00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.960
Vancouver rundown for Wednesday, December 10,

00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:07.759
2025. Rain and flood advisories have been posted

00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:10.800
for much of the south coast as stormy weather

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.880
is expected to continue through Wednesday. The

00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:16.820
heaviest downpours are expected in eastern parts

00:00:16.820 --> 00:00:19.039
of the Fraser Valley, Skagit Valley and Manning

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.940
Park. Orange rainfall warnings are in effect

00:00:21.940 --> 00:00:25.980
and localized flooding is expected. The atmospheric

00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:29.440
river should ease off by late Wednesday night.

00:00:29.899 --> 00:00:33.719
Other news, homeowners in Delta can expect a

00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:37.759
2 .9 % property tax increase. Delta Council has

00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.740
approved a budget, which also includes a significant

00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:43.880
increase in water, sewer, and garbage collection

00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.859
fees. The property tax is equivalent to an extra

00:00:47.859 --> 00:00:51.920
$90 per year. For the average $1 .34 million

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.840
home, Mayor George Harvey says the budget strikes

00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.140
a balance between delivering the amenities and

00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:03.079
services residents expect and recognizing the

00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.500
economic pressures people are facing. A home

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.439
in Mission has now been targeted for the second

00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.000
time in two years as someone took shots at a

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.799
house near the Mission Sports Park. RCMP say

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.719
the latest shooting happened at around 2 a .m.

00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.760
on Tuesday. The same house on Kennedy Avenue

00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.760
was hit by overnight gunfire in April of 2024.

00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.200
There were no injuries in either shooting. Investigators

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.980
are not sure of the motive. Doctors in B .C.

00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:38.560
have been told to notify parents if children

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.620
turn up with mental health or drug issues. New

00:01:42.620 --> 00:01:45.099
guidance from the provincial government also

00:01:45.099 --> 00:01:48.060
allows physicians to potentially involuntarily

00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:52.040
detain youth who reject care. The move is aimed

00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.079
at preventing a recent increase in youth drug

00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.939
overdoses. Every rain for Wednesday, windy at

00:01:58.939 --> 00:02:02.659
times, clouds for Thursday, more rain on Friday.

00:02:03.140 --> 00:02:06.260
