VANCOUVER -- ​​I started feeling sick on a Tuesday. Sniffles and a sneezy feeling, nothing to worry about, I told myself. A summer cold. Perhaps just run down from a jam-packed family road trip, and my body struggling to adjust back to the early hours on the morning show. Pre-pandemic, I would have dazzled my bosses with my work ethic, and continued to do my job in spite of being a little under-the-weather. But I’ve reported on Dr. Henry’s advice many times: If you feel sick, stay home.

VANCOUVER -- When I heard a flyover was happening over Metro Vancouver to honour the Snowbirds, my youngest daughter and I headed to an open clearing near where we live in hopes of catching a glimpse. It would be a sombre procession, I told her, in honour of the devastating loss of one of the Snowbirds team members.
