Join us on March 2 at 7 p.m. Eastern for Broadview Live
We’ll explore the devastating impact of wildfires — and the climate crisis — on human lives and learn about how we can take action.
United Church minister and Broadview contributor Christopher White will host a conversation with Bethany Ricker, a family physician based in Nanamio B.C., and Amber Vigh, a mother and advocate, as they explore the intersections of climate, health and community.
After our guests have spoken, there will be some time for discussion.
Bethany Ricker is a family physician based in Nanaimo, B.C., co-chair of the British Columbia Regional Committee of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment and a board member of the Nanaimo Climate Action Hub. Ricker brings a powerful perspective at the intersection of health, climate and community care — along with special interests in maternity care and outreach medicine.
Amber Vigh is a mother of three who lives in 100 Mile House, B.C. Her son, Carter, tragically died on July 11, 2023 of an asthma attack exacerbated by wildfire smoke. With the help of the B.C. Lung Foundation, Vigh and her family have started Carter’s Project, an initiative to bring air quality monitors to towns across B.C. that don’t have adequate monitoring systems and to educate the public on asthma and air quality. Carter’s story was featured in “Children of Smoke” in our March/April 2026 issue.
