EARLIER STORY:

Gurmail Sandhu was last seen at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, in the 8900 block of Queen Mary Boulevard in Surrey.

If located, please stay with her and call police.

Gurmail Sandhu is described as a 66-year-old South Asian female, 5’6”, with white hair and brown eyes.

She was last seen wearing a long green traditional shirt and pants. Police and family are concerned for her health and well-being.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 and quote file# 2022-175486.

Dental benefit may not reach families who need it

The federal government plans to send cheques of up to $650 to qualifying low- and medium-income households to help pay for children's dental needs through the same platform used for Canada Child Benefit payments. That is run through the Canada Revenue Agency, which the experts suggest could be a problem because many low-income families are less likely to file tax returns.
