A program to help tackle the mental health crisis is being expanded. Nine more communities have been approved to join the Car program–an initiative that has mental health experts responding to police calls alongside the RCMP in situations where mental distress is involved. As Klaudia Van Emmerik reports, two of the nine communities announced are Penticton and Vernon.
- Vernon man charged after alleged pistol whipping incident
