Vancouver rundown for Tuesday, May 20, 2025.
Canada Post will likely be hit by a strike on
Friday. The Crown Corporation says it received
notice from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers
that 55 ,000 members will be on strike exactly
when their current contract expires. On Friday,
a government -commissioned report said the post
office should phase out daily door -to -door
delivery. That recommendation has been blasted
by Cup W. This would be the second strike at
Canada Post in the last year. Other news. A woman
has died at a popular climbing area near Squamish.
On Friday afternoon, the 22 -year -old fell from
a slackline in the Chickamas Canyon area. Victim
Services was called in to help several people
who witnessed the fall. RCMP are looking for
a man believed responsible for a series of attacks
in Burnaby's Metrotown area. Police say they
know of at least three attacks on Saturday, including
one in which an employee was pushed and another
person was punched at the Bob Pretty Library.
None of the four victims has serious injuries.

above parts of Metro Vancouver. During Saturday
afternoon's brief thunderstorm, a storm watcher
witnessed a rotating cloud near Cloverdale, while
parts of Coquitlam, Maple Ridge and Langley also
experienced thunder and hail. A severe thunderstorm
warning was issued for several areas for a short
time early Saturday evening. Our current forecast,
