Vancouver rundown for Wednesday, December 10,
2025. Rain and flood advisories have been posted
for much of the south coast as stormy weather
is expected to continue through Wednesday. The
heaviest downpours are expected in eastern parts
of the Fraser Valley, Skagit Valley and Manning
Park. Orange rainfall warnings are in effect
and localized flooding is expected. The atmospheric
river should ease off by late Wednesday night.
Other news, homeowners in Delta can expect a
2 .9 % property tax increase. Delta Council has
approved a budget, which also includes a significant
increase in water, sewer, and garbage collection
fees. The property tax is equivalent to an extra
$90 per year. For the average $1 .34 million
home, Mayor George Harvey says the budget strikes
a balance between delivering the amenities and
services residents expect and recognizing the
economic pressures people are facing. A home
in Mission has now been targeted for the second
time in two years as someone took shots at a
house near the Mission Sports Park. RCMP say
the latest shooting happened at around 2 a .m.
on Tuesday. The same house on Kennedy Avenue
was hit by overnight gunfire in April of 2024.
There were no injuries in either shooting. Investigators
are not sure of the motive. Doctors in B .C.
have been told to notify parents if children
turn up with mental health or drug issues. New
guidance from the provincial government also
allows physicians to potentially involuntarily
detain youth who reject care. The move is aimed
at preventing a recent increase in youth drug
overdoses. Every rain for Wednesday, windy at
times, clouds for Thursday, more rain on Friday.
