Only in British Columbia: Make a Will Week: October 4-10, 2020 Missed it this year? Can you wait until 2021

Make a Will Week

October 4-10, 2020, was Make-a-Will Week in British Columbia. Its purpose is to encourage the public to write their will or bring an existing will up-to-date.

Check back in 2021 for confirmation that the next Make-a-Will Week has been proclaimed.

Making a will is now even easier following legislative changes in August of 2020 that allow people who are in different locations to use technology to sign and witness a will.  The changes will also soon give electronic wills the same recognition as physical wills.

If you don’t have a will, you’re not alone. According to a 2014 report for BC Notaries, just 55 per cent of British Columbians have a signed, legally valid and up-to-date will.

A will is the best way to ensure that the people, charities and organizations you cherish most receive the benefit of your estate.

If you die without a will, your estate may not be distributed in the way you would have wished and the costs of administering your estate may also be higher.

Having a will helps ensure that important questions for parents – like who will raise your young children if both you and your spouse die – are answered.

The cost to have a will written depends on the complexity of your situation. Ask a notary or lawyer for an estimate. If your situation is straightforward, you may be able to write your own will using a kit from a store or an online service provider. However, obtaining the assistance of a professional is always a good idea.

Capilano River Cable Pool Fishing, Flagged: "IF YOU DON'T KNOW WETHER IT'S A TROUT OR A SALMON, LET IT GO!"


a castrated ram.
 
 
 Inside the open Hatchery are the "Thankfully Missed by Fishermen fish":
 
 
 
 

The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson PC, MP, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard

 

One other minor detail for the Fisheries Minister to correct forthwith: Metro Vancouver's Capilano River Regional Park has provided flush toilets during the whole of the time of Covid-19, up at Cleveland Dam.

Why are visitors to the Fish Hatchery subjected to Portable Toilets, still.

 


 

 And 

Women and Men treated alike


The Hatchery is OPEN and the washrooms inside the building have garbage cans blocking the MEN and WOMEN locked doors.    Surely there's enough staff inside the facility to wipe things down each evening/morning.   ..... and the soap dispensers in the two portable toilets are DRY, always.  

Why is there a double standard?

Does Covid-19 travel through connecting High Rise Tower / Apartment Exhaust Vents?



One fire?   Exhausts on multiple floors?

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada:

https://blogborgcollective.blogspot.com/2016/12/vancouver-kitchen-exhaust-vent-test.html





6 Vents - 6 Apartments
If the Exhaust fans are connected, and they are in this apartment, then, is the fresh air supply connected in the same way and from a single source?

And just not in Vancouver.

"The Lions" have always practiced social distancing. In light of Covid-19, Metro Vancouver renamed them "2M"

A re-sign of the times.




Most days, the other surrounding geographic features are shrouded in clouds, which, if you maintain your position while looking at 2M, their names will be revealed too.

"Help Keep Parks Open"
"Pass in Single File"
"Keep to the Right"
"Stay 2M Apart"
"Do Your Part"
