Sidney McIntyre-Starko was 18 years old when she died of an accidental fentanyl overdose in her dorm room in January 2024. She and her friends had snorted a substance they’d found at the bottom of a box of coolers.

Dr. Michael Kurz is a physician who has written academic papers on best practices around emergency medical dispatch in the United States.

Cleaning up the wreckage of a derelict former B.C. ferry that went up in flames this weekend could take years and millions of dollars, experts say. The former Queen of Sidney was retired from BC Ferries’ fleet in 2000, and has been more on the Fraser River in Mission since it was sold in 2002 to Gerald Tapp. On Saturday morning, it was consumed by flames, sending a massive column of toxic smoke into the air and forcing hundreds of people to shelter in place.
