West Van woman fined $6,900 for breaking quarantine rules

Staff report
March 10, 2021 12:21pm

A 59-year-old West Vancouver woman was issued a $6,900 fine for breaking COVID-19 quarantine rules.

The fine was issued after the Public Health Agency of Canada passed along information to West Vancouver Police.

On March 4 at 10:25 pm, the agency told West Van police had reason to believe that a woman, who had entered Canada via the Pacific Hwy Border Crossing earlier that day, had breached Canada quarantine requirements.

The PHAC alleged that the woman had not provided an adequate negative COVID-19 test upon arrival, and had visited someone at Lions Gate Hospital shortly after.

On March 5, at 1:20 pm, an officer located her as she was returning home from a walk in West Vancouer.

The woman was issued two separate violation tickets: one for the allegations made by PHAC, and one for the breach of quarantine requirements as observed by the officer.

Both fines totaled $6,900.

The woman claimed she was exempt from the required quarantine, but was unable to produce any official documents to support this.

She was directed back to quarantine at an address in West Vancouver.

“This is a stark reminder that we all have a responsibility to slow the spread of Covid-19,” says Cst. Kevin Goodmurphy.

“There are strict government guidelines that specify how a person must quarantine upon entry to Canada, which includes a requirement to travel directly to their address of quarantine and to remain there for 14 days.”

    Some people feel so entitled that when asked by society to cooperate, they don’t. This is just one example of self-centred anarchy. Not all West Vancouver residents behave like she does. West Vancouver is my hometown. Since February, I have put on a face mask before I leave my Ambleside condo. I was one of only a handful of 110+ residents in my condo building who did so. I was disgusted by their selfish and narcissistic lack of consideration and cooperation.

      I meant to say that I was and am still disgusted by those residents of my building who, unlike me, refused to wear a face mask in the common areas.
