00:00:10.910 --> 00:00:13.890
school basketball game. Vancouver police say

00:00:13.890 --> 00:00:16.129

00:00:16.129 --> 00:00:19.329

00:00:27.489 --> 00:00:30.690
Vancouver drug users are expressing shock and

00:00:30.690 --> 00:00:33.950
surprise after an overdose prevention site was

00:00:33.950 --> 00:00:37.329
shut down without notice. Vancouver Coastal Health

00:00:37.329 --> 00:00:40.549
says the directive to close the site on Howe

00:00:40.549 --> 00:00:43.990
Street came from the building's owner. The prevention

00:00:43.990 --> 00:00:46.350
site was located in the back of a supportive

00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:49.729
housing complex and had been in operation for

00:00:49.729 --> 00:00:53.070
about two years. A man has been airlifted to

blaze, which broke out in a trailer Tuesday morning.

00:01:04.909 --> 00:01:08.769
The cause appears to be accidental. Some thieves

00:01:08.769 --> 00:01:12.390
have stolen close to 1 .3 kilometers of copper

00:01:12.390 --> 00:01:16.989

off by those removing the manhole covers over

00:01:23.769 --> 00:01:26.810
a two -month period. The situation was first

00:01:26.810 --> 00:01:29.469
discovered Christmas Eve after a driver ran over

00:01:29.469 --> 00:01:33.379
a manhole with its cover removed. On 64th Avenue,

00:01:33.700 --> 00:01:37.000
Canadian copper wire thefts grew by over 200

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.680
