On that same day, Elizabeth May, Green Party leader, and Kennedy Stewart, NDP MP for Burnaby South, were arrested and released. In total, more than 150 people — — have been Traditiong arrested protesting the Kinder Morgan pipeline this weekend on Burnaby Mountain. Vancou- ver lawyer Sarah Rauch said arrests can have far-reaching consequences, but that these con- sequences affect each person dif- ferently. “Tt isn't a one size fits all incident in everyone’s lives but it’s certainly a major incident,” she said. Rauch said previous clients have the Coast had difficulties with job applica- tions and border crossings after they were arrested for participating in protests. “The experience of being arrested is something you think you might be ready for, but when it’s done it might be much more _ trau- matic.” es Sylus_ Brad- ley, who is part of a youth council trying to recruit more protesters, said that the timing is right to bring in younger activists. “Youth give people hope, we're strong, able-bodied people that can get a lot done in a small amount of time,” he said. DIY OD training for City Lifeguards, other city workers on their own for Naloxone training By LISA STEACY ‘The city of Vancouver has no plan to offer Naloxone training to the lifeguards that will be staffing outdoor beaches and pools this summer. There are about 100 lifeguards on duty on any given summer day, 70 of which are hired specifically for the season. On March 23, city manager Sadhu Johnston announced that city and park board employees who already have Naloxone training and kits can administer the overdose treatment on the job. While frontline workers and first-responders are trained and equipped, the city hasn't decided on the next phase of training, when it will happen or who will get it. Cheryl Sibany, Program Manag- er at the BC Yukon Branch of the Lifesaving Society, said lifeguards are ideal candidates for Naloxone training. "We hope that they take ad- vantage of the fact that they have trained first-aiders that would be more than willing to, I believe, fol- low their life-saving, their first aid training and be of assistance where they can,” she said. Michael Wiebe, park board com- missioner, said all lifeguards will be told that if they have training and equipment, they can use it this summer. “There are [employees] that say I'm trained, I want to do this, I've got my kit. It is not okay that I will sit by,” he said. According to Wiebe, making the training mandatory would require a renegotiation of the contract with the union. Matthew MacCaull, a City of Vancouver lifeguard who has worked on beaches for 17 summers, said lifeguards are out there to pre- vent accidents and to save lives. "We have training in lifesaving and preventative measures to help people in distress so it's definitely something that is well within our capabilities"
