The federal government says the largest mass immunization effort in Canadian history is expected to begin this week. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Ottawa expects to receive up to 249,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine developed by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and German partner BioNTech. Health Canada has approved its use. The second vaccine in line for approval in Canada is from Moderna. The Canadian military will have a role to play in vaccine distribution. Various provinces have started spelling out their plans as well. Here’s a look at what they’ve said so far:

She said debris in the creek dammed a culvert that was installed by the Department of Transportation last year and rising water levels washed away her bridge.
And she s been stuck at home ever since with the exception of taking a small dingy across the creek to celebrate her 64th birthday on the side of the road last weekend with a slice of pizza.
Raymond heard about Coleman s situation the morning after the heavy rainstorm. So he drove out to see the damage.

At first I thought it was 100,000 (masks), but then they said one million, and I was like, ‘wow,’ said Shaneen Robinson-Desjarlais, board chair of the patrol.
