===== COVID-19 =====

A Kelowna, British Columbia family received a letter on January 11th, 2022 informing them of a forthcoming mandatory [[COVID-19]] vaccine policy that would result in their eviction from the Ronald McDonald House in Vancouver where their four year old son was receiving treatment for leukemia.((Louie, L. (2022, January 10). //Covid-19 Vaccination Policy - Effective January 17, 2022.// True North; Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon. https://tnc.news/media/2022/01/RMH.pdf)) As a result of major public backlash, including a grassroots "call-to-action" campaign initiated by [[Action4Canada]], the Ronald McDonald House relocated the family to the Easter Seals House in Vancouver.((//Contact the Ronald McDonald House in Vancouver, BC and let them know how you feel about evicting a four year old boy with cancer because his mom and dad have made the decision not to take the experimental jab. Demand they reverse their unlawful decision.// (2022, January 12). Action4Canada. https://archive.ph/OLard))
