If you're planning on travelling to the Shuswap/Okanagan right now for 'vacation', then please, do not. You are not welcome right now. Keep traffic as much to a minimum as you possibly can while locals and families try and figure out their next steps to safety and security.

Meme under the cut because I've been crying for hours.

"Fatal Shooting Follows Quarrel," The Province (Vancouver). April 9, 1943. Page 3. ----- KAMLOOPS, April 9. - (CP) — A 15-year-old Indian held in connection with the fatal shooting of David Dennis, 18, also of the Kamloops reserve, will come up for preliminary hearing April 14.

A coroner's jury yesterday found that Dennis, 18, came to his death by a bullet from a .22 caliber rifle, but did not state in whose hands the rifle was held.

Three teen-age Indian girls who were in the kitchen of Chief Alex Thoma's residence said they saw the youth pick up a gun and walk into a bedroom where Dennis was lying on a bed.

The two boys had been hauling manure into Kamloops from the reserve and are reported to have quarreled over Dennis' insistence that he rest before taking another load.

British Columbia Road Trip

We have had an absolutely fantastic time during our 10 week swing through beautiful British Columbia. Through Karen’s organizational skills we ended up doing five house sits in five different locations around southern BC. We ran the gambit of animal personalities from dogs that were deaf, to obsessed with squirrels, to chickens that were just a little too curious at times. To blind Truffle who…

Two fast-moving British Columbia wildfires have burned down blocks of homes, stores and buildings in multiple communities in the Shuswap region, the B.C. Wildfire Service (BCWS) confirmed Saturday. Residents of more than 3,500 properties in the area had to evacuate on Friday and Saturday as "extreme fire behaviour" is expected to prompt more evacuation orders in the coming days, according to BCWS and local emergency officials. "We're still going to have a very active and dynamic day and there's going to be challenges and dangers for our people," said Shuswap Emergency Operations Centre risk management officer John MacLean.
