Logging, mining, cattle, fishing and tourism will be under unheard-of stress due to lack of water and the threat of more wildfires. During the June heat wave, BC Hydro dealt with scores, if not hundreds, of local power outages, often resulting from heat-related equipment failure. One blacked out Sointula, on Malcolm Island, for half a day; another shut down electricity for north Vancouver Island region for almost 24 hours. Food spoiled, and backup generators were needed to pump water out of wells. Internet access was down for days.
Future heat waves will aggravate and extend such events. Homeowners and businesses will find it harder and more expensive to get insurance.

However, the number of those eligible who aren’t immunized, “that’s huge, because that’s 20 per cent that is unvaccinated,” said Dr. Brian Conway, medical director of the Vancouver Infectious Diseases Centre. “And then [there are] 10 per cent who are fully vaccinated that didn’t respond to the vaccine, because the vaccine doesn’t work 100 per cent of the time. “So now we’re up to 30 per cent, and it might be higher than that, because the vaccine may not protect as well against the Delta and Lambda variants,” Conway added. And even if vaccinated individuals are protected against serious illness, Conway said they can still act as vectors of the variants and infect people who are more vulnerable to COVID 19.
