24 artikulo 2 oras ang nakalipas 5

🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. Nag-isyu ang B.C. conservation officers ng 19 na multa na nagkakahalaga ng 21,850 dolyar ng Canada para sa ilegal na mga kamping-pugon nitong katapusan ng linggo. Iniulat ng mga opisyal ang 19 na violation ticket at binanggit ang Cariboo, bahagi ng Coastal, Kamloops at Southeast Fire Centres bilang mga lugar na may umiiral na pagbabawal sa campfire; sinabi ng BC Wildfire Service na may 136 aktibong wildfire na naglalagablab sa B.C.

  2. Ipinapadala ang mga fire crew mula Yukon at Alberta patungong B.C. upang tumulong sa paglaban sa mga wildfire ngayong linggo. Ayon sa ulat, pupunan ng mutual-aid crews ang mga provincial resources habang nagpapatuloy ang ilang malalaking pagliyab sa B.C.; ang paggalaw ay sinundan ng mga kamakailang malalaking sunog tulad ng Pear Lake at mga insidente sa paligid ng Clinton.

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. Ayon sa Vancouver police, 35 kaso ng distraction theft ang naireport na ngayong taon. Naitala ng Vancouver Police Department ang 35 insidente hanggang Hulyo 16, na may 17 na nangyari sa anim na nakalistang neighborhood at siyam sa Strathcona at Grandview-Woodlands; naglabas ang mga imbestigador ng kuwento ng isang biktima—isang 72 anyos—na tinarget noong Hunyo 12.

  2. Nagbabala ang mga opisyal sa Richmond na may dalawang lumalaking homeless encampment sa itaas ng bagong jet fuel pipeline at may higit sa 30 na nagkakamping. Sinabi ng Richmond councillor Kash Heed sa Global News na nakumpiska ng lungsod ang dose-dosenang armas sa nakaraang taon at tinatayang maaaring lumampas sa 200,000 dolyar ng Canada ang gastos sa paglilinis; ang mga site ay nasa Crown land na nasa ilalim ng responsibilidad ng probinsya.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Iniutos ng B.C. Transportation Minister na humanap ng paraan para maipasahe ang isang matagal nang pasahero ng HandyDART na tinanggihan ng serbisyo. Si Tom Cretain, na gumagamit ng HandyDART sa loob ng 28 taon, ay na-deny ng mga ride dahil sa laki ng kanyang mobility device; sinabi ng TransLink ang mga limitasyon ng manufacturer na 48 by 37 inches at 800-pound combined weight limit bilang dahilan kung bakit hindi nila ligtas na matutulungan siya.

  2. Bumoto ang Metro Vancouver na bawasan ang bilang ng mga board member sa regional authority. Inaprubahan ng regional council ang panukalang pagbabawas ng board sa isang kamakailang boto, binabago ang istruktura ng pamamahala ng Metro Vancouver; ang desisyon ay sumunod sa mga diskusyon ng probinsya at mga munisipalidad tungkol sa laki at representasyon ng board.

💼 Economy & Business

  1. Magdaragdag ang B.C. ng 462 na mga upuan para sa pagsasanay sa skilled trades sa Kwantlen Polytechnic upang mag-supply ng mga manggagawa para sa malalaking proyekto. Inanunsyo ni Premier David Eby ang 462 bagong upuan at inilaan ng probinsya ang 241 milyong dolyar ng Canada sa loob ng tatlong taon para sa in-demand na trades training; tinataya ng Labour Market Outlook na higit sa 72,000 openings sa skilled trades ang lalabas sa susunod na dekada.

  2. Ipo-promote ng Nuytco Research ng North Vancouver ang DSEND atmospheric dive suit sa Pentagon ngayong linggo. Sinabi ng company president na si Jeff Heaton na 90% ng kasalukuyang trabaho nila ay sumusuporta sa military submarine rescue at binigyang-diin ang mobility features ng DSEND suit; may higit sa 40 taon ng design history ang kumpanya mula pa noong dekada 1980.
