TORONTO - A woman from British
Columbia is the first person in North
America to be diagnosed with H7N9
bird flu, after apparently contracting
the virus while travelling in China earlier
this month, Canadian health officials
said Monday.
A man travelling with the woman was
also sick with an influenza- like illness
around the same time, and it's believed
he too was infected, but test results are
still pending, said Dr. Bonnie Henry,
B. C.' s deputy provincial health officer.
" We think it's very likely that the
other person also had the same influenza,"
Henry said during a teleconference
organized by the Public Health
Agency of Canada.
The couple, who are in their 50s,
were not sick enough to require hospitalization.
They were treated with the
flu drug oseltamivir - sold under the
brand name Tamiflu - and were selfisolating
in their home, said Dr. Reka
Gustafson, medical health officer for
Vancouver Coastal Health.
Officials would only say they were residents
of B. C.' s Lower Mainland region.
They have recovered, the officials said.
H7N9 is a subtype of flu that infects
poultry. But in March 2013, authorities
in China reported several cases
of human infections. Since then, nearly
500 human infections have been diagnosed.

S T. ALBERT, Alta. - The sister of an Alberta
Mountie told mourners at his funeral
Monday he would want them to live life the
way he did - with joy, passion and with every
effort to make the world a better place.
" He would want us to throw ourselves into
the things that bring us joy and to do it for him.
He would want us to follow our hearts... he certainly
did that," Mona Wynn said in her eulogy
before thousands at
a recreation centre
in St. Albert, Alta.
" David would
want us to forgive.
He was a peaceful
man. He didn't have
the time to even notice
a grudge much
less hold one."
Const. David
Wynn, 42, died
last Wednesday,
four days after
he and auxiliary
Const. Derek Bond
were shot during a
struggle with a suspected car thief at a casino
in St. Albert. He was shot in the head and never
regained consciousness before he died.
The shooter, career criminal Shawn Rehn,
killed himself hours later.
Wynn's sister remembered her brother as a
person who brought enthusiasm to everything
he did, be it scuba diving, swimming, fly fishing,
spending time with his family or serving
his community and country.
" Over the past 10 days, there has been such
an outpouring of stories about Dave and obvious
love for him from the people that he has touched
that I have realized he was far more than I ever
imagined," she said.
" Dave was an ordinary man with an extraordinary
capacity to make the world a better
place for everyone around him."
She noted her brother's organs and tissue
were donated, and the family has been told they
will help as many as 35 people.
Insp. Kevin Murray of the RCMP called him
" the finest example of a front- line police officer."
The Rankin Family and Paul Brandt both performed
songs in Wynn's memory. Two friends
and colleagues from his paramedic days in
Bridgewater, N. S., also sang an emotional song
about the life of a first responder.
Earlier in the day, the skirl of bagpipes filled
the air as a procession of 2,000 police officers,
military members and first responders wound
its way through the streets of St. Albert.
A riderless horse, a pair of brown boots turned
backward in the stirrups, led a black hearse
carrying Wynn's coffin to the funeral service.
The procession included 860 Mounties in their
traditional red serge and 450 officers from the
municipal police force in nearby Edmonton.
The Mounties came from across Canada and
from as far away as Newfoundland and Nunavut.
A handful made the trip from Bridgewater.
Hundreds of spectators, who were encouraged
to wear red, lined the procession route
under sunny skies and unseasonably warm temperatures.
Many were holding Canadian flags
and one giant flag was strung from the erected
ladder of a fire truck.
Thousands of white ribbons were tied to trees
and poles along the route.
" We lost an important person in our society,
and we just wanted to be here to pay our respects,"
said Beverly White, who lives about five
minutes from the shooting scene and attended
the procession with her grandson. " It's going to
be an emotional day."
Mounties were also remembering Wynn at
mini- memorials at detachments across the
country.
In Winnipeg, members of the Winnipeg Police
Service, RCMP and members of the public gathered
at RCMP D Division on Portage Avenue to
remember Wynn, who is survived by his wife,
Shelly, and his three sons, Matt, Nathan and Alex.

Const. David Wynn
Nation mourns slain RCMP officer
Alberta constable
remembered as
' a peaceful man '
By John Cotter and Chris Purdy
" David would want us to follow our hearts, to
do the things that we love. He certainly did that.
He took on things with such heart. Swimming,
scuba diving, model trains, camping - all
things he put his heart into."
- Wynn's sister Mona Wynn
" From the moment I met Dave, I could tell he
was kind, generous and above all proud of his
family and his accomplishment of graduating
from the RCMP - a pride that was easily transferred
to all of us who attended his ceremony.
As many of you know, it was easy to be proud
of Dave."
- Wynn's cousin Tina Manetta
" It's been said that we shouldn't pray to be
sheltered from danger, but rather to be fearless
when confronting it. Dave was fearless.
The courage he brought to the execution of his
duties is amplified by the fact that he did so
on behalf of others. Those he swore to protect
- the good people of St. Albert, Albertans,
Canadians."
- RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson
" We really need to support the people who help
save our country - keep it safe."
- Glenn White, one of the St. Albert residents
who lined the streets for the funeral procession
