Show Notes
This past Labour Day long weekend included closures at five B.C. emergency rooms in the Interior. Hospitals in Lillooet, Merritt, 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and even Kamloops could not adequately staff their ERs. Geographically, the closures left a huge swath of the province without ER coverage. The Ministry of Health has always maintained ERs are only closed as a last resort.
