SURREY, B.C. - RCMP say a man was injured after he was struck by a freight train in Surrey, B.C., on Sunday afternoon.
Police say the 58-year-old Surrey man was trying to get his dogs off the train tracks as the train was approaching.
They say the man was hit by the train, which was travelling at a low speed as it was attempting to stop.
The man sustained non-life threatening injuries and he was taken to hospital.
The dogs were not injured.
Doug McCallum said Monday a municipal force would be able to recruit officers who spend their careers in the city, develop relationships with residents, businesses and community groups, and improve public trust and safety.
The officer was responding to a call in the Kelowna area at about 6 p.m. Monday when his unmarked, SUV collided with a transport truck travelling in the same direction.
Debate has erupted over the definition of the term after the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls repeatedly used it in its final report released Monday.
Sharon McIvor says she has been part of the fight for the rights of Indigenous women for more than 40 years and she didn't believe she would live to see the day that the report would be released.
The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society says in a report that while there has been progress in recent years, recommendations from international scientific bodies suggest there's more work to do.
Others say they got official warnings on their cellphones for areas outside the city, after the tornado had already passed.
