🏛️ Pamahalaan at Pulitika

  1. Binibintang ang konstruksyon sa Broadway sa pagkalugi ng ilang maliliit na negosyo; federal minister magsusuri ng mga suporta. Isinara kamakailan ang ilang negosyo sa Vancouver, kabilang ang Fable Diner at SportChek, sa kahabaan ng Broadway malapit sa Main Street kasunod ng konstruksyon ng Broadway Subway Line. Sinabi ni federal housing minister Gregor Robertson — dating MLA ng Vancouver Fairview — na babalangkasin niya ang mga epekto kay MP Taleeb Noormohamed at susuriin ang mga posibleng tulong. Ipinanatili ng pamahalaang B.C. ang patakarang walang kompensasyon kahit humihiling ang lokal na mga BIA ng pautang o tax break.

  2. Tinapos ng B.C. ang state of emergency dahil sa wildfire at aalisin ang pagbabawal sa off-road vehicles. Inanunsyo ng lalawigan ang pagtatapos ng state of emergency na may kaugnayan sa wildfire at kinumpirma na aalisin na rin ang pagbabawal sa off-road vehicles, na opisyal na pagbabago matapos ang tag-init ng mga sunog. Inaalis ng desisyon ang mga pambansang paghihigpit na nakaapekto sa maraming rehiyon sa mga nagdaang malalaking insidente ng apoy.

  3. Hinihikayat ng Ladysmith ang aksiyon ng lalawigan matapos mga sunog na dulot ng tao banta sa mga watershed ng inuming tubig ng 12,000 tao. Ayon sa konseho ng bayan, ang Stocking Lake at Holland Lake watersheds ang nagbibigay ng inuming tubig sa humigit-kumulang 12,000 residente ng Ladysmith, Stz’uminus First Nation, Diamond Improvement District at Saltair. Humiling ang bayan ng mas mahigpit na kontrol sa access, mas malakas na pagpapatupad at pabilisin ang mga legal na hakbang matapos ang mga sunog sa kahabaan ng Banon Creek FSR noong 18 Agosto. Sinabi ng bayan na wala pa silang natatanggap na tugon mula sa lalawigan mula nang ipadala ang liham noong 26 Hunyo.

  4. Walang aktibong kaso ng tigdas sa B.C., ngunit nagbabala ang mga opisyal ng kalusugan tungkol sa bagong strain bago bumukas ang paaralan. Iniulat ng provincial health officials na zero ang aktibong kaso ng tigdas sa B.C. habang nag-iisyu ng babala tungkol sa umuusbong na strain bago magsimula ang bagong taon ng paaralan, at nananawagan ng pagiging maingat sa panahon ng pagbabalik-eskwela. Dumating ang advisory habang naghahanda ang mga paaralan sa lalawigan na magbukas para sa fall term.

💼 Ekonomiya at Negosyo

  1. Nakuha ng pamilyang Heppell sa Surrey ang isang taong extension ng lease sa 220-acre na bukid na bumubuo ng humigit-kumulang 50 milyong servings ng patatas taun-taon. Mananatiling naka-lease sa pamilyang Heppell ang federal-owned 220-acre na bukid malapit sa 192nd Street at 36th Avenue para sa isa pang taon; tinatayang nagbibigay ang lupain ng mga 50 milyong servings ng patatas at iba pang pananim bawat taon. Nanganganib ang lease sa gitna ng mga usapin tungkol sa pabahay, warehouses at tatlong First Nations’ land claims, at nakalikom ang petisyon ng mga Heppell ng mahigit 90,000 pirma.

  2. Isasara ang Twisted Whiskers café at thrift store sa Summerland sa Disyembre matapos ang tag-init na binaha ng wildfire. Sinabi ng may-ari na si Jules Zest na dalawang mahihirap na taon at ang naantalang summer tourism dahil sa Bald Range wildfire ang nagbunsod ng desisyon na tuluyang isara ang negosyo sa Disyembre; iginiit ni Zest na kritikal ang bentahan tuwing tag-init para sa pang-taunang kakayahang magpatakbo at maraming customer noon ang nagmumula pa sa labas ng Summerland.

🌦️ Panahon at Mga Daan
