  “[The #Nanaimo Infusion] has provided a noticeable boost in staffing — not only at the hospital, but also at medical clinics across the region, helping address a chronic shortage of care providers. “The success, according to organizers Tod and Jocelyn Maffin, is the grassroots nature of the Infusion premise, which has since expanded to dozens of other communities nationwide.” https://nanaimonewsnow.com/2026/07/30/nnns-last-10-infusion-of-healthcare-workers-to-nanaimo-matching-infrastructure-bo...

He snuck in early and opened the Trans-Canada Highway near Revelstoke, weeks before the feds' planned national ceremony at Rogers Pass.
