00:00:11.179 --> 00:00:13.960

36th Avenue during the noon hour on Tuesday.

00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.320
A burned vehicle was later discovered a few blocks

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.440
away. There are no obvious links between this

00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.420

00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.660

Thursday. Fraser Health says there's a temporary

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:41.659

00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:08.980
interest. Toys R Us continued to operate some

00:01:08.980 --> 00:01:12.340
stores in Canada after the retailer went bankrupt

00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:16.280
in the U .S. Potholes have popped tires on more

00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.140

the Variable Speed Corridor from 100 to 60 kilometers

00:01:32.790 --> 00:01:36.450
an hour on Tuesday as crews started repairs on

00:01:36.450 --> 00:01:40.040
the highway. The area was hit hard by heavy rain

00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.159
