Waffles, famous kisses and smart dogs: There were some good B.C. stories in 2021

As the pandemic drags on, and as parts of B.C. were hit with heat waves, wildfires, and floods, sometimes it may have seemed as if there was only bad news to report. 

The year 2021 has been a hard one for so many.

As the pandemic drags on, and as parts of B.C. were hit with heat waves, wildfires, floods, and storms, sometimes it may have seemed as if there was only bad news to report.

But amidst loss and destruction, British Columbians pulled together to save animals, raise money for charities, and save those in need.

Here’s a look at some of the good news stories from 2021.

In March, Nature’s Path, a Richmond-based organic food producer, came to the aid of a desperate mother who was looking for their specific brand of waffles, which were the only thing her special-needs son would eat.

Nine-year-old Jerico Roman has autism along with extreme oral aversion and complex eating challenges, and will eat virtually nothing but this particular type of maple cinnamon waffle.

His mother, Jenna, told Global News the growing boy usually puts down two boxes of the waffles a day.

But panic had set in when she learned the product had been discontinued.
