Ebola: The Basic Facts
What is Ebola? Is an infectious but slow spreading virus
What Does Ebola Feel like? The first symptoms are the sudden onset of a very high fever, fatigue, muscle
pain, headache and sore throat. This is followed by vomiting, diarrhea, rash, symptoms of impaired kidney
and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding (e.g. oozing from the gums, blood
in the stools). These symptoms are so intense, that someone who is experiencing them would be in the hospital and isolated.
When is Someone Contagious? A person who has Ebola is able to infect someone if they develop symptoms,
which can take 2 - 21 days after having contact with the virus.
How Can You Get Ebola? To catch Ebola, you would have to come into direct contact with a symptomatic
person’s vomit, urine, feces, breast milk, semen or blood. What this means is that you would have to get
these body fluids directly into your mouth, nose, eyes or into a cut on your body. The Ebola virus is NOT airborne.
Ebola is NOT as easy to catch as the media makes it seem. If you do not come into contact with someone
who has Ebola and is symptomatic, you will not get it.

Halloween Safety
Halloween is a time of great excitement for children but the thrills can make them forget some of the safety rules they
have learned. It is important to keep your child's safety in mind when planning costumes, decorations, treats and activities on the special day itself. Lit jack-o-lanterns, flimsy or complicated costumes, street traffic and unsafe treats are just
some of the risks. With some simple precautions, you can make sure that Halloween is a safe and happy experience for
the whole family.
Safety tips: Costumes
Cold and wet weather can be harmful to children. Choose costumes that can be worn over warm clothing, but are
not baggy enough to trip over.
Flammable materials, flowing skirts, baggy sleeves and over-sized costumes can all be hazards around candles or
flames. Avoid costumes with baggy sleeves or flowing skirts and look for costumes, beards and wigs that are labelled "Flame-Resistant." Nylon or heavyweight polyester costumes are best. Remember, "Flame-Resistant" does
not mean fire-proof.
Pick brightly coloured costumes that can be clearly seen by motorists. Add reflective tape to the costume to increase visibility.
Use make-up or face paint instead of masks. Improperly fitted masks can interfere with your child's vision or
breathing. If you do choose a mask, make sure it fits properly and allows them to see and breathe properly.
Toy weapons such as swords, knives and other accessories can cause injuries so make sure they are always made
of flexible material.
Coloured contact lenses that change eye colour should be avoided because they can cause injury to a child's eyes.
Decorations
To avoid injuries, let children draw a face or design on the pumpkin and then have an adult carve it.
Candles, jack-o-lanterns, lighters and matches are all fire hazards. Instead of candles, consider using a small flashlight or battery candle to light your jack-o-lantern. Always keep candles, matches and lighters in a place that children cannot reach.
Avoid using Halloween candles with multiple wicks. They can produce a single high flame or several large flames
that create intense heat and may ignite nearby materials like curtains and window sills.
Indoor and outdoor decorative lights can be fire hazards. Check lights for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare
wires or loose connections. Make sure they are certified by a recognized organization like the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) or the Underwriters' Laboratory of Canada (ULC). Do not overload extension cords.
Make your home safe by removing objects around the outside of your house that could cause children to trip or
fall. Turn on your outside lights so that children know they can visit.
Keep pets inside and away from trick-or-treaters and lit candles, especially if they are easily frightened or overly
excitable. Go trick or treating with your children each year until they are old enough to go with a friend.
Children who are alone are vulnerable to injury and bullying by older children or may encounter a predator. When
they are old enough, make sure they go with a friend or in a group, and know the routes they will be taking. You
can also follow along at a distance to keep an eye on them.
Musqueam Health Dept. Newsletter—Oct.24, 2014
Continued 2/2…
Trick or treating
Tell your children to walk, not run from house to house and to stay on the sidewalk or at the side of the road facing traffic. They should only cross the road at the corner and look both ways before crossing.
If you are driving on Halloween, be aware of children, drive slowly and enter and exit driveways and alleyways
with caution.
Give each child a flashlight to carry, to make them more visible to motorists and others.
Tell your children to stay in well-lit areas and only visit homes that have their outside lights turned on.
Make sure they know never to go inside homes or cars.
Take a backpack along, to empty goodies into if the loot bag becomes too heavy.
Tell your children not to eat any goodies until you have looked them over. Throw out any treats that are not
commercially wrapped, have loose or torn wrappers or have holes in the wrappers. If you suspect tampering
with any of the treats, notify the police. Serve dinner before your children go out, so that they will be less tempted to eat goodies along the way.
Be cautious about giving children any treats that could be potential choking hazards. Some treats such as chewy
candies, peanuts and hard candies could be a choking hazard.
Check toys or novelty items for small parts. If they do have small parts, do not let children under three years of
age play with them.

individuals to join our team in a full time Sales/Lodge Manager capacity.
OUR PHILOSPHY
When we opened the doors of our first sport-fishing lodge back in 1995, our business was
based on the three simple things we shared with all of our guests; a love for outdoor adventure,
the joy of entertaining close friends and an obsession with fishing in beautiful British Columbia.
This became the foundation for the many extraordinary seasons to come.
Our unique fishing lodge locations have been carefully selected based on three concepts;
exclusivity, remoteness and proximity to the most productive fishing grounds BC have to offer.

West coast Resorts is dedicated to providing guests the opportunity to safely fish the most
