00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.359
Vancouver rundown for Wednesday, August 20th,

00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:08.679
2025. The strike is over. Air Canada has resumed

00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:10.880
most of its flights now that a deal has been

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.560
reached with its CUPE -represented flight attendants.

00:00:13.699 --> 00:00:16.620
The four -year deal provides wage increases of

00:00:16.620 --> 00:00:19.920
between 16 and 20 percent. Flight attendants

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.339
will also receive some compensation for pre -

00:00:22.339 --> 00:00:25.320
and post -flight duties. The tentative deal still

00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.179
has to be ratified by union members. Other news.

00:00:29.850 --> 00:00:32.710
Canada's only Green MP will not lead the party

00:00:32.710 --> 00:00:35.929
in the next federal election. Elizabeth May has

00:00:35.929 --> 00:00:38.890
emailed members saying she intends to stay on

00:00:38.890 --> 00:00:41.530
as leader and member for Saanich Gulf Islands

00:00:41.530 --> 00:00:45.189
until the party's leadership review. May stepped

00:00:45.189 --> 00:00:49.030
down as party leader in 2019, but continued to

00:00:49.030 --> 00:00:53.049
get elected and sit as an MP. Neighbors reported

00:00:53.049 --> 00:00:56.170
hearing an explosion before a fire tore through

00:00:56.170 --> 00:00:59.810
a house in North Delta. Tuesday afternoon, the

00:00:59.810 --> 00:01:02.149
Surrey Nail leader says crews from both Delta

00:01:02.149 --> 00:01:05.349
and Surrey battled the blaze near 116th Street

00:01:05.349 --> 00:01:08.510
and 96th Avenue. It's believed the fire started

00:01:08.510 --> 00:01:11.790
on a back porch. Both Abbotsford and Mission

00:01:11.790 --> 00:01:14.870
have agreed to end a longstanding recycling contract

00:01:14.870 --> 00:01:19.650
with Archway Community Services. 62 people will

00:01:19.650 --> 00:01:22.829
be out of a job after the two cities opt for

00:01:22.829 --> 00:01:26.870
a new deal with a private company, Emterra. Archway

00:01:26.870 --> 00:01:30.549
was set up over 40 years ago to help provide

00:01:30.549 --> 00:01:33.590
jobs to those with physical and developmental

00:01:33.590 --> 00:01:37.530
disabilities. The change in contracts is expected

00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:41.530
to save money. The forecast, some showers for

00:01:41.530 --> 00:01:44.090
Wednesday morning and then a mix of sun and clouds,

00:01:44.349 --> 00:01:48.469
sunshine and warmer conditions for Thursday and

00:01:48.469 --> 00:01:52.670
Friday. For all the details on these local Vancouver
