The orders cover the village of around 650 people, along with about 280 properties to the southwest and north of the community. 
Will keeping a pedestrian zone along Granville Street post-World Cup help revitalize the struggling downtown strip? 
The answer depends on who you ask, with some local businesses more skeptical than others. 
The concept of speed puzzling is simple: get a puzzle  often 500 pieces  and see how fast you can put it together. 
Times vary widely depending on the puzzle's image, but the world's best speed puzzlers can typically finish a 500-piece puzzle in under an hour. 
The province says it has opened a temporary office in Port Alberni, B.C., to continue providing some essential services after a fire destroyed the community's Service B.C. building earlier this week. 
The union representing 55,000 nurses in B.C. says weeks of job action will end late Friday after its bargaining association accepted recommendations from provincially-appointed mediators. 
RCMP say they've arrested a suspect in a homicide investigation that closed a busy portion of Creston, B.C., this week. 
The IIO said the officer was speeding to the scene of a domestic violence call on what witnesses described as a dark, rainy night when the crash happened. 
A San Juan Island EMS member says bystanders were “heroes” Thursday night when a seaplane crashed and later caught fire while making an emergency landing on the shoreline of Sucia Island near the B.C.-Washington border. 
A U.S. senator is speaking out against statements made by American leaders, including President Donald Trump, alleging Canada is doing a poor job of managing wildfires. 
Her remarks come as a wildfire from the United States has spread into British Columbia. 
Two of the three out-of-control wildfires threatening Boston Bar, B.C., and surrounding communities have merged. 
Alberta's proposal for a new pipeline through southern B.C. has been billed as a duplication of the 2024 Trans Mountain expansion, but a deviation to another terminal in the Fraser Valley is unearthing familiar challenges including seismic and environmental concerns and possible objections by First Nations. 
A hit man who is already serving a life sentence for the 2022 murder of a former suspect in the Air India terrorist attack has been sentenced to another 15 years for an unrelated killing that took place less than four months earlier. 
Five homes and one vehicle were hit by the gunfire, while a pedestrian was later found with a gunshot wound and taken to hospital before being arrested and charged, police said. 
Orcas in the Gulf of California have been filmed teaming up to smash dead sunfish to pieces. 
In a new study, researchers speculate why they might be doing this. 
The property that was home to CrossRoads Brewing and Distillery in downtown Prince George is officially up for sale, nearly a year after an arson fire destroyed the landmark business. 
George Harvie, mayor of Delta, B.C., has been sounding the alarm over security and crime at the province's port facilities for years, and he has plenty of questions as the federal government pushes a massive port expansion project in his city. 
Despite Health Canada's warnings against the use of unauthorized peptides as a health and fitness shortcut, a CBC News investigation uncovered doctors using a regulatory loophole to prescribe one of the unproven products to patients. 
A new research paper suggests Toronto needs to revamp its approach to coyote control in a way that's raising the hackles of some animal lovers and advocates. 
The study's lead author says coyotes that become a persistent nuisance should be euthanized and suggests the city waits too long before exercising that option. 
A regional official says the damage ranges from melted siding to all structures on properties being burned down. 
Photos of giant, cauliflower-like clouds are popping up on Vancouver-area social media feeds that experts say are pyrocumulus clouds produced by a wildfire more than 200 kilometres away.
