    Public Safety Minister Won't Comment on Tatyanna Harrison Inquest What the inquest heard

    After problems with BC's death investigation system were shown, there's no reason to wait to act, says lawyer. … Article written by Jen St. Denis. The lawyer who represented Tatyanna Harrison's family says there's no reason for Public Safety Minister Nina Krieger to wait to act on the disturbing revelations that were brought to light during a recent coroner's inquest. Several weeks after the inquest ended July 10, The Tyee reached out to the Ministry of Public Safety with a request to interview Krieger. But her staff continue to say she won't comment on calls for a review of B.C.'s death investigation system or a request for a renewed investigation of Harrison's case until she receives a full report on the inquest from the BC Coroners Service. The Ministry of Social Development, which was involved in burying Harrison's remains without the knowledge or consent of her mother, Natasha Harrison, also says staff won't comment until it receives the report. The BC Coroners Service told The Tyee that staff could not "provide a timeline for the final verdict with coroner comments." Sue Brown, the lawyer who represented Natasha Harrison at the inquest, said the delayed response is hard to understand. "We expected a swift response from the minister, and I think the information that we learned at the inquest merits a swift and decisive response by all the ministries whose actions and processes were implicated in the failures that came to light during the inquest," Brown said. "In my view, I don't see why there's a need to wait for a report. Everything came out in the public record at the inquest, and I would have expected that they would have been kept apprised throughout." Brown said the problems brought to light during the inquest and the government's reluctance to respond are especially troubling given B.C.'s past history with missing and murdered Indigenous women, including the serial killer Robert Pickton. Police inaction related to victims of Pickton previously led to B.C.'s Missing Women Commission of Inquiry and dozens of recommendations that were supposedly put into practice following the end of the inquiry in 2010. But Tatyanna Harrison's case, and that of two other Indigenous women and youth who went missing and were found dead in the same two-week period, has led advocates to question whether the inquiry truly led to change. Tatyanna Harrison, a Métis and Cree woman who grew up on Vancouver Island and in Surrey, was 20 years old when she was reported missing from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside neighbourhood by her mother, Natasha, on May 3, 2022. Her body was found on a dry-docked yacht in a Richmond marina on May 1 but was not identified until Aug. 5. Despite physical evidence that pointed to a possible sexual assault, the case was deemed non-suspicious by the police and coroner. The inquest heard that the BC Coroners Service continued to tell Natasha Harrison that her daughter had died from a drug overdose, even after toxicology testing found that fentanyl had been found in a dose that would normally be too low to cause death. The inquest also heard that Natasha had to repeatedly question investigating coroner Cynthia Hogan to learn that her daughter had been found wearing only a purple sweater, with no pants, shoes or underwear. After Natasha repeatedly urged the coroners service to conduct a forensic sexual assault exam, swabs were taken months after the initial autopsy. But the inquest heard that Richmond RCMP have not processed those samples because they say they have no evidence a crime took place. While BC Coroners Service pathologist Dr. Eric Bol later determined Tatyanna had died of sepsis, the inquest jury decided to change the cause of death to undetermined, after hearing a dissenting opinion from a pathologist who reviewed the case. That pathologist, Dr. Matthew Orde, also said he would have pushed to conduct a forensic sexual assault exam based on the bruises to Tatyanna's pubic area and hips. Orde, who previou...

    Inside the Fight to Save Clinton 'A huge community effort' A history of wildfires The next front in the fight

    As flames approached, residents rallied to save their town. A special dispatch from the editor of the Clinton Lariat. … Article written by Kelly Sinoski. As Mary Ann McKenzie fled the Pear Lake wildfire in Clinton July 24, she stopped to snap a photo of a giant plume of smoke coming toward Willow Springs Resort on Highway 97. Little did she realize it would be the last time she would see the trailer park and full-service campground that has been in Clinton for more than 40 years. Three days later, the resort's owners wrote that the mobile home park, campground and home had all been destroyed. Across the region, residents and business owners are coming to grips with a fire that has spared some, but left others with nothing. In Clinton, the town centre and many homes have so far escaped destruction. But the fire has burned multiple homes, hayfields, cattle and businesses. It's not yet known how many homes were lost, but Clinton locals are already setting up GoFundMe accounts to help those left with nothing. It's the Clinton way. I grew up just west of town, graduated from school in Clinton and now, after a newspaper career in Vancouver, edit the local newspaper, the Lariat. (I live close to 100 Mile House and have yet to be evacuated.) A village of 650, Clinton is located halfway between Vancouver and Prince George. Many of its residents have deep ties to the community, their families having lived there for generations. It's a small town that depends on people helping people. Residents are the typical small-town crowd, cooking hot dogs on Canada Day, helping kids tie flies at the local fishing derby and delivering homemade soup to shut-ins. Even those who grew up there and left still hold Clinton dear to their hearts, meeting annually at the May Ball Rodeo and Old-Timers' Tea, or catching up at the local coffee shop or Friday night legion dinners. Since the fires broke out, I've been contacted by several classmates wanting to know if so-and-so got evacuated; if their childhood home is still standing; if the power is on at Loon Lake "because I can't reach my folks." At the Stagecoach Café, Nicholas Kosovic and his mom Maria worked around the clock to serve hungry firefighters. Normally a lunch place, the Stagecoach expanded its hours to include "hungry man" breakfasts and dinners. "It just steamrolled," said Nicholas Kosovic, who is also a local councillor. "We couldn't feed them with a normal meal. Their only instruction was more carbs, more meat. It had to be substantial. We had to get support from the community to get supplies." Freezers that had been full in the morning were empty at night, but Kosovic said they didn't need to ask for help. The 100 Mile House food bank called, offering meat. Lo-Boy Market in Kamloops supplied cases of chocolate bars, energy bars, snacks and drinks. Regular customers dropped by with produce from Desert Hills in Ashcroft or radishes from their own gardens. Before he was evacuated, Kosovic used the leftovers from the donated food to make sandwiches for firefighters and those at Emergency Support Services. "It was just a huge community effort." Residents weren't surprised when they were told last week they needed to immediately leave their town. For days, Clinton's townsfolk had watched and waited as thick plumes of smoke blanketed the village's downtown, the ash turning from grey to black. Alerts and orders had already been issued for the nearby French Bar Creek and Fiftynine Creek fires. Now another fire was approaching. The Pear Lake fire started on a steep and tinder-dry plateau about 18 kilometres east of Clinton, not far from Kelly Lake, which doubles as the town's swimming hole. Two days later, as temperatures soared to 33 C, locals who had gathered at the lake to cool off fretted that the fire was still burning out of control. BC Wildfire Service said it had to battle the fire with helicopters, as the hot and dry conditions and steep terrain made it too dangerous for ground crews to ac...

    From Hotel Halls to City Hall: A Union's Disputed Tactics From Hotel Halls to City Hall: A Union's Disputed Tactics From Hotel Halls to City Hall: A Union's Disputed Tactics Demanding affordable homes, Unite Here Local 40 is accused of clogging hearings

SHARE: Comment / New Demanding affordable homes, Unite Here Local 40 is accused of clogging hearings and foreign interference. What's going on? … Article written by Isaac Phan Nay. A swell in political activity by Unite Here Local 40 contributed to a controversial week at city hall as Vancouver city council considered its villages plan and a three-tower development proposal that would include the tallest building in B.C. Over the past weeks, the hotel workers' union has mobilized dozens of supporters to rally outside city hall for affordable housing and call in to public hearings to oppose several prominent hotel projects. The union says it's taking action because housing affordability and wages are a top issue for members and their families. Michelle Travis, an organizer for the union, said its members are being priced out of Vancouver — and city hall is one place they can speak up. But the union's efforts have led some city councillors to accuse the union of filibustering after hundreds of people signed up to speak at several public hearings last week. And after several supporters admitted they were from the United States, Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim accused the union of "foreign interference." Experts say that while the union's tactics may be uncommon, they are a legitimate way to bring members' issues to city hall and may benefit the union during collective bargaining. Former labour official and New Democratic Party MP Peggy Nash said showing up at city hall puts union members' affordability concerns in front of the public — and demonstrates to employers the union can organize and mobilize its members. "It's a way of public communication," Nash said. "If you've got huge amounts of money, you might buy an ad in a newspaper. But bringing people out to convey a message is also a very powerful way of communicating." Unite Here Local 40 mainly represents hotel, casino, restaurant and other hospitality workers across B.C. It's part of the Unite Here international union, which represents 300,000 workers across Canada and the United States. The union says it has helped workers negotiate for the highest hotel wages in Canada. For example, in 2024, room attendants at the Hyatt Regency, Westin Bayshore and Pinnacle hotels in downtown Vancouver bargained for wages that will reach over $37 per hour in 2027. But other union members say their wages aren't enough to support their families in Vancouver. "I'm hoping that they're gonna listen to us as people who are suffering," said Jennie Padilla, a cook at the Vancouver International Airport who is married with a child. "They need to focus on us, not on businesses." According to the BC Society for Policy Solutions' and Living Wage BC's latest annual living wage report, a worker in Metro Vancouver would need to make at least $27.85 per hour to afford food, housing and other essentials. Padilla joined several dozen other union members, municipal politicians and other residents in a rally outside Vancouver City Hall July 9, calling for city hall to prioritize affordable housing. She was joined by Janet Budd, a Vancouver resident who has worked at the Holiday Inn for more than 35 years. Budd said she has lived in the West End for more than four decades but is about to be "demovicted" from her apartment, meaning her home is set to be demolished and a new building put in its place.

    The Ktunaxa Nursery Restoring BC's Interior The Ktunaxa Nursery Restoring BC's Interior

    What Works SOLUTIONS Indigenous Environment Nupqu distributes 700,000 seedlings a year to land reclamation projects in their traditional territory. Anna Dulisse Today TodayThe Tyee 31 Jul 2026 Anna Dulisse is a climate and conservation writer, communicator and wildlife technician based in Nelson, B.C. Our journalism is supported by readers like you. Click here to support The Tyee. URL copied to clipboard! SHARE: 68 SHARES 0 0 Comments / 0 New Nupqu distributes 700,000 seedlings a year to land reclamation projects in their traditional territory. … Article written by Anna Dulisse. In the Ktunaxa language, the black bears that roam freely in the mountains and valleys within their territory are called nupqu. They come out of hibernation in the spring in search of fresh grasses, plants and food such as elderberries, which are native to their territory. Most black bears rely on these native plants for their diet. But that food source is susceptible to industrial development, which is a major economic driver in the region. In parts of the province such as Ktunaxa traditional territory in southeastern B.C., open-pit metal and coal mining have scarred ecosystems, affected water quality and introduced invasive species that harm habitat and native plants that bears and other wildlife may rely on. The upside? B.C.'s reclamation laws require mines to restore sites after exploration and development have come to an end. In a fertile valley north of Cranbrook, the Ktunaxa Nation has come up with a solution that provides benefits to the local economy while reclaiming green spaces in its territory. Since 2020, Nupqu, Canada's largest Indigenous-led plant nursery, has distributed about 700,000 seedlings a year at reclamation sites and conservation lands in the Southern Rocky Mountain Trench, replenishing mountainsides that have been altered, or are in the midst of being altered, by development. "We're looking to do progressive reclamation as land is disturbed, or looking to restore as we go," says Aaron Higgs, Nupqu's president. "All of that is conducive to the utilization of native plants and incorporating those into those systems." Black bears and Tupperware The Nupqu ("NOOP-koo") native plant nursery, which is located on ʔaq̓am land, between Cranbrook and Kimberley, started operations during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has since expanded from a small nursery that grew a few different varieties of forest understorey plants into a hub for native seedlings spanning grasses, shrubs and herbaceous flowering plants. The work is aimed at restoring ecosystems and wildlife habitat that's been disturbed by industrial development. Today, it employs 15 people. Nupqu grows between 60 and 80 native species per year, including yarrow, red osier dogwood, rosy pussytoes, black huckleberry, Rocky Mountain juniper and shrubby penstemon. Then there are the grasses: the rough and Idaho fescues, blue and Alaska wildryes and June grass. All species are located within a large walk-in refrigerator, dubbed the "seed bank," that houses thousands of seeds in neatly labelled Tupperware containers. Seed collecting in the region kicks off in April and goes until November, or until the snow gets too deep. Each plant has a different seed harvest time window. After seeds are collected, they're brought back to the lab to be "cleaned," a labour-intensive process that removes excess plant and soil material. Then, the seeds are stratified — meaning refrigerated for several weeks or months to simulate winter, or other conditions necessary for them to germinate — tested for germination rate, stored and, if ordered and ready, planted into an appropriately sized Styrofoam tray. After they're ready to leave the lab, they spend their time growing at the nursery in one of several large greenhouses on the ʔaq̓am reserve. "It's a huge amount of planning," says Sarah McLeod, the nursery's seed co-ordinator. "As we're wrapping up testing and storage from the previous year, we...

    What Really Happened to Tatyanna Harrison?

    Twenty-year-old Tatyanna Harrison was last seen at the Grand Union Pub in Vancouver on April 22, 2022. Her mother Natasha Harrison desperately searched the Downtown Eastside for months, but couldn't find her daughter. Later that year in August, police arrived at Natasha's house to give her the worst news: Tatyanna's body had been found on a yacht in Richmond. As she learned more disturbing details, Natasha kept seeking one vital piece of information — definitive evidence that her daughter hadn't been assaulted and killed. But that information was not forthcoming, as Natasha told a coroner's inquest held in the summer of 2026. Tatyanna Harrison's case, alongside those of Noelle O'Soup and Chelsea Poorman, raised questions about the quality of police and other investigations into missing Indigenous women and youth. Over the past 13 years, a provincial and then a national inquiry on murdered and missing Indigenous women have led to dozens of recommendations, including changes to how police respond to reports of missing Indigenous people. But loved ones, including Natasha Harrison, say they experienced delays, indifference and baffling decisions as police handled their missing persons cases. The coroner's inquest into Tatyanna's death was supposed to provide answers. Instead, it mostly raised more troubling questions — and gave Natasha a fresh shock when she learned at the inquest that her daughter's body had been buried without her knowledge or consent.

    A Historic Fraser Canyon Hotel Faces Down a Wildfire A house with history A canyon of fire

    After years of renovations, Alexandra Lodge was being returned to its former glory. A fire on its doorstep could turn it all to ash. … Article written by Grace Kennedy. Shirley MacKinnon was celebrating the finishing touches on her bathroom renovation when the first fire started in early July. She took a photo of the ornate flamingo wallpaper now gracing her wall; all the while, the fledgling Brunswick Creek wildfire was inching towards the communities of North Bend and Boston Bar, 15 kilometres to the north. "Love our final finishes in the bathroom. Ken is an amazing renovator," Shirley wrote in a post on the Facebook page for the Alexandra Lodge, the historic Fraser Canyon roadhouse in which she and her husband, Ken MacKinnon, live. "We are safe from the fire. It is heading up Canyon but many are evacuated from North Bend Boston Bar. Thanks for reaching out," she wrote. "We are working on the main floor and exterior work will start soon. Will post again soon." She did not post again soon. Within days the Boston Bar First Nation and the Nooaitch Indian Band had issued evacuation orders for their communities. A week later, Boston Bar itself was evacuated and the Alexandra Lodge became a critical stop for friends evacuating to the south. "We were storing people's vehicles and a lot of things here for them," Shirley said. "It was considered a safe place back then." Then, on July 21, the Anderson Creek wildfire started and Alexandra Lodge was safe no longer. For more than 150 years, Alexandra Lodge has been a fixture for people travelling through the Fraser Canyon. Built on the Tikwalus Trail in 1858, the lodge began its life as a simple whitewashed roadhouse. Renovations over the years turned the building into a two-storey hotel, and by the 1920s it had stopped hosting gold seekers and started welcoming automobile travellers along the newly opened toll road. Alexandra Lodge reached its hospitality peak in the 1930s, when it welcomed King Prajadhipok of Siam (now Thailand) to its rooms. But it would face a gradual decline over the decades that followed. After the proprietress's death in 1947, the lodge began to lose its lustre. In 1952, it was moved back a few feet from its original foundation to accommodate the new Trans-Canada Highway. Although it was awarded a heritage designation in the 1970s, dwindling tourism on the Fraser Canyon route meant it never made the money its owners needed. It passed from owner to owner, eventually falling into disrepair. Then, Shirley and Ken found it. Like many Fraser Canyon travellers and B.C. history buffs, Shirley had long loved the lodge, and its colourful past. With Ken's retirement on the horizon, the couple decided to buy the property, move up from Maple Ridge to the Fraser Canyon and restore the lodge to some of its former glory. They started living on the property in 2021 and began restorations. The goal was to make the upstairs livable and comfortable, while turning much of the bottom floor into a museum dedicated to the lodge's history. In the five years since, they have uncovered what they believe are the walls of the original roadhouse, renovated the upstairs into a livable condition, installed new hardwood flooring throughout the building and papered their bathroom in 1930s-era wallpaper. They've also found their own community — something the couple didn't quite expect. Over the years, many people have stopped by the lodge to learn about the MacKinnons' efforts to restore the place. They have received donated items from the lodge's history, offers of free renovation assistance, and many professions of support and friendship from people both in person and online. "There was nothing about living in the canyon that is the way we thought it would be like," Shirley said. It included the friendships, she said. It also included the wildfires. When Shirley and Ken moved to Alexandra Lodge in 2021, the village of Lytton had just recently been destroyed. Wildfires continued to spread acro...

    Workplace Burnout Is Centuries Old A phrase that is centuries old From literal to figurative Did workers always work extra? Burnout is a structural problem

    We live with present-day 'hustle culture' and 'grindset.' But farm records reveal the agrarian roots of worker exhaustion. … Article written by Nathan TeBokkel. Nearly 40 per cent of Canadian workers say they feel burnt out often or always, according to a 2025 survey by Mental Health Research Canada and Canada Life. The term has become part of a broader lexicon of modern work, alongside quiet quitting, hustle culture and grindset and "taskmasking." But burnout is older than this current moment of concern suggests. The World Health Organization first classified it in 1990, in the International Classification of Diseases, defining it as "a state of vital exhaustion." The WHO later redefined the term as a syndrome "resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed" characterized by feelings of exhaustion, detachment and a lack of accomplishment. The Oxford English Dictionary dates the word itself to 1937, but the term is even older than that. More than 200 years ago, agriculturalists and workers used the phrase "burnt out" to describe fertilizer kilns, fuel, matches, fires and the consequences of excessive work. Writing in his 1771 travelogue The Farmer's Tour Through the East of England, agriculturalist Arthur Young documented farmers pushed to physical and emotional collapse by relentless work. For instance, he tells the story of a subtenant farmer, William White. White worked hard to master new techniques of irrigation and climbed from "a day labourer to a little farmer" despite having been "twice burnt out, by which accident he lost a hundred pounds, notwithstanding the uncommon industry of repairing his buildings with his own hands." In other words, White's barn burned down twice. He couldn't stop farming while rebuilding it, which meant he was working much harder than before, to the point where he lost 100 pounds. In Young's account, "burnt out" joins material destruction with "vital exhaustion," and "uncommon industry" with accomplishment. Here, burnout has both a material and a social basis — material because a barn burning down necessitates extra work, and social because workers were expected, if not compelled, to do extra work and were supposedly rewarded for it with status and stories. Burnout's meaning shifted from literal to figurative over time. It began as a description of candles burning out or fuel being used up, then shifted to a barn burning down and a worker's energy or body being depleted in the rebuilding. Eventually it came to simply describe a worker's exhaustion. This change makes an analogy or even an identity between objects and workers. This change is figurative because this kind of identity is a metaphor: "Workers are fuel." We typically associate metaphor with imagination or rhetorical flourish. But philosophers George Lakoff and Mark Johnson argue that "most of our ordinary conceptual system is metaphorical." Metaphorical concepts structure "what we perceive, how we get around in the world, and how we relate to other people." Because we rely on them for everyday activities, they aren't necessarily obvious. In "burnout," the metaphorical concept within the term is something like "Workers are fuel." This metaphor suggests that what's true about fuel is true about workers. Both can be extracted, bought and sold, and used to power machinery. Using more of them produces more power or commodities. Burnout referred, and still refers, to people's response to certain conditions, not just to personal choice or poor stress management. It was, and still is, the consequence of a social structure that normalizes and compels excessive work. The material and social bases of burnout have been generalized over time. It soon became normalized that workers always work extra, regardless of cause or result. Consider the term "moonlight," meaning "to do paid work in addition to one's regular employment; to take on a subsidiary job in order to supplement one's income." This term may date to ...

But you need the right program. … Article written by Grace Kennedy. Lightning flashed across the Osoyoos sky, the smell of ash falling with the rain in a sudden thunderstorm. Red light peeked above the edge of a hill to the west. Was it the sunset filtered through cloud and the haze of smoke, or the start of a new wildfire? It's a question that has become uncomfortably familiar for many B.C. travellers and residents. Summer — the province's peak travel time — has now become fire season, and tourists often travel into some of the most fire-prone areas during the most precarious times of year. Many residents in the Interior, meanwhile, know all too well what it's like to be able to see wildfire flames from their homes. This precarity highlights why authorities urge travellers and residents to make sure they have access to local emergency information channels — and why it's important to do so when fire breaks out and time is of the essence. The province can use Alert Ready, a national emergency alert system, to send notifications to people's phones, radios and televisions day or night. The system — which most people will know through the semi-annual test alerts — can be used to give people in a certain area targeted notifications related to wildfires and evacuation orders. But the process requires an extra step, with local governments requesting B.C.'s Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness to send out an alert on their behalf, and Alert Ready is rarely used for wildfire evacuation notices. This wildfire season, there have been only three Alert Ready notifications for wildfires: one for the Saw Creek wildfire in June, another for the Brunswick wildfire complex near Boston Bar on July 21 and a third for the Big Bar wildfire complex threatening Clinton on July 24. The Alert Ready system can't be used by local governments to share less urgent alerts or more specific information about evacuations. Because of that, most communities have opted to deploy one of three different emergency alert systems. The lack of a unified alerting system can introduce a degree of confusion — especially for tourists and travellers. But determining which system is used locally and downloading it to your phone — ideally, before a fire or other event happens — is worth the effort in a province where fires, earthquakes, floods and other hazards are all too common. We've listed the three most common applications below, along with links to download them; the websites of local governments usually provide information on which emergency alert system they use. Many, but not all, municipalities use the same alert system as the local regional district. Alertable The Alertable app was developed in Alberta in 2013 and has become one of the most used emergency alert systems in the country. It is available for both Apple and Android, as well as Amazon Alexa devices. (There is also a desktop version.) Alertable is connected to Alert Ready and is probably the most common app used by local governments. However, it's not always clear when a town is not part of Alertable's system, which can make it challenging to know if you are fully covered. Regional districts that use Alertable include Metro Vancouver, the Central Okanagan including Kelowna, the Fraser Valley including Chilli...
