A former BC conservation officer who lost his job for refusing to kill two bear cubs has been vindicated by the BC Court of Appeal. Construction has started on a project at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital that will reduce wait times for colonoscopies. A funeral is being held today, for the 26-year-old Tla-o-qui-aht woman who was killed by a News Brunswick police officer during a wellness check one week ago. Family members of Chantal Moore say she was shot five times in what they believe was a racially motivated incident. We'd like to expand our local news service at CHLY and we can do it with your help.
