Description: Many people in Powell River are more connected to Vancouver Island than the mainland, and for them the public health order’s strong recommendation to avoid non-essential travel to and from the affected regions is an unnecessary hardship. As for the Lower Coast, our closer proximity to Vancouver makes an appeal for exemption even less convincing and less likely to succeed, and perhaps that’s why none of our politicians has pressed the case.
