There would be just a small number if that were increased to 60 per cent but a big surge would occur if people return to 80 per cent of normal contact with others.

Mounties in Langley are looking for two people who burst into a home in the community, demanded money from a man and then stabbed him several times before fleeing. Investigators describe the June 2nd attack as a targeted home invasion. They say two other people were home but were not hurt when the masked intruders broke into the house.
