It’s the start of a short week after the Thanksgiving long weekend, but there is no easing into the week as the first BC Elections debate takes place this evening.

As you head out to activities and events, please follow the restrictions and guidelines that these businesses require to keep their employees and patrons safe during the pandemic.

As always, wash your hands, wear masks, practice physical distancing, and stay home if you feel sick or show symptoms!
