First Nations along B.C.'s north, central coasts ask for crack down on non-essential travel to the region GlobeBC

Haida Gwaii is a group of islands off B.C.'s west coast and is home to Gwaii Haanas National Park, seen here, which is closed along with other Parks Canada sites.

People have been coming to Haida Gwaii for sport fishing or camping despite repeated advice from provincial health authorities to stay home, Mr. Alsop said. In an April 6 letter to provincial and federal authorities, First Nation and municipal leaders call for “immediate emergency measures" to restrict non-essential travel.

In her daily COVID-19 briefing Wednesday, B.C. Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry urged people to avoid non-essential travel. “Definitely, the current measures aren’t enough to protect our communities, so we would certainly like to work together with B.C. and Canada to provide those measures that we called for in our collective letter,” Ms. Slett said.

Opinion: History will repeat itself if First Nations remain underfunded in the fight against COVID-19By allocating less than 1 per cent of its pandemic funding to First Nations, the federal government is creating second-class communities GlobeDebate First Nations are underfunded for NOTHING !!!! maybe they should save some of the billions of tax dollars we gave them!! What a f*cked up system !! GlobeDebate Didn't they just get another $50M for the federal government That came in addition to existing Fed and Prov funding AND the $100s of millions a year in royalties from resource companies. That's a LOT of $$$ per person. Mismanaged, not accountable, etc would make more sense... GlobeDebate Thought they were their own nation?
