Rural B.C. officials receive ‘gratitude’ over landfill resolution before ostrich cull
May 16, 2025
A member of a British Columbia regional district says a decision not to allow the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to dispose of ostrich carcasses in its landfills pending further testing of the birds has been met with “gratitude.” The Regional District of Central Kootenay board resolved “to withhold acceptance, at any landfill” of ostrich carcasses from a farm in Edgewood, B.C., where as many as 400 ostriches are expected to be culled over exposure to the avian flu.

Family doctor Danielle Smith has treated dozens of patients with itchy, painful rashes at her B.C. practice, but the blotchy red dots she saw earlier this year puzzled her. The rash was concentrated on the patient’s face and spread out as it moved down the body, almost as if a red bucket of paint had been poured over the person’s head.Dr. Smith asked her colleague and fellow physician Karina Zeidler for help. The patient was asked a series of questions, including about their travel history. Blood work was ordered. A urine sample was collected. The person’s nose was swabbed.
