  1. Casa en Surrey disparada tres veces este mes — policía investiga La policía de Surrey informó que una vivienda en la cuadra 11000 de la calle 140A (Guildford) fue supuestamente tiroteada el 7, 27 y 28 de diciembre, todas en la mañana. Se cree que los ataques estaban dirigidos a un residente. No hubo heridos ni detenciones; las autoridades dicen que probablemente no están vinculados a pandillas o a extorsiones dirigidas a la comunidad surasiática.

  2. Lluvias torrenciales cierran autopistas en la costa norte; algunas ya reabrieron Un sistema estancado dejó fuertes precipitaciones — unos 203 mm en Prince Rupert — y cortó el acceso por carretera. La Highway 16 fue cerrada en ambos sentidos; DriveBC la reabrió más tarde pero advierte de acumulación de agua y posibles daños en la vía. Otros registros: Green Island Lighthouse 180 mm; Haida Gwaii 148 mm. El Centro de Pronósticos de Ríos emitió avisos de inundación.

  3. Sindicato de paramédicos advierte sobre posible acción laboral tras ruptura de negociaciones Ambulance Paramedics of British Columbia, que representa a miles de paramédicos, despachadores y operadores, dice que las negociaciones con BC Emergency Health Services — iniciadas en septiembre — se quebraron antes de Navidad. El sindicato consulta a sus afiliados sobre medidas, incluida la posibilidad de huelga, y pide protección frente a la subcontratación, mejores modelos de despliegue en áreas rurales y apoyo de salud mental.

  4. Paciente equivocado llevado a domicilio en Surrey; se inician revisiones Se han abierto al menos dos investigaciones tras el traslado por un contratista de Fraser Health del paciente equivocado a una casa en Surrey el 22 de diciembre. El familiar Sunny Hundal afirma que su padre aún estaba en Surrey Memorial Hospital cuando otro paciente fue dejado en la vivienda. Fraser Health no ha facilitado todos los detalles; las indagaciones continúan.

  5. 80 nombramientos a la Orden de Canadá; entre ellos Nardwuar y Raffi La gobernadora general Mary Simon anunció 80 nuevas designaciones a la Orden de Canadá, incluyendo al entrevistador Nardwuar (John Ruskin), el cantante infantil Raffi y la artista country Terri Clark.

  6. Avistamiento de taiga flycatcher, raro en América del Norte, atrae a Vancouver Un taiga flycatcher, presuntamente el primero documentado en Canadá, fue detectado el 25 de diciembre cerca del Vancouver Aquatic Centre por el observador Ethan Moon. La aparición atrajo a numerosos aficionados al parque.
