    ONGOING RESPONSE TO SEVERE WEATHER EVENT

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Avoid Using Gas-Powered Equipment Indoors

    (ORILLIA, ON) – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is urging all residents to avoid using barbeques, portable stoves, generators and other gas-powered appliances indoors. These devices produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can be fatal.

    Carbon monoxide is produced when fuel is burned. Without proper ventilation, it can accumulate inside, posing a serious safety risk. Additionally, hard-wired carbon detectors may not function during power outages, leaving you unaware of rising levels.

    For those seeking heat or a warm meal, the OPP advises residents to visit friends or family members who have heat and power, or to attend a warming or relief centre in your area. Information about these centres is available on township websites. You can also call 211 for information specific to your area.

    For those with power, the OPP encourages you to reach out to neighbours, family and friends. Check on those you care about and invite them over to warm up. A hot beverage or a warm meal can go a long way for those without power.

    The OPP understands that residents may become frustrated as they await power restoration. Safety remains our top priority. Please do not put yourself at risk by using gas-powered appliances indoors.

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
