Pear Lake fire, West Coast Trail na paglikas at paglilipat ng Interfor HQ — Vancouver Miyerkules

23 artikulo 2 oras ang nakalipas 4

🚑 Napapanahon at mga Insidente

  1. Nagbabala ang BC Wildfire Service na posibleng lumaki pa ang Pear Lake fire; tinatayang 66,000 hektarya. Sinabi ni Jean Strong ng BC Wildfire Service (ahensiya ng pamamahala sa sunog ng British Columbia) na lumalawak ang mga utos at alerto ng pag-evacuate sa paligid ng Clinton (Clinton, British Columbia) at 70 Mile House (70 Mile House, British Columbia). Dumating na ang dagdag na mga tauhan mula Yukon at Alberta, at naka-iskedyul namang dumating ang personnel mula Mexico noong Ago. 3.
  2. Mahigit 70 turista na nagha-hike inilikas mula sa 75-km West Coast Trail sa Vancouver Island matapos ang malakas na pag-ulan ngayong Hulyo. Tinawag ng Parks Canada (Pederal na ahensiya ng parke) na “impassable” ang ilang bahagi; tumutugon ang kanilang visitor safety team sa maraming kahilingan na i-evacuate, at ang mga reservation hanggang Ago. 1 ay kwalipikadong kunin ang buong refund.

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Nakuha ng RCMP ang mga eksplosibo, ilang dosenang baril at malaking dami ng droga habang papalabas na ang isang drug lab sa B.C. Ayon sa Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (pangunahin na yunit laban sa organisadong krimen), natuklasan sa mga paghahanap noong Mayo sa Abbotsford (Abbotsford, British Columbia), Surrey (Surrey, British Columbia) at Enderby (Enderby, British Columbia) ang tig-2 kilo ng fentanyl at meth, 64 litro ng GHB, at 65 commercial explosive cubes.
  2. Pinuputol ng mga magnanakaw ng metal ang copper cables sa anim na BC Hydro fast chargers sa Port Moody nang madaling araw ng Martes. Sinabi ng Port Moody police (pulisiya ng Port Moody) na nag-alerto ang mga sensor sa staff; iniulat ng BC Hydro (utility ng kuryente) ang 44 na pagnanakaw ng fast-charger cable sa 22 site mula Oktubre na nagkakahalaga ng mga ~1,000,000 sa pag-aayos, at maglalagay na ng mga kamera ang utility.

🏛️ Gobyerno at Pulitika

  1. Pinangalanan ng City of Vancouver ang grupong pinamumunuan ng developer na si Zack Ross bilang preferred MLB expansion partner. Inutusan ng Council ang staff na pumasok sa isang memorandum of understanding kasama ang The Show Vancouver upang isagawa ang due diligence sa mga posibleng site ng ballpark; sagot ng TSV ang lahat ng gastos sa paghahanda ng bid at mga pinansyal na panganib.
  2. Sinasabi ng TransLink na ang mobility device ng isang HandyDART user ay lampas sa kasalukuyang vehicle securement specifications. Nakipag-ugnayan na ang CEO ng TransLink (transportasyon publiko ng rehiyon) kay Tom Cretain, na nawala ang 28 taong HandyDART service; inayos ng TransLink ang isang meeting kasama ang isang mobility expert ngayong linggo at pinag-aaralan ang mas pangmatagalang pagbabago sa sasakyan o kagamitan.

💼 Ekonomiya at Negosyo

  1. Ililipat ng Interfor ang punong-tanggapan mula Burnaby papunta sa outskirts ng Atlanta, Georgia, ayon sa memo ng kumpanya. Ayon sa memo ni CEO Ian Fillinger (nakita ng Financial Post), sumusunod ito sa pangmatagalang paglilipat ng mga asset sa U.S., at sinasabi ng mga kritiko na ipinapakita ng hakbang ang paghihirap ng sektor ng kagubatan sa B.C. dahil sa mga taripa at paghina ng industriya.
  2. Lumagda ang Uniper at Ksi Lisims sa 20-taong LNG off-take para sa dalawang mtpa, may deliveries mula 2032. Ang kasunduan sa Düsseldorf ay nagtatakda ng humigit-kumulang 30 TWh kada taon sa FOB basis at ito ang unang malaking pangmatagalang kontrata ng LNG supply sa pagitan ng Canada at Germany.
