The worst current COVID-19 outbreak at a long-term care facility in B.C. continues to devastate a Burnaby care centre.

Fraser Health has confirmed to the NOW there have been 13 deaths at Willingdon Care Centre, where an outbreak was declared on Sept. 27. A total of 105 lab-confirmed COVID cases have

been reported to date, involving 80 residents and 25 staff. When Fraser Health first issued the alert for the facility, it said one case involving a resident had been identified and en-

hanced control measures had been put in place. The outbreak grew quickly. At an Oct. 14 news conference, Health Minister Adrian Dix addressed what has become B.C.’s

biggest current outbreak. “Willingdon is currently, by a significant margin, our most significant outbreak,” Dix said. In an emailed statement, Fraser Health said it has implemented the fol-

lowing measures at Willingdon Care Centre: Ð Staffing levels are being supported to maintain resident care. Ð Social visits are restricted in the affected Continued on page 3

Citynow Driver pleads guilty in crash that killed cyclist Jeep driver had a blood alcohol level 2.5 times the legal limit when he hit Charles Masala in 2019

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The driver who killed Burnaby cyclist Charles Masala in a hit-and-run by Burnaby Mountain in June 2019 had a blood-alcohol level two-and-a-half times the legal limit and originally tried to pin the accident on a coworker who had been in the vehicle with him, according to facts read out in court. Sumeet Mangat, who is now 24 years old, was in Vancouver provincial court last Tuesday and pleaded guilty to impaired driving causing death and leaving the scene of the crash that killed Masala on June 29, 2019. Masala, a 53-year-old engineer and father of two young children, had been cycling beside Gaglardi Way just after 1:20 p.m. when a Jeep Cherokee speeding up Burnaby Mountain entered the bike

lane and hit him, according to the agreed statement of facts. An RCMP collision analyst determined Masala had been “ladled onto the hood of the Jeep” and thrown about 43 metres after hitting the windshield, the statement said. He died instantly. Mangat, a car salesman at DriveCo Motors in Coquitlam at the time and the driver of the Jeep, had been in an argument over text message that day with a woman he was in a relationship with. At 11:56 a.m., he had texted he was going to get “f***ed up,” and he was seen drinking a Nude Vodka Soda at work that morning. At about 1 p.m., he left the car lot in the Jeep, which belonged to DriveCo, to get lunch with a coworker. At first, they headed to Lougheed mall but

FAMILY MAN: Burnaby resident Charles Masala was the father of two young children. The 53-year-old died in a hit-and-run accident by Burnaby Mountain in June 2019. Masala was cycling next to Gaglardi Way when a Jeep Cherokee speeding up the mountain veered into the bike lane and hit him. PHOTO GOFUNDME then decided to try a new restaurant on Burnaby Mountain near SFU. As he came to the end of the long curve at the base of Burnaby Mountain, Mangat encroached into the bike lane going between 71 and 85 km/h and hit Masala. “After the collision, Mr. Mangat initially slowed down but then sped up and continued up Burnaby Mountain,” read the statement. Two people on top of Burnaby Mountain who saw the Jeep, which had been “obviously severely damaged,” called 911. A security guard who had seen the crash site ap-

proached the Jeep and told Mangat and his coworker they should go back. Mangat told him to “bounce,” according to the statement of facts. He was arrested shortly before 2 p.m. Twice he told police he hadn’t been the one driving. “He said that his buddy that he worked with was driving,” read the statement. Police found a 375-millilitre bottle of vodka, about two-thirds full, in the driver’s door pocket. Mangat’s coworker said he had found another mickey in the Jeep with

about 25 millilitres missing from it. In two tests after the fatal crash, Mangat was found to have had

He said that his buddy … was driving

blood-alcohol levels of 200 and 190 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. It took a year-and-a-half for charges against Mangat to be approved. A date for his sentenc-

ing will now be set. Masala’s widow, Michelle Masala, was in court Tuesday, and about a dozen close family members had dialled in to listen to the proceedings, but Judge Reginald Harris disconnected all those who were listening on the phone because someone had failed to mute their microphone. Harris said it was “unfortunate” they were cut off. “Out of respect for the accused and the court process, in the administration of justice, I had to guard against unwanted intrusions,” he said.

Man sentenced for exposing himself near school 37-year-old gets conditional discharge with one year of probation for Maywood-area incident Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man who exposed himself to a parent by a Burnaby elementary school in January has been granted a conditional discharge with a year of probation. On Jan. 13 at 2:47 p.m., Burnaby RCMP got a call from Maywood Community School reporting a “suspicious male” in the alley behind the school who was looking into cars and “lunging at parents who were waiting for their children,” according to agreed facts read out by Crown prosecutor Louise Gauld inVancouver provincial court Monday. A parent waiting for his daughter told the suspect,

later identified as Eric Charles Narayan, to “go away,” Gauld said. Narayan did but then came back, and an altercation ensued that ended with the parent holding Narayan on the ground. The parent wanted to hold him there until police came, but a 911 dispatcher told him to let him go, according to Gauld. “He released Narayan, who walked away, turned around and pulled his pants down, exposing his penis to (the parent),” Gauld said. Police arrived shortly after and detained him, and he was charged in March with committing an indecent act in a public place and indecent exhibition in a public place.

Narayan, 37, pleaded guilty Monday to indecent exhibition.The other charge was stayed. His lawyer, Sarah Grewal, said Narayan “regrets his actions” and said the incident was “out of character for him.” “He tells me that the offence occurred because he was intoxicated,” Grewal said. Both lawyers agreed Narayan should be granted a conditional discharge, meaning he will not have a criminal record from the incident if he abides by the terms of his probation. Both lawyers also agreed those conditions should include bans on Narayan being at Maywood Community School and con-

tacting the parent he exposed himself to. Gauld said Narayan should also be ordered to get counselling, but Grewal opposed that condition.

I’ll accept that this was an anomaly

She said her client has mental health issues, including schizophrenia, but that he takes his medication regularly and is already getting medical help. Provincial court Judge James Sutherland agreed a conditional discharge

was “in (Narayan’s) interest and not contrary to the public interest.” He noted Narayan had a criminal record with four drug convictions but those dated back about 15 years. Sutherland chose not to order counselling for Narayan. “I appreciate that the circumstances behind this offence are kind of bizarre,” he said. “Perhaps they can be explained through alcohol intoxication, which, if he’s intoxicated to that degree near a school is problematic, but given the gap in his record, I’ll accept that this was an anomaly and that he is currently under medical treatment as it is, so I’ll leave it at that.” Nick Christofides, dis-

trict principal for safe and caring schools with the Burnaby school district, said Maywood held its dismissal bell for a couple minutes during the incident until police arrived and it was safe for students to leave the school. He said school principal KathrynYamamoto did all the right things when the situation unfolded. “In this and every other incident, our first priority is the safety of the school community,” Christofides said in an emailed statement. “The school principal did exactly what she needed to do by taking immediate steps to ensure that students were safe and could not see what was happening in the alley.”

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Horgan’s approval ratings dropping

Premier John Horgan’s popularity appears to have dropped, but I get the feeling he is not losing much sleep over this development. A recent online poll by the Angus Reid institute pegged his approval rating at 56%, a drop of seven points from a June poll. A drop is a drop, but the fact that Horgan still has the approval of more than half the electorate after more than four years on the job is a scenario any political leader will grab in a heartbeat. There is no question Horgan and his government have made mistakes and court controversy on a number of fronts. Hundreds of people dying during the summer heat dome, mounting frustration over pandemic restrictions, long ambulance waits, frustratingly high housing prices – all can contribute to a decline in support for a government and its leader. However, for a number of reasons, the steady and inevitable rise in negative issues does not seem to be having much of an impact on the voting public, at least for the moment. The pandemic has given many sitting governments cover from their voters, who may not embrace change at the top until things get back to normal. Horgan’s personal political style is also a major contributing factor to his continuing ability to put up good approval numbers. For starters, he is not in people’s faces all the time. Where premiers like Alberta’s Jason Kenney and Ontario’s Doug Ford attach themselves to all kinds of announcements, Horgan prefers to stay in the background and only emerge at weekly news conferences or special events. Kenney and Ford’s unpopularity (22% and 36% approval respectively) is

undoubtedly partly linked to their endless personal publicity campaigns. Even though Horgan occasionally slips up with a flippant or uninformed response to a question, it does not seem to hurt him with the public. Horgan is also aided because he faces an Opposition that has yet to find its sea legs during the pandemic.The B.C. Liberals, like pretty well all opposition parties in most places, struggle to be heard when so many issues that would traditionally get a fair amount of attention (huge budget deficits, a massive overrun in the Site C dam costs, the affordability crisis, etc.) often get lost in the conversation. The B.C. Liberals are also understandably distracted by their lengthy leadership race and their internal rebuilding exercise. However, the B.C. legislature has resumed sitting, which gives the opposition parties a platform they would not otherwise have. At least twice a week, the B.C. Liberals and the Greens will have a chance to square off against Horgan in question period. In the next few weeks, it will be interesting to see if the opposition can put a few dents in the Horgan vehicle, or whether he will continue to drive it unscarred by political attacks. The road ahead is an uncertain one. COVID-19 cases continue to appear by the hundreds every day, hospitalizations are rising as a result, and more and more people are dying from the virus. British Columbians have yet to turn on the man who took over the premier’s office more than four years ago, and it is by no means clear when, or even if, they ever will. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Are people too hard on kids at Halloween? “I see around 40-70 kids per year. Never felt a need to complain in ten years. A couple times I politely told a bigger kid not to budge in front of little ones. I stopped letting them choose to speed up the process. It also prevents dishonest kids from grabbing extra.”

“They can be kids and still use manners. I’ve only had very few who have not said thank you.”

Messages from beyond

A book by a former Burnaby school trustee and parks commissioner hit B.C. bookstores in September. Titled Messages from Beyond, it outlined local businessman James Mason’s experiences with paranormal phenomena, including communicating with the spirit of his dead wife, Alma. After her death in 1992, he said he felt her presence and heard her voice tell him to write down her words, and so began a new life communing with the spirit world. He went on to found the Spiritual Temple of Light Society.

Opinionnow Federal NDP need to use their power for good Editor: “For this we paid 600 million dollars?” That was my first thought when I saw the results of the 2021 federal election. I thought that because the numbers of MPs for each party were largely unchanged from the outcome of the 2019 election, then everything was going to be the same. On second thought, I was wrong. There is, or should be, a huge change. After the 2019 election, the NDP were in disarray. For the second election in a row, they had lost seats. Their leader, Jagmeet Singh, was still relatively new, and they were broke. They weren’t about to get tough with the Liberals because they weren’t ready for another election and because, historically, it is the party that holds the balance of power in a minority government that gets thrashed in the next election. But 2021 didn’t result in a thrashing of the NDP. Indeed, they gained a seat. More importantly, it is to be hoped, they gained confidence. Climate Ken the Surfer Dude pulled his cynical and self-serving stunt by calling an election hoping to get a majority. Canadians did not reward him. Maybe some voted for the Liberals believing the same “it’s the only way to stop the Conservatives” line, but that barely worked

this time. No, Canadians won’t be rewarding anyone who causes an election any time soon if it’s just to try to get a majority. So what should the NDP do to cement their position? First, they should demand a Supply and Confidence Agreement (SCA) with the Liberals. This won’t create a coalition; the NDP will remain in opposition to the Liberals, but it can serve as a basis for good, stable and cooperative government. The NDP mustn’t make the same mistake the B.C. Green Party made with the provincial NDP. The federal NDP must include a provision in the SCA that, unless they are defeated by a non-confidence vote, the Liberals must govern the until the fixed election date. And what else should the NDP require to prop up the Liberals in the next Parliament? Well, they could make good on a couple of their own election promises. They could insist that the Liberals end all subsidies, direct or otherwise, to fossil fuel companies. This would save the 18 billion taxpayers’ dollars that were spent last year. They could also insist that the Liberals cancel the Trans-Mountain pipeline project and save another five billion of our dollars. The ball is very much in the court of Jagmeet Singh and his faithful lieutenant, House Leader Peter Julian. David Macdonald

A Burnaby garage was too far gone for firefighters to save it this week, but they made sure the fire didn’t spread. Crews were called to the 4000 block of Kincaid Street at 12:45 a.m. on Tuesday for reports of a structure fire. “A garage in the rear of the residence was fully involved, which means it was burning extensively,” acting assistant fire Chief Derek Masaro told the NOW. He said no flames spread to any nearby homes and there was no car in the garage, which was totally gutted. “They suppressed the fire and protected surrounding homes,” Masaro said. The residents of the

home were alerted to the fire by a person who was in the area at the time, according to Burnaby RCMP. That person was taken to hospital, but spokesperson Cpl. Mike Kalanj said he didn’t believe it was fire-related. “Someone was in the

area; they pounded on the door to tell the residents ‘Hey, your garage is on fire.’That person was brought to hospital,” Kalanj told the NOW. Masaro said the fire is under investigation.

Artsnow Female musicians in the spotlight at ’Bolt

A jazz powerhouse double bill and a one-woman musical are live and livestreaming this week Female musical powerhouses are in the spotlight at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts this week. Tonight (Thursday, Oct. 21), audiences can enjoy a double bill by award-winning Canadian jazz artists Laila Biali and Jodi Proznick. Proznick, the noted jazz bassist, opens with her Juno-nominated album, Sun Songs, which features Biali on vocals. Biali will follow with a quartet performance highlighting material from her Juno Award-winning self-titled album and her latest Juno-nominated release, Out of Dust – featuring Canadian songbook arrangements and reimagined pop hits. “One minute Biali is soaring over a bluesy storm of handclaps and hard-charging keyboard riffs, the next she is pouring out her soul on an impassioned ballad. It’s jazz,

it’s pop – it can’t be put into a box, but it’s beautiful,” a press release says. JOSEPHINE ONSTAGE Then, on Friday, Oct. 22 and Saturday, Oct. 23, audiences can experience the one-woman biographical musical Josephine. Tymisha Harris takes to the stage with cabaret, theatre and dance to tell the story of the iconic Josephine Baker, the first African-American international superstar. Tickets for both shows are $30 for a live, in-person show at the Shadbolt’s Studio Theatre, or $15 for the livestreamed edition enjoyed from the comfort of your own home. (Tickets for the live double bill were sold out at press time, but all other tickets were still available.)

Citynow Headbutter in Burnaby café brawl gets conditional discharge

Missing the Signs? Hearing Loss doesn’t need to strain your relationship.

Judge didn’t want to hurt his immigration status Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 33-year-old man who assaulted four other men in a brawl at a Burnaby café two-and-a-half years ago was given a 12-month conditional discharge last week. LiuYuan Song had been charged with multiple counts of assault causing bodily harm, uttering threats and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose in connection with a fight at Estea Café on Beresford Street on March 10, 2019. Song and some friends had approached one of the victims at the café at about 2:30 p.m. and accused him of staring at them, according to agreed facts read out in Vancouver provincial court by Crown prosecutor Jeffrey LaPorte last Thursday. The man, David Feng Liang, told Song and his group he was not staring at them and apologized, LaPorte said. “At this point, Mr. Song was holding a baton and said, ‘Do you know who I am?’ Mr. Song tried to initiate a physical alterca-

tion but was restrained by some of his friends,” LaPorte said. Liang and his group then started a verbal confrontation with Song and his group, and Song held up the baton to Liang’s head, according to the agreed facts. The groups were then separated and left the café. About 30 minutes later, however, Song and his associates returned and demanded café staff call the other group back to the store. “So that’s what happened,” LaPorte said. “Staff members at the store called Mr. Liang and his associates back to the store, and a physical altercation ensued.” Song head-butted Liang, hit him on the head with a plant pot, hit him with a chair and punched him “three or more times,” according to LaPorte. He also kicked and punched other members of Liang’s group. LaPorte said the melee was captured on CCTV. He said the incident has had a “significant impact” on the victims, but he noted Song doesn’t have a

criminal record. In a joint sentencing submission, both LaPorte and defence lawyer Michael Klein called for a 12-month conditional discharge, which means Song will not have a criminal record if he abides by his conditions. Klein said there had been bad blood between the two groups before the fight. “Before all of this started, there was another altercation where Mr. Song got the worst of it,” he said. Klein noted the conditional discharge was important because Song is a Chinese citizen who has had permanent resident status in Canada for about 10 years. Judge Ellen Gordon agreed to the conditional discharge, saying “I don’t want to hurt your immigration status in Canada.” During the term of his sentence, Song is not allowed to attend Estea Café or have contact with any of the victims. He is also banned from possessing any weapons except for knives for work and preparing food.

Police are looking for more suspects in a bearspray liquor store robbery this month reportedly perpetrated by seven or eight youths dressed in black and wearing masks. The youths, who police believe are in their midteens, entered the B.C. liquor store on Willingdon Avenue between Hastings and Pender streets at about 5:50 p.m. on Oct. 10. “They sprayed several customers and staff with bear spray,” Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Brett Cunningham told the NOW. The youths then grabbed multiple bottles each of liquor, including

BURNABY RCMP

wine, whiskey and vodka, and fled the store, according to Cunningham. He said the group split up when they got out of the store, but officers located two of the youths, aged 14 and 16, nearby and arrested them for robbery. Cunningham said the 14-year-old was uncooperative and resisted arrest. Police are now looking

for the other suspects. At least six people suffered the effects of bear spray, but no serious injuries were reported, according to Cunningham. Anyone with information about the incident or the suspects is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Citynow Driver ‘fortunate’ not to be in jail after breach: judge Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man caught driving at night without his lights on just weeks after being sentenced for driving drunk and hitting a pedestrian in Burnaby is “fortunate” not to be in jail right now, according to a provincial court judge. On April 5, 2019,Tyrone Jackson Guimond, 36, had been driving in the 4400 block of Still Creek Drive at a “high rate of

speed,” according to Burnaby RCMP, when he hit a pickup truck and hopped the curb, hitting a pedestrian and colliding with a tree before coming to a stop.The pedestrian, a 36-year-old woman, suffered broken bones, police said. After pleading guilty, Guimond was sentenced on June 30, 2021. The judge handed him a one-year conditional sentence – with an order that included a curfew – a two-

year driving ban and a $1,000 fine. Two weeks later, however, Guimond was pulled over at about 11 p.m. for driving in the 2500 block of East Broadway inVancouver without lights on. He pleaded guilty last week to the MotorVehicle Act charge of driving while prohibited, and Crown prosecutor Jeffrey LaPorte said Guimond should be banned from driving for three years and charged a $2,000 fine.

A conditional sentence is a jail sentence served in the community. If a person doesn’t follow the rules of their conditional sentence order, they can be ordered to spend the rest of their sentence in jail, but LaPorte said Guimond’s conditional sentence order should stay in place as is. And defence lawyer Matthew James said Guimond should pay a lesser fine of $500 but agreed with the three-year driving ban.

He said the reason Guimond had been driving that night was because his pregnant girlfriend had called him saying she was experiencing abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. “At that point in time, I don’t think he was acting or thinking very rationally,” James said. James said Guimond didn’t have money for a taxi and didn’t think of calling police. Vancouver provincial court Judge Ellen Gordon

sounded unconvinced. She told Guimond he was “so fortunate” LaPorte had argued the conditional sentence order should stay in place. “I would have terminated it for a couple of months and sent you to jail,” she said. Instead, she ordered him to pay a $1,000 fine and slapped him with a three-year driving prohibition, saying: “It runs every day; it runs 24 hours a day.”

When students at Burnaby’s Stoney Creek Community School were told they’d get to dump ice cold water on their principal if they raised $1,000 for this year’s Terry Fox Run, they blew that goal away. Burnaby schools take part in the Terry Fox Run every September to honour Fox’s legacy and raise money for cancer re-

search. Before this year’s Sept. 29 event, Stoney Creek principal Wendell Hiltz challenged students to raise $1,000 to earn the privilege of dousing him and other staff volunteers. Stoney Creek had raised $665 in 2020 but went on to raise $1,628 this year. As promised, Hiltz and other staff members submitted to their drenchings toward the end of the school day on Oct. 8.

Collectively, local schools raised tens of thousands of dollars for the Terry Fox Foundation this year, according to the school district. Burnaby Central Secondary, for example, raised more than $5,800. “Students also discuss Terry’s heroic efforts and think about how they, too, can help be positive agents of change in both big and small ways,” read a statement from the district.

Community now Second Burnaby community fridge opens at SFU Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

More people in Burnaby will have access to safe, low-barrier and non-judgmental support for nutrition. The Burnaby Primary Care Network started a community fridge program in June, which saw the first fridge placed outside the BurnabyYouth Hub at 4750 Imperial St. in Metrotown. A second location is

now operational at Simon Fraser University (SFU) in the Student Union Building next to the kitchenette, which is located south of Freedom Square between the Diamond Family Auditorium and the Academic Quadrangle. “It is a place for people in our neighbourhoods to give and take, to reduce waste and feed their children better,” a June news release said. “It builds and enhances our

food security in Burnaby.” The fridges are available for anyone who wants to take food from them. They are not policed to see who is taking food or how much. “In Burnaby, we have a robust network that supports with an ongoing need for food, with food hubs actively working to support families and individuals across the city,” the release added. “But we already know that it sometimes isn’t

enough, and we also know that there are an awful lot of people in the city who are underfed but aren’t able or willing to reach out for help. “Often these are our most vulnerable seniors, newcomers and young families – sometimes it’s people who are working hard to become more stable and find that they just need a bit of help to get through a week and to feed their children.” Sponsors of the second

fridge include Embark, Simon Fraser Student Society, the Burnaby Primary Care Network, Food Mesh, Burnaby Neighbourhood House, SFU ancillary services and SFU's office of community engagement. Residents are also welcome to go look at the fridges and donate something or take something, if needed.

ITEMS ACCEPTED INCLUDE:

Ð fresh produce Ð dairy Ð bread Ð grab-and-go foods Ð pantry items Ð prepared meals (made in a commercial kitchen) ITEMS NOT ACCEPTED ARE AS FOLLOWS: Ð expired food Ð rotting food Ð home-cooked food Ð open packages of food Ð leftovers Ð clothing or housewares

How COVID-19 has changed our health care – for better and for worse In the same vein, skin

Davidicus Wong conditions are easy to misHEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

The pandemic – and technology – have transformed how we meet our health-care needs. VIRTUAL BENEFITS AND LIMITATIONS Telehealth – phone or video consultations with physicians – has replaced many in-person clinic visits. Patients and doctors have discovered the benefits – and limitations – of virtual consults. Many patients have welcomed the convenience of a phone call or video visit to prevent travelling to the clinic, necessitating time off school or work and a potentially hazardous wait in a reception room. However, I’ve heard of many patients’ stories of being misdiagnosed with repeated virtual visits until they are finally examined in person. Although a physician can diagnose some conditions with some accuracy by a patient’s description alone, the physical examination is necessary in many cases. I have found it next to impossible to diagnose the exact nature of a back injury based on symptoms and video alone.

diagnose through photos and video. Most video lacks sufficient resolution, and many photos emailed by patients are focused on hair or objects in the background rather than the skin change of concern. Abdominal pain is also notoriously misdiagnosed without a physical examination. For these reasons, most family physicians are seeing patients in person for those situations where virtual health is insufficient. Most of my colleagues are therefore offering a mixture of telehealth and inperson clinic visits (where medical masks are mandatory for all adults). However, there remain a small number of physicians who are still not doing any inperson visits. Don’t hesitate to call your own family doctor just as you did prior to the pandemic.The medical office assistant will let you know how the clinic is coordinating telehealth and in-person care. VACCINATION: DR. GOOGLE/MR. HYDE The persuasive power of the internet is a double-edged scalpel.With an evolving pandemic and an explosion in scientific knowledge, we’ve been

overwhelmed by information – some of it sound, much of it false. I’ve welcomed frank discussions with my patients to identify their concerns, assess their personal risks and helped them decide to get their vaccinations. Very few have remained unconvinced and unvaccinated.

The persuasive power of the internet is a double-edged scalpel

Patients have shared how extreme opinions have polarized families. Some grandparents have not yet seen their children’s babies born during the pandemic. RE-ENGAGING WITH YOUR FAMILY PHYSICIAN Family physicians are reaching out to their patients and reminding them that they have remained at work throughout the pandemic.Yet the public might have the impression many clinics are closed. I’ve reached out to my patients with regular email

newsletters updating them throughout the pandemic. I’ve specifically checked up on my elderly patients (who don’t use the internet) and have chronic conditions that require regular monitoring. INFO SESSION SET On Thursday, Oct. 21, I’ll be speaking on the patient-doctor relationship, providing practical tips on communicating and collaborating with any healthcare provider to achieve your personal goals. I’ll also talk about the key information you should ask your doctor or any other health-care provider so that you can make an informed decision and give consent to medical procedures, investigations and medications, including vaccines. I’ll be reviewing the recommended age and gender-based screening tests that you may have missed during the pandemic. To learn more and sign up for this free Zoom workshop, check out the Burnaby Division of Family Practice’s website. Dr. DavidicusWong is a family physician. His Healthwise column appears regularly in this paper. For more on achieving your positive potential in health, read his blog at davidicuswong. wordpress.com.
