From the tragic findings of children buried at residential schools to devastating floods and mudslides, British Columbia has had quite a 2021.
It was in late May that the devastating news of children being found in shallow unmarked graves on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School shocked the world.
This was also the year that the term atmospheric river became a reality for those living on the south coast of the province.
In December, an average of six people per day are dying from the toxic drug supply in B.C. according to the province’s chief coroner.
And wrapping a year-end review is the on-going pandemic.
With the new Omicron variant now taking over as the dominant strain around the world is spreading rapidly and is easily transmissible.
The provincial government has now enacted more restrictions to stop the spread of the virus.
But amid all those challenges, there were still heart-warming stories of community members coming together to help those in need.
Watch the full recap from APTN National News video journalist Tina House above.
