Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad has backtracked comments he made on his Facebook page last week regarding the COVID-19 Immunization Plan.
In the original post he questioned who makes the decision to vaccinate younger Indigenous residents in the Fort. St James community instead of the elderly population.
According to Rustad in the post, he received a number of calls and messages from people in the Fort St. James community.
Rustad later commented on that same post that he was in touch with Northern Health and vaccine allocation decisions are made by Dr. Bonnie Henry and Minister of Health Adrian Dix.

It has been almost a year now that COVID-19 has disrupted so much of our lives. Sleep has been elusive for many. Thinking, worrying, over-thinking, stress, and isolation are just some things that cause sleepless nights. There are then two choices: stay awake or find strategies to fall asleep. One strategy that our family has tried is W̱ЌEL, W̱,ЌELIWENS which means “sleep meditation.” I have noticed that all of our sleep meditation options are in the English language. What I wanted to do for our children who attend ȽÁU, WELṈEW̱ Tribal School, located near Brentwood Bay and on W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip) territory in W̱SÁNEĆ, was to create a sleep meditation in SENĆOŦEN, which is the name of our language.
