Vancouver rundown for Wednesday, September 18, 2024.
Metro Vancouver mayors are once again going camp in hand
to ask for more taxpayer money for TransLink.
The Mayor's Council is asking all political parties
to outline their funding plans for the transit body
as fears continue over potential service cuts.
Part of that plea is asking people to send letters
to their political leaders, asking for details.
Right now, TransLink is funded by taxpayers
through income tax, property tax,
Metro Vancouver parking levies, BC Hydril surcharges,
and of course, bus fares.
Other news, is it time for another new
Provincial Liberal Party?
Former Federal Liberal Cabinet Minister Herb Dollywall
thinks so.
He's once again attempting to register the name
New Liberal Party of BC with Elections BC.
Dollywall says his first such attempt was rejected
because of technical reasons.
A man is recovering from serious injuries
after being stabbed in downtown Langley Tuesday morning.
It happened shortly after 8 a.m. near Douglas and 203 Street,
not far from the RCMP Detachment.
No suspects have been identified.
Vancouver Connux Forward Dakota Joshua has confirmed
he is being treated for testicular cancer.
Joshua says he found a lump on one of his testy
over the summer.
He's continuing to heal, but will not be
in Connux training camp this week.
A mix of sun and clouds and possible showers for Wednesday,
showers on Thursday and Friday.
