Luugat SRO tuluyang nilisan; kahina-hinalang pagkamatay sa Delta at wildfire sa Ezra Creek — Vancouver Miyerkules

20 artikulo 3 araw ang nakalipas 106

🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. Sinukat sa 116 hektarya ang wildfire sa Ezra Creek basta 8:30 n.g. Miyerkules. Natuklasan ang sunog sa hilaga ng Castlegar noong Martes at pansamantalang na-overestimate sa 250 hektarya bago ito itama; gumamit ang BC Wildfire Service ng mga helicopter at airtanker habang nagpadala rin ng mga rappel crew noong Miyerkules, at tumaas ang pag-uugali ng apoy hanggang antas tatlo. Ayon sa mga opisyal, pinaniniwalaang kidlat ang nagpasiklab.

  2. Dumarami ang tanong sa diskarte ng B.C. sa prescribed burns matapos ang pagkawasak sa paligid ng Summerland. Ang planadong prescribed burn malapit sa Faulder ay bahagi ng isang 87-hektaryang plano para bawasan ang panganib, ngunit hindi kinukumpirma ng BC Wildfire Service kung ito ay isinagawa; kalaunan ay winasak ng Bald Range wildfire ang karatig-lugar. Nanawagan ang mga eksperto ng fuel-reduction sa sukat na "mga libong hektarya" at sinabi nilang nagpapabagal sa aksyon ang pag-apruba at kakayahan ng mga ahensya.

  3. Natagpuang bangkay ng babae sa sinunog na bukid sa River Road sa Delta; itinuturing ng pulisya na kahina-hinala ang pagkamatay. Natuklasan ng mga opisyal ang sunog at isang bangkay ng babae sa 6400 block ng River Road madaling araw ng Miyerkules; kasalukuyang tinutukoy ng mga imbestigador ang pagkakakilanlan at sanhi. Hinihiling ng Delta Police na tumawag ang sinumang nagbiyahe sa 6400 block nang madaling araw o may dashcam footage sa 604-946-4444.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Lilipat na ang lahat ng natitirang nangungupahan ng Luugat SRO sa Granville, nagwakas ang tenancy ng site. Kinumpirma ng Ministry of Housing na nailipat ang huling residente noong nakaraang linggo at inilipat na ang mga gamit; binili ng probinsiya ang Howard Johnson property sa halagang 55 milyong dolyar na Kanadá noong 2020 at siningil ang mga nagbabayad ng buwis ng 101,000 dolyar na Kanadá para panatilihing bukas ang gusali noong Hulyo. Pormal na humiling ng paliwanag si Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim tungkol sa kabuuang gastos at iskedyul.

  2. Umalis si Teresa Wat sa BC Conservatives para maging Independent, ika-apat na pag-alis kamakailan. Sinabi ni Wat, MLA para sa Richmond–Bridgeport, sa social media na umalis siya matapos ang di-umano'y pahayag ng party leader na si Kerry-Lynn Findlay sa leadership campaign na nagduda sa kanyang katapatan sa Canada; ayon kay Wat, hindi siya nakatanggap ng paghingi ng tawad at ngayon ay uupo bilang Independent.

  3. Magkakatayo ng mga bagong hatchery na magpapakawala nang hanggang 1 milyong karagdagang salmon taun-taon sa Fraser at Skeena Rivers. Layunin ng mga panlalawigang plano na dagdagan ang produksyon ng hatchery na maaaring magpakawala ng hanggang 1,000,000 juvenile salmon bawat taon sa dalawang river system.
