Throughout that time, many British Columbians, like Vancouver filmmaker Everett Bumstead, have felt deeply disconnected and isolated.

Watch The Opposite of Isolated series now on CBC Vancouver's YouTube. | | |  | | | | Canadian Olympic athletes are amazing to watch on screen – but listening to their stories can be just as entertaining.
