Vancouver rundown for Wednesday,
February 26th, 2025.
Two pedestrians have been rushed
to hospital with very serious injuries
after being hit by a truck on
Lowe Heat Highway in Burnaby.
A section of the road was closed for
several hours near North Road late Tuesday night.
Speed and alcohol have not been
ruled out as contributing factors.
Other news.
One person has been found dead
after a house fire near Agassi.
Crews spent several hours putting out
and then investigating the fire to
home on Seabird Island late Sunday afternoon.
The cause is not known,
but it's not believed to be suspicious.
One month.
That's how long the Vancouver Park Board
staff have been given to determine how
to keep the Vancouver Aquatic
Center's 50 meter pool that comes
after staff recommended the design
to be half the size at a cost
of over $100 million.
Close to 70 people attended two nights
of hearings on how to proceed
with the center's new pool.
Some BC conservative MLAs are
accusing the NDP of laying a trap
by introducing a wedge motion in
reaction to planned US tariffs
on Canadian imports.
That motion calls for all MLAs to
condemn Donald Trump's threat and
back retaliatory measures if necessary.
Five conservatives voted against the move.
Cloudy for Wednesday morning,
but some sunshine by the afternoon.
A mix of sun and cloud for Thursday.
Sunshine for Friday for all the
