The emergency order is targeted at cities with accommodations we need, but let me be clear: Do not travel to fire affected areas of the province for tourism or fun. Do not go to the Okanagan. Do not go to Shuswap. Do not go to the southeast. Don't split hairs about what's where.
Situation between Sorrento and Chase, where there’s a number of smaller communities north and west of Shuswap Lake, looks quite bad

If anyone in Victoria has had their landlord refuse to let them install an AC unit -- flip me a DM
Renters in B.C. have received notices warning them against installing air conditioning units in their suites, or risk jeopardizing their tenancies, just weeks after the province announced a program to provide AC to eligible British Columbians. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.
