Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
sorry
panorama-
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
1.9
million
residents,
40
000,
plus
staff
and
volunteers,
20,
diverse
communities
from
burnaby
to
boston
bar.
This
is
the
fraser
health
authority.
From
the
onset
of
this
pandemic,
fraser
health
authority
has
been
front
and
center
as
covet.
19
cases
rose
in
surrey,
fraser
health
responded
with
multiple
testing
centers
in
and
around
the
city.
These
centers
were
walk-in
and
drive-throughs
well-staffed
and
efficient
contact
tracers
were
hired
and
contact
tracing
and
ensued.
A
Long-Term
care
homes
were
closely
monitored.
Staff
and
residents
were
vaccinated
hospitals
adapted
to
continue
to
function
as
normally
as
possible,
with
covet
regulations.
When
the
vaccine
was
rolled
out,
fraser
health
mobilized
to
vaccinate
high-risk
populations
as
quickly
and
as
efficiently
as
possible.
They
expanded
to
host
the
most
organized
efficient
vaccine
clinics
across
the
region.
When
those
clinics
started
to
slow,
fraser
health
began
hosting
pop-up
and
mobile
clinics,
including
home
vaccinations
for
those
in
need.
A
The
delta
variant
has
brought
another
escalation
of
cases
in
the
fraser
health
authority
and,
like
other
times,
the
staff
at
fraser
health
is
rallying
to
test,
treat
and
vaccinate
as
hospital
cases.
Surge
staff
are
being
pushed
to
their
limits.
I'm
in
awe
of
how
fraser
health
authority
has
rallied
to
effectively
fight
this
pandemic.
They
continue
to
meet
day
every
day
and
every
challenge
with
kindness,
patience
and
professionalism.
A
I
would
like
to
thank
all
staff
and
volunteers
within
the
fraser
health
authority
for
everything
they
have
done
to
educate,
test,
treat
and
protect
everyone
in
the
region.
During
this
pandemic
in
the
largest
and
most
often
challenging
health
authority,
we
have
led
with
care
and
respect,
thank
you
and
to
everyone
who
is
not
vaccinated.
