28 artikulo 1 oras ang nakalipas 8

🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. Mabilis kumalat na wildfire pinilit ang buong paglikas sa paligid ng Boston Bar matapos magsimula nitong Martes ng hapon. Naglabas ang Fraser Valley Regional District ng utos na lumikas para sa Boston Bar (British Columbia), Boston Bar First Nation (British Columbia), North Bend at Canyon Alpine habang ang sunog — tinatayang nasa 300 hektarya — ay nagsimula sa kabila ng Fraser River at nasa ilang daang metro lamang mula sa katimugang gilid ng Brunswick Creek fire; sarado ang Highway 1 (sa pagitan ng Anderson River Mainline at Jackass Summit).
  2. Binalaan ang Kimberley na maghanda sa paglikas habang lumalawak ang kalapit na wildfire hanggang humigit-kumulang anim na kilometro kwadrado. Ayon sa BC Wildfire Service (ahensiya ng panlaban-sunog ng British Columbia), ang apoy ay nasa humigit-kumulang 10 kilometro kanluran ng Kimberley (British Columbia); ang lungsod ay may mahigit 8,000 residente, gagamitin ng mga crew ang mabibigat na makinarya para gumawa ng containment lines at natuklasan ang sunog noong Sabado sa gitna ng pag-init at pagkatuyo ng panahon.

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. Isinara ang Westview Mall sa North Vancouver matapos magpaputok; isang tao arestado. Kinumpirma ng North Vancouver RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) na sarado ang shopping centre at parking lot nitong Martes ng hapon, sinabi nilang may isang tao na nasa kustodiya at walang panganib sa publiko habang iniimbestigahan ng mga pulis; pinakiusapan ang mga tao na iwasan ang lugar.
  2. Lalaki kinasuhan ng second-degree murder sa pagkamatay ng 64-anyos na babaeng taga-Nanaimo. Ayon sa Nanaimo RCMP, iniulat na nawawala si Sherry Shelley, 64, noong Nob. 14 at natagpuan na patay matapos ang sunog sa sasakyan sa College Drive; kinasuhan si Cameron Compton ng second-degree murder at indignity to human remains at nananatili sa kustodiya.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Sinabi ni Premier David Eby na 'wala talagang tsansa' na bumalik ang U.S. alcohol sa mga estante ng B.C. sa gitna ng mga taripa. Sa pagtitipon ng mga premier sa Prince Edward Island, itinanggi ni Eby ang muling pagpapapasok ng mga inuming galing sa U.S. matapos ang bagong taripa mula doon, sinabi niyang dine-diversify ng B.C. ang kalakalan patungong Asia kasama ang India at China at binanggit na kokontakin ng mga kawani ng lalawigan ang U.S. ambassador tungkol sa mga pagbanggit sa website na USA 250.
  2. Pinalihis na mabilis na federal referral para sa Roberts Bank Terminal 2 nagbubunsod ng mga tanong sa lokal na seguridad. Nagbabala si Delta Mayor George Harvie nitong linggo na ang iminungkahing three-berth Roberts Bank expansion — na sinasabing magdaragdag ng 50 porsiyentong kapasidad ng container at magpapahintulot ng hanggang $100 billion sa bagong taunang kapasidad ng kalakalan — ay kulang pa rin sa portwide security upgrades na maihahambing sa ilang pantalan sa Europa.
  3. Nanatili ang SOGI 123 sa mga paaralan ng B.C. sa kabila ng pagbabago sa pondo ng lalawigan, ayon sa Education Minister. Kinukumpirma ng ARC Foundation na nakaltasan ang kanilang pondo sa huling budget ng lalawigan ngunit nagpapatuloy ang programang SOGI; nagbabala ang ARC na maaaring maapektuhan ang pagsasanay at support services at muling inulit ni Education Minister Lisa Beare na may karapatan ang bawat bata na makaramdam ng kaligtasan at pagiging kabilang.
  4. Ulat humihiling ng malinaw na proteksyon laban sa init para sa mga outdoor workers sa B.C. matapos ang pagtaas ng heat claims noong 2021. Napuna ng BC Policy Solutions (mga mananaliksik sa polisiya sa B.C.) na hindi malaki ang na-update sa mga patakaran sa exposure sa init mula pa noong 2005; nirerekomenda nila ang temperature triggers, sapilitang heat-illness training at bayad na pahinga matapos iulat ng mga crew tulad ng mga miyembro ng Pinnacle Roofing (mga manggagawa sa bubong) ang pagkahilo at mga araw na hindi nakapasok dahil sa init nitong tag-init.
