Jesse Allen, 38, was arrested at the scene. Wayne Allen worked at Mount Brenton Gold Course in Chemainus last year and is remembered by head professional Jan Best as a smart, popular young man and an accomplished golfer. “Just a kid that’s hard not to like, really,” Best said. “He was well-liked, well-known in the neighbourhood. He worked for me in the pro shop here.” He said Allen was originally from back east. Manitouwadge is about 330 kilometres east of Thunder Bay. People were shocked at what happened, Best said. “We’re all puzzled by it all.” • An online fundraising page has been launched to support the family.

Second COVID-19 Exposures Reported at Two Secondary Schools
SHARE ON:
Two high schools in the Cowichan Valley School District are now reporting another COVID-19 exposure in January.
Both Chemainus Secondary School and Cowichan Secondary have notified parents of the exposures, which happened late last month.
At both schools, the exposures happened on January 25, 26, 27, and 28, 2021.
Island Health says contact tracing has been done to identify the students and staff who need to isolate themselves for 14 days following the exposure dates.
A letter has been sent to all parents and staff, and Island Health is reminding families that it’s safe for their children to attend the school unless they were contacted individually and told otherwise.
