial average, those too are seeing a steady rise.

ItB次元官网网址檚 beginning to look a lot like Christmas. OK, no itB次元官网网址檚 not, but with a global pandemic and U.S. election chaos we need something to take our mind off the troubles all around us.

It may feel like itB次元官网网址檚 been going on forever but the U.S. presidential election is finally heading into the home stretch.
