September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. Today is a time to raise awareness of the ongoing impacts of residential schools and remember the children who never came home. How are you honouring the day?

BC Wildfire Service - The Bald Range wildfire is one of the most challenging fires we've experienced. Crews worked together to save lives, fire aircraft became rescue aircraft. Conditions in BC right now are "explosive", and we have rarely seen it be this bad especially in the Southern Interior.
