Happy Valentines’ Day. It’s just quick news today:

• A new report on tent encampments across Canada calls for urgent action from all levels of government to end what the federal housing advocate describes as a "life and death crisis."

• UNBC has been named one of the top employer’s in B.C., in part because of work arrangments that include compressed work weeks and work-from-home options.

• Also in UNBC news, its president says dropping international student numbers should not affect its budget.

• Annual Women’s Memorial March happening from 12 to 3.

• Local Mounties trying to piece together a pair of drive-by shootings hours apart.
