Vancouver rundown for Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026.
This weekend will be the last time those in B
.C. move their clocks by an hour. Premier David
Eby has announced this Sunday will mark a permanent
move to daylight saving time. Eby says the twice
yearly clock move has had a huge unnecessary
impact on the lives of British Columbians. The
Premier also says he hopes the U .S. Congress
will now allow governors in the Pacific time
zone to make the same move. Other news, Vancouver
has canceled yet another summertime event only
months after announcing the end of the celebration
of light fireworks. The 2026 car -free days will
not be going ahead. The Car -Free Vancouver Society
says it made the difficult decision after careful
consideration, noting an increase in costs and
a change to the grant structure. The chief of
Surrey's troubled police service says extortion
-related shootings are now decreasing. SPS chief
Norm Lipinski says his proof his department's
strategy is moving in the right direction. The
comments come despite a brutal month in January
with many violent incidents, some of them involving
repeat targets. A worker is recovering from serious
injuries after falling down a 20 -foot hole at
the Langley Event Center construction site. A
Langley Township firefighter had to go down into
the hole to rescue the worker Monday morning.
WorkSafeBC is now looking into why it happened.
The forecast is calling for periods of rain on
Tuesday, windy at times, some showers on Wednesday,
back to rain for Thursday. For all the details
