Party held on Vancouver beach despite social distancing pleas from health officials

Description (Dublin Core)

Article and attached video showing a large crowd on a beach in Vancouver's Stanley Park, mostly without masks and not physical distancing. The man taking the video states that this gathering is allowed as cases are on the wane however that is not accurate; groups of 50 or more are still not permitted.
"The Ministry of Health is aware of the incident and has announced it will hold a special news conference today at 3 p.m., likely to address a spike in cases and a lack of social distancing.

It could mean that stricter measures are coming, after B.C.’s health officials hinted earlier this week they may be necessary if people don’t follow the guidelines.

Christine Ulmer, a spokeswoman for the Vancouver park board, said the drum circle held Tuesday at Third Beach was an unsanctioned and unpermitted event that is organized regularly by community members without consultation with the board.

The park board doesn’t have an ability to enforce any physical-distancing recommendations, as that falls under the purview of the province, she said."
