Across the country public health authorities say they’re making progress of getting vaccines into long-term care facilities. In some regions authorities say there is already proof the inoculations are having an impact. For so many families the vaccine rollout is too little too late. According to the National Institute on Aging, more than 14,000 Canadians in long-term care have died of the virus. Of those, more than 7,600 were in Quebec. One of that province’s hardest his facilities was Herron on Montreal’s West Island. Dozens died in horrible conditions and now a coroners inquiry is underway to determine what went so wrong. Mike Armstrong has our top story.
In the U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is applauding the nations unprecedented vaccination rollout. At least 15 million people have had their first COVID-19 shot and now the next phase begins.

The Black Lives Matter protests of last summer, following the death of George Floyd sparked a racial reckoning. The movement forced Canadians to examine the issues and obstacles people of colour face everyday in this country. And for the Black community, Black only spaces on YouTube, Facebook and other social media sites have emerged as forums to address concerns and to heal. The purpose of these spaces isn’t to exclude anyone, but to offer a platform to connect shared experiences. Candace Daniel explains.
