Health officials offer tips on how to safely celebrate Thanksgiving this year

With turkey, thanks, and togetherness at top of mind for many, B.C. health experts have some tips on how to give thanks this holiday season, without giving COVID-19 a chance to spread.

Oct. 12 will mark Thanksgiving across the country, but like just about everything else during the pandemic, it will require sacrifice and adapting, according to B.C.'s Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.

I have been making Thanksgiving dinners for 40 years. I do not need to be lectured on how to do it.

How about just don’t be scared? Is that allowed? Or have we had an edict against it?

FINALLY... i got this one. Dr Henry still believes in Santa. Now im not one to be a KILL-JOY, not ME. However, if everyone in Vancouver can afford to eat their Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner in their own homes, Im sure the HOMELESS can order in their FANCY drumsticks and cranberry sauce in their lean to right between the drug-pusher and the HOOKER - oops thats a label, my bad. Pandemic anyone?

Waiting for Tam to suggest eating the drumstick through a glory hole.
