The Conservatives have narrowed the gap as the

The French leaders' debate is Wednesday, while
the English debate is on Thursday. The campaign
has now passed the halfway mark. Other news.
A suspect has been arrested in a deadly hit -and
-run in Surrey that claimed the life of a six
-year -old girl. Two other children were hurt
after being hit at the intersection of 164th
Street and 108th Avenue Sunday afternoon. The
driver of the pickup hit another vehicle. Before
being arrested nearby, that driver remains in
custody. A non -verbal six -year -old boy has
been found safe after a massive weekend search
in Surrey. He went missing while on a walk with
his dad near Northview Park on Saturday evening.
That prompted a search by dozens of volunteers,
police, and search and rescue members. The boy
was located Sunday morning. Retiring Vancouver
Police Chief Adam Palmer, was the highest paid
city employee last year, earning close to half
a million dollars. The Vancouver Sun reports
Palmer made $487 ,224. That's almost $100 ,000
more than the city manager and $180 ,000 more
than Fire Chief Karen Fry. A mix of sun and cloud
in the forecast for Monday, windy near the water,
sunshine for Tuesday and Wednesday. For all the
