Ocean Falls BC Residents Need Your Help
Les & Toni from Ocean Falls Need Your Help. Many of us who have been stopping in OF on our way N or S , have enjoyed the hospitality of the Locals. Last year Les told me of the problems getting his Daughter-in-Law out of Venezuela. I was just informed that the quest is still on going. If any TF Canadians would like to help this family, I know that they would be very appreciative.
" Les Marston Ocean Falls
We are coming up on the last days of the petition. PLEASE, if you did not sign it and/or share it, please do it now. Our daughter-in-law Genesis and the youngest grandson Zachary are stuck in Venezuela while our son and two oldest grandchildren are here in Ocean Falls. We need the government to approve a special visa to allow families who are the middle of their application process to be allowed into Canada to finish out the wait for their paperwork to be approved.
Normally applications are approved within 1 year, but everything has been stopped because of Covid. Our daughter-in-law Genesis's application is now 17 months old, with no indication of when work will begin again on the process. Our grandchildren need to be together with each other and their mother! Please help by signing the petition and sharing with others. Thank You so much!

I tried and no matter what I did it wouldn't allow me to sign as it didn't like my phone number, kept getting "only numbers and hyphens" and I only listed numbers and hyphens, tried about 4 different ways - no go.
