Vancouver ran down for Friday, May 24, 2024.
The provincial government has won its battle with Mayor Brenda Locke in the city of Surrey
over the cop swap that never stops.
The BC Supreme Court has nixed the petition aimed at ending Public Safety Minister Mike
Farners' endorsement of transitioning from the RCMP to the Surrey Police Service.
Locke has not said whether an appeal may be in the works but does say she accepts this
ruling.
Other news, Mayor Brenda Locke says there are far too many dangerous offenders blocking
to Surrey.
The Mounties have issued notices about three of them in the past few weeks.
The provincial government does say it is reviewing how BC Corrections notifies a public
about releases and moves to certain communities.
This after Locke and the Surrey Board of Trade raised concerns.
One of the largest and oldest parades in BC is set for Saturday.
The 53rd annual Hayek International Parade and Festival is expected to attract thousands
to the streets of New Westminster under a mostly cloudy sky.
The parade starts at 11 o'clock and there will be road closures and delays through
much of the downtown New Westminster core.
Cyber attackers appeared to have made good on their threat to release London drugs private
information.
The retailer has confirmed that employee data has now been linked to the dark web.

Well, don't expect too much in the way of good weather for the weekend as Friday's
sunny patches fade away.
Saturday mostly cloudy and a chance of showers.
Sunday will be rainy.
