British Columbia’s provincial health officer says she’s optimistic the province is moving to a “better place” that could see more COVID-19 restrictions lifted this month before spring break.

Dr. Bonnie Henry says a decline in hospitalizations, immunity from vaccination and the availability of at-home rapid tests point the way forward to normal activities like high school graduations that youth in particular need to feel connected to others.
