Vancouver rundown for Wednesday, July 23rd, 2025.
Those going to bars, nightclubs, and restaurants
in downtown Vancouver will soon be able to drink
until 4 a .m. City Council has unanimously voted
to extend the hours for establishments in the
downtown core that decide to opt in. This means
most bars will remain open after SkyTrain shuts
down and all but a few buses in service. Vancouver
Coastal Health is opposed to the move, noting
alcohol consumption is linked to many health
and safety risks. Other news, a 17 -year -old
suspect has now been arrested in the stabbing
death of a 15 -year -old near Vancouver's Robson
Square late Saturday night. Both the victim and
the suspect are from Surrey. There is no word
on whether they knew each other. Police say the
suspect turned himself in Monday night. The man
accused of killing 11 people in the Lapu -Lapu
Day attack has been charged with three additional
counts of second -degree murder. Kaiji Adam Lowe
is now charged with one count for each person
who died. Numerous other people were hurt when
the driver of an SUV hit a group of people leaving
the Filipino Street Festival in Vancouver back
on April 26. A small wildfire continues to burn
out of control east of Mission. As first reported
here on Vancouver Rundown, the fire near Norrish
Creek started after a lightning strike Monday
night. The Lacamo First Nation is closely monitoring
the fire. So far, no evacuation alerts are in
place. Mainly sunny for Wednesday. Windy at times.
Inland highs near 27 degrees. Sunny, but a tag
cooler for Thursday and Friday. For all the details
