🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. Elección parcial fijada para el 26 de septiembre mientras la líder conservadora de B.C., Kerry-Lynne Findlay, busca escaño en medio de la turbulencia del caucus. La elección parcial se convocó después de que la diputada Reann Gasper renunciara la semana pasada y luego se convirtiera en subjefa de gabinete de Findlay, y un audio no verificado difundido el jueves supuestamente contiene una voz similar a la de Findlay hablando de ofrecer cargos a diputados que den un paso al costado, algo que ella calificó como un “ataque político difamatorio”.
  2. La diputada del NDP de B.C. Joan Phillip murió a los 74 años. El informe señala a Joan Phillip como fallecida e la identifica como diputada del NDP de B.C., confirmando una vacante y provocando ajustes en el partido y en la legislatura tras su muerte.
  3. El gobierno federal igualará las donaciones a la Cruz Roja para la recuperación del incendio forestal en Summerland. El compromiso federal iguala las donaciones públicas destinadas a la recuperación del incendio en Summerland, dirigiendo los fondos equiparados a la Cruz Roja Canadiense para apoyar a los hogares afectados y los esfuerzos de recuperación.

🌦️ Clima y carreteras

  1. Un problema en el eje de la hélice obliga a cancelar viajes en la ruta de ferris de Sunshine Coast. BC Ferries canceló salidas tras un problema en el eje de la hélice en la ruta de Sunshine Coast, afectando los viajes programados y dejando a viajeros varados hasta que se completen las reparaciones.
  2. La sequía severa impulsa una nueva orden en el interior de B.C. que limita el riego. Las autoridades provinciales emitieron la restricción para partes del interior de B.C. en respuesta a condiciones de sequía severa, estableciendo límites exigibles al uso de agua para riego para conservar los suministros.
