“We were assured by the government that we would be getting vaccinated sometime in April, but April has rolled around and we’re almost midway through the month,” said Christine Blessin, a third-grade teacher in Chilliwack. “I’m so disappointed.”
The head of Tourism Whistler is hopeful that the town’s new vaccination plan will help the community bounce back from a difficult year.
“Whistler’s entire economy is based on tourism, so this has been an incredibly challenging year for all of us,” president and chief executive officer Barrett Fisher said.
“We are grateful to our provincial health authorities for making this happen. The community vaccination program will help us on the road to recovery.”
