Inside the slide, her leg hit the top and she heard her bone break, Lalonde said. She was taken to hospital with her shin broken in two places and a hairline fracture near her ankle.

B.C.’s Court of Appeal has reduced the sentence for a man who pushed a woman off a cliff in Nanaimo. Kyle Ordway was sentenced to four years less time served after pleading guilty to manslaughter last August, after pushing Amy Watts, 27, off a 15-metre cliff near Nanaimo City Hall on May 8, 2021. Police found Watts’s body in a wooded ravine almost a month later, on June 3.

Thank you @katiederosayyj for giving Sam’s story a platform. She deserved so much better.
“I believe change needs to happen,” @adriandix said re Providence Health's policy banning medically assisted death in its health facilities. His statement comes after my story about Sam O'Neill who was forced to transfer out of St. Paul's to receive MAID https://t.co/FIYR7LtLHs
I’m rising from the Twitter dead to say hello, I’m back at the @timescolonist! My body is (mostly) recovered from hiking approximately 1 million miles (okay, 2,650) on the PCT, but I think my heart will always be a little bit wild. What’s new on the Island? Open to story ideas! https://t.co/jtvfVtgUYv
Callout: I'm looking for groups of gal pals who are celebrating Galentines Day next week and willing to chat with me about their plans for a story in the @timescolonist ! Email is in my bio or you can send me a message :)
