Vancouver rundown for Thursday, March 20, 2025.
A Canada -wide search is underway for a Surrey
man after a murder in the Northwest Territories.
22 -year -old Christian Cogswell is charged with
one count of murder, one count of attempted murder,
and a count of aggravated assault after a man
was found shot dead in a home in Fort Providence
over the weekend. Two others were wounded. Police
believe Cogswell is armed and dangerous and is
likely headed south. The killings are believed
to be linked to the drug trade. Other news, a
five -year -old boy has been found safe after
wandering away from a day camp in Mission. Search
and Rescue, along with the RCMP, police dogs
and staff, spent much of Tuesday looking for
the boy after he went missing near Hayward Lake.
He was spotted by those in an RCMP helicopter
a kilometer away. The boy is uninjured. Construction
has finally started on a major drug rehab center
in Vancouver. The withdrawal management center
is being built on a lot near First Avenue and
Clark Drive. The facility, approved by the city
five years ago, is a replacement for the aging
Vancouver Detox Center on East 2nd. The city
of North Vancouver has approved more than $4
million. For fixing the damage from last October's
atmospheric river, heavy rain caused both sewer
damage and creek erosion. Most of that money
will go toward bank stabilization next to Thane
Creek. Showers and gusty wind in the forecast
for Thursday. Heavy rain on Friday. Periods of
rain for Saturday. For all the details on these
