🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. Los equipos contra incendios de la Columbia Británica advierten que el incendio Pear Lake podría crecer; estimado en 66,000 hectáreas. Jean Strong, del BC Wildfire Service, dijo que las órdenes y alertas de evacuación se están ampliando alrededor de Clinton y 70 Mile House; brigadas adicionales de Yukon y Alberta han llegado y personal mexicano tiene programada su llegada el 3 de agosto.
  2. Más de 70 excursionistas evacuados del West Coast Trail de la Isla de Vancouver tras intensas lluvias de julio; la ruta mide 75 km. Parks Canada calificó tramos como “intransitables”, su equipo de seguridad para visitantes está respondiendo a numerosas solicitudes de evacuación, y las reservas hasta el 1 de agosto son elegibles para reembolso completo.

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. La RCMP (Real Policía Montada de Canadá) incautó explosivos, decenas de armas de fuego y grandes cantidades de drogas cuando un laboratorio en Columbia Británica estaba a punto de iniciar operaciones. La Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit informó que registros en Abbotsford, Surrey y Enderby en mayo hallaron dos kilos de fentanilo y dos de metanfetamina, 64 litros de GHB y 65 cubos explosivos comerciales.
  2. Ladrones de metal cortaron cables de cobre en seis cargadores rápidos de BC Hydro en Port Moody la madrugada del martes. La policía de Port Moody dijo que sensores alertaron al personal; BC Hydro reportó 44 robos de cables de cargadores rápidos en 22 sitios desde octubre, con un costo aproximado de 1 millón de dólares canadienses en reparaciones, y la empresa está instalando cámaras.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. La ciudad de Vancouver nombra a un grupo liderado por el desarrollador Zack Ross como socio preferente para la posible expansión de la MLB. El concejo instruyó al personal a firmar un memorando de entendimiento con The Show Vancouver para realizar la diligencia debida sobre posibles sitios para el estadio; TSV asumirá todos los costos de preparación de la oferta y los riesgos financieros.
  2. TransLink dice que el dispositivo de movilidad de un usuario de HandyDART excede las especificaciones actuales de aseguramiento en los vehículos. Tom Cretain, que perdió 28 años de servicio de HandyDART, fue contactado por la directora ejecutiva de TransLink; la entidad arregló una reunión con un experto en movilidad esta semana y está considerando cambios a largo plazo en vehículos o equipamiento.

💼 Economy & Business

  1. Interfor trasladará su sede de Burnaby a las afueras de Atlanta, Georgia, según un memo de la empresa. El memo del director ejecutivo Ian Fillinger (visto por el Financial Post) sigue una tendencia de largo plazo de mover activos a EE. UU.; críticos dicen que la mudanza refleja las dificultades del sector forestal en la Columbia Británica ante aranceles y contracciones de la industria.
  2. Uniper y Ksi Lisims firman un contrato de 20 años para la compra de GNL por dos millones de toneladas por año, con entregas desde 2032. El acuerdo en Düsseldorf compromete aproximadamente 30 TWh por año en términos FOB y es el primer gran contrato a largo plazo de suministro de GNL entre Canadá y Alemania.
