Northern Health’s Chief Medical Health Officer is recommending revaccination for approximately 1,575 more individuals immunized in Terrace, Stewart and surrounding First Nations communities between October 2022 and September 2023.
There has been an increase in drug poisoning/overdose events in Terrace. Overdoses have been linked to smoking a purple substance sold as “down” causing prolonged sedation and requiring many doses of Naloxone to reverse.
There has been an increase in overdoses in Prince George. Overdoses may be linked to a brown and pink substance sold as DOWN, both testing positive for high concentrations of fentanyl and benzodiazepines causing sudden overdose and requiring a higher number of naloxone dosages.

Linsa Lazar, originally from Mumbai, India, is a "rising star" at Northern Health.

That’s according to her manager, Brad Leier, who oversees acute and tertiary specialized services for the Northwest.

"Linsa is a natural leader. Her initiative and commitment to high-quality care is evident in how she approaches her work,” he says. “She’s a pleasure to work with and has a way with people, both staff and clients, that helps them feel at ease.”
