00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.859
Vancouver rundown for Monday, May 5th, 2025.

00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:07.839
Police tactical members have arrested a man who

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:10.640
barricaded himself inside a public transit bus

00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.539
on Annis' Island Sunday morning. Delta police

00:00:14.539 --> 00:00:17.399
say he was armed with a knife. The driver and

00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.059
several passengers were evacuated. No one was

00:00:20.059 --> 00:00:23.359
hurt. The incident closed several roads in the

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.460
area for a few hours. Other news. A commercial

00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:29.800
building in Surrey's Newton neighborhood has

00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:32.740
been badly damaged in a Sunday morning fire.

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.659
Crews managed to keep the fire from spreading

00:00:35.659 --> 00:00:39.179
to neighboring buildings near 71A Avenue and

00:00:39.179 --> 00:00:42.460
134th Street. No one was hurt. There's no word

00:00:42.460 --> 00:00:46.179
on a cause. RCMP now think a fire that destroyed

00:00:46.179 --> 00:00:49.219
a derelict B .C. ferry in Mission early Saturday

00:00:49.219 --> 00:00:53.340
morning was deliberately set. The city of Mission

00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:57.189
activated its Emergency Operations Center. After

00:00:57.189 --> 00:00:59.469
the Queen of Sydney went up in flames at around

00:00:59.469 --> 00:01:03.570
2 a .m., there were initial concerns over possible

00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:07.489
toxins in the air. The ferry was retired in 2000

00:01:07.489 --> 00:01:11.849
after nearly 40 years of service. A couple of

00:01:11.849 --> 00:01:14.870
Vancouver councillors hope the city will reinstate

00:01:14.870 --> 00:01:18.370
funding for school meal programs. Councillors

00:01:18.370 --> 00:01:21.739
Pete Fry and Rebecca Bly... Hope Vancouver will

00:01:21.739 --> 00:01:24.260
restore the funding, noting that provincial and

00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:27.060
federal governments have not stepped up to replace

00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:30.620
school meal programs. Council will vote on the

00:01:30.620 --> 00:01:35.340
idea May 7th. Sunny, but a bit windy. Near noon

00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:38.859
on Monday. Sunny with inland highs near 25 degrees

00:01:38.859 --> 00:01:42.099
on Tuesday. And then a mix of sun and clouds

00:01:42.099 --> 00:01:45.750
with possible showers for Wednesday. For all

00:01:45.750 --> 00:01:48.769
