Vancouver hate crimes, stalking incidents prompt organization to launch 'buddy' system


 
VANCOUVER --
A non-profit organization led by Vancouver youth launched a new program over the weekend to ensure people feel safe in their communities.
The Bolt Safety Society is offering a "Safe Buddies" program, which matches volunteers with seniors, women and anyone else who doesn't feel safe walking home alone. 
The program is in response to recent anti-Asian hate crimes, which have spiked dramatically since the start of the pandemic.
It was also prompted by a recent stalking incident in the city, in which a woman was followed for 40 minutes.
"It's just astounding how all these things are happening so closely and quickly together. We really felt this initiative was necessary," co-founder Vedanshi Vala said.

Future pandemics: B.C. researcher to lead network aimed at helping Canada prepare for health threats


 
VANCOUVER --
A professor at B.C.'s Simon Fraser University is leading a new national program with the goal of helping Canadians better prepare for future pandemics.
Professor Caroline Colijn will oversee the Canadian Network for Modelling Infectious Disease, supported by $2.5 billion in federal funding over the next two years. The network will inform decisions related to public health threats.
"In the past year we've really seen modelling come to the forefront of public conversation in a way that we never have before. People know about variants and they know about exponential growth and they know about flattening the curve," Colijn told CTV News Vancouver.
