Tempers flared at Kaslo City Hall on January 24 as council waded knee-deep into the local protest against COVID health policies implemented by the Province.
“The group called on the Village to declare a “mandate-free Kaslo,” saying that the vaccine mandates were harming the community and council had to address the issue. Most of their presentation was relating anecdotal stories about the impacts of the vaccine mandates.
“Never before has one’s personal choice resulted in so much fear and a willingness to vilify and ostracize others based upon whether or not one is vaccinated,” the group said in its written presentation. “We believe that these measures are causing more harm to our community than the virus itself. The civil ties that bind us together are straining.”
