    The north end of Tyee Spit in Campbell River is covered with 50,000 flags to remember the victims of the opioid crisis across Canada since it was declared in 2016. It is an art installation by Campbell River artist and coun. Ron Kerr. It’s called The Blue Hat Memorial Project, a display that includes 36,000 blue flags, which represent the approximate number of unregulated drug deaths of men and boys. This represents around 75 per cent of the total deaths in Canada.

    Tracy Bekker says the red flags were already building before the head of a paving crew told her how much the impromptu job would cost. “My animal instincts didn’t kick in until he told me it was going to be $28,000,” Bekker told CHEK News. “I’m like, ‘No, I’m not paying that. Forget it.’ Like this wasn’t part of our budget. They threatened to put a lien on our business and take us to court.
