Four psychiatrists depart Vernon hospital amid concerns

Four psychiatrists have resigned from their acute-care and on-call duties at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Interior Health confirmed Thursday, Oct. 23. While three of the doctors will continue community practice, their departure raises concerns over mental-health service stability in the region. Interior Health says the resignations were for “separate and unrelated personal reasons,” though the BC Conservatives allege excessive workloads and lack of support drove the exits. The authority is working with partners to recruit replacements and ensure continued access to psychiatric care. Six psychiatrists remain under contract to provide acute services at the hospital.

Surrey Writers’ Conference Seeks $300K After Strike Blow

The Surrey International Writers’ Conference (SiWC) has launched a $300,000 fundraising appeal after cancelling its 2025 event due to a strike at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel. The cancellation, the first in the conference’s 33-year history, caused significant financial losses. Organizers aim to replenish their contingency fund, cover lost revenue, and secure the conference’s return in October 2026. The strike, involving over 140 hotel workers represented by Unifor Local 3000, has disrupted the venue’s operations, leaving relocation impossible. Supporters are being urged to contribute to the GoFundMe campaign to safeguard one of Canada’s key literary gatherings.
