  1. Thank you to everyone who bought our merch at the Nanaimo Infusion family photo event.

    Today, Jocelyn and I donated the profits (almost $1200) to the Nanaimo Regional Hospital Foundation.

    These are the people who funded our ICU and BC's first senior-friendly emergency unit, and who are working to bring a cancer centre to #Nanaimo so families here don't have to travel off-island for treatment.

  3. Old growth trees being transported on #bchwy19 near #Nanaimo this morning.

    I would guess this is just one tree, likely transported by several truck loads. Looks like a western red cedar, about 200-300 years old.

    They are still logging these in previously reserved areas along the Alberni Inlet (Nahmint) and on the North Island. 😢

    These were in 8-10ft chunks on the truck. Not sure what their destination would be. Possibly chipoing for pulp/paper or 🤷‍♂️

    A total open fire ban starts today which usually means the forests shut down.

    Not sure if that is the case, as the fire danger is not extreme but any reason to stop cutting these elders would be worth it.

  11. I'm thrilled to announce that EDMONTON is the first community to use the Nanaimo Infusion model to invite tourists and healthcare workers to their area!

    The amazing local volunteer team behind the #Edmonton Healthcare Infusion chapter are putting it together. 🙂 See visitalberta.healthcareinfusio

    Jocelyn and I are working on a full playbook, templates, and videos so that YOUR community can learn from the #Nanaimo experience. Expect that in late-May.

  12. "Originally, their goal was to try and attract one U.S. nurse to move to #Nanaimo but Maffin estimates that close to 50 [healthcare workers have moved to the Island] since he and his wife started the Healthcare Infusion a year ago."

  14. Watching @tod Tod’s Infusion event on YouTube! Just heard the Premier welcome everyone. Multiple MLAs and MPs there and there must be a couple thousand people! The premier said 3000 American health care workers have signed up in the B.C. Health care process in the last 10 months!

    34 HCWs from the USA have started working in Nanaimo alone!!

  21. have a time to kill but won't go past 90% bad for the battery and slow anyway. dropped to 16-20kW for 88-90% from a max of 45kW #YYJ #bcferry #boats #travel #nanaimo #gabriola #family

  22. I think the BC Hydro meter here is indicating the charging lot is currently drawing 513KW! Which would be about right for 5 cars! #YYJ #bcferry #boats #travel #nanaimo #gabriola #family
