In November, BC was hit by floods that submerged communities, closed highways, disrupted supply lines and evacuated residents. The images were striking.

The government called the calamity unprecedented. But investigations raise questions about preparedness. The early alert system failed to perform and years of reports weren’t heeded. The perils of waiting are now clear.

As experts raise concerns about durability of pipelines and other infrastructure, B.C. is developing a new flood strategy.

What can we learn from this disaster? Dive deep into the big flood.

The uncovering of unmarked graves from former residential schools continues to shake the country. And the country needs to be shaken.

We know the harrowing scars of these institutions. How the deep disregard of Indigenous people through colonialism created a genocide. How the settlers that spoke up against the status quo were not heeded.

Indigenous communities continue to live the pain but still manage to find hope. Powerful art and books evoke the horror, and Elders’ Oral Histories carry the weight.

The path towards reconciliation and healing is long. Follow us into our dark history to see its reality in the present.
