00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,160
Vancouver rundown for Thursday October 24 2024. ICBC is now dealing with 266

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:14,640
claims relating to damage from the weekend rainstorms. In some cases cars

3
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,720
floated away due to flooding. Many of the vehicles suffered repairable electrical

4
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:25,000
damage. Others are complete write-offs. ICBC has warned all drivers with

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,120
partially submerged vehicles to not start the ignition until all the water is

6
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,640
gone. Other news RCMP have shot a man dead in

7
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,880
Penticton. The force says it happened after many 9-1-1 calls were made about a

8
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,240
man waving a knife and acting erratically on a city street. A so-called

9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,180
interaction occurred between the officer and the man before shots were fired. The

10
00:00:49,180 --> 00:00:55,660
IIO is looking into the circumstances as per protocol. Vancouver is going to pull

11
00:00:55,660 --> 00:01:00,120
the plug on the city's only sanctioned homeless encampment. The Vancouver Park

12
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,840
Board is set November 7th as the date when Crab Park has to be cleared of tents.

13
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:10,000
Those with the city say there is no reason for the people to remain as they

14
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,480
have all been offered reasonable housing alternatives. It appears Vancouver has

15
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:21,240
its own Taylor Swift gray market microeconomy. Daily Hive reports there's

16
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,320
a surge in people going on social media to offer short-term rentals for Swift's

17
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,200
December concert dates in the city. Some posted prices are as high as $700 a

18
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:38,640
night. The city of Vancouver can issue fines for up to $5,000 for those would

19
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,280
be hosts. A mix of sun and clouds and possible showers on Thursday. Sunshine

20
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:50,160
and cloudy periods for Friday and rain for both days of the weekend. For all the
