order is in place after a landslide in a remote area along the Chillcultin River west of Williams

00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:19,440
Lake. The Silcott has issued an updated Stage 2 emergency due to a danger of unpredictable

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:25,120
water flows in at least one area. The few people living along the river are being told to leave,

5
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,800
most of the evacuees are being told to head toward Highway 20 and then east to Williams Lake.

00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,320
Other news, Mayor Ken Sim says everyone who lives, works or visits Vancouver

7
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,080
deserves to feel safe and secure. That's the bottom line from a statement issued after a man

8
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:49,360
was charged and one of three random stabbing attacks that occurred back on July 22nd in or near

00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:55,680
the Granville Entertainment District. 29-year-old Geronimo Fuentes is now charged with aggravated

10
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,520
assault after a man was stabbed in the back on Nelson Street near Hornby. Sim says the charged

11
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:09,120
man is from Surrey and was on probation. Some west Vancouver residents are pissed off that the city

12
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:15,520
has sold public beach access to a private buyer. The move was made to get a private buyer for a lot

13
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:23,440
off Park Lane, also interested in buying a municipal lot next door. One resident told CBC,

14
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:28,640
the message is west Vancouver is for sale, if you have the money then come talk to us.

15
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:35,040
Don't jump off a cliff, at least not in Ling Canyon. That is the message from the district

16
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:41,680
of north Vancouver fire and rescue. As the weather starts to heat up again, the water below the cliffs

17
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,240
has very strong currents and below surface are some hazards. Many swimmers have been hurt or

18
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,960
even died from jumping into Ling Creek in past summers. Mostly sunny on Thursday with inland

19
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:01,680
highs of 30 degrees, sunny and warm for Friday and right through the long weekend. For all the
