Vancouver, and down for Monday, June 24, 2024. The family of a woman who died after being
found injured in a home in Surrey last week says it's learned more details from the media
than homicide investigators. That lack of confirmed information continues even after
friends and family gathered over the weekend for a vigil for Tory Dunn at Surrey Band Regional
Park. Dunn died after being found with life-threatening injuries at a home in Port Calz on June
16. Police are still not confirming that she died in a home invasion. A man was arrested
near the home a short time after the attack. Other news, some of the injured students from
a horrible bus crash in the caribou are now out to the hospital. School officials say
there were plenty of broken bones but no life-threatening injuries in the crash itself. On Friday,
more than 30 students and several adults were injured when a bus went down an embankment
near Blacklahash. It was returning with grade 6 and 7 students from a field trip near Williams
Lake. A pedestrian died near the crash site. Never mind the cool weather, swimmers need
to avoid taking a dip off West Vancouver's Ambleside Park due to high levels of E. Coli.
The bacteria attributed to people and bird shit has prompted a warning for swimmers.
Local sources include boats, sewer runoff, and leaky septic tanks. Photos are now emerging
showing a close encounter between some kayakers and a humpback whale off Bowen Island. The
images shared on social media show a whale dangerously close to the boaters and only
a few meters from the shore itself back on June 15. Humpbacks are now returning to the
area after feeding in the South Pacific. A mix of sun and clouds and possible showers for Monday,
Tuesday will be mostly cloudy Wednesday it's back to showers. For all the details on these local
