Vancouver traffic affected as Shaw sign getting replaced
Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 26 May, 2023 09:41 AM
Vancouver drivers will see some road closures this morning as a helicopter transports large signs from the Shaw Tower.
The city says the 200 block of Thurlow Street and the one-thousand block of West Waterfront Road will be closed from 7 a-m until noon for work to replace Shaw signs on the tower with Rogers ones.
The city says the helicopter will be making eight flights to transport the four sign pieces from the tower to a staging area in Coal Harbour.
Six new sign pieces will be transported to the Shaw tower over 12 flights on June 1st.
The July 8 outage affected Rogers mobile and internet users, knocked out ATMs, shut down the Interac payments system and prevented calls to 911 services in some Canadian cities.
Sgt. David Lee of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team told a news conference that a white Honda CRV pulled up near the scene of the shooting at around 7 a.m. and Malik was shot and killed at about 9:30 that morning. "The occupants were waiting for Mr. Malik," he said.
The panel of three Appeal Court justices did find the lower-court judge erred in his analysis of the right to life, saying the provincial act's provisions do deprive some patients, not only of the right to security of the person, but of the right to life.
Acting provincial health officer Dr. Martin Lavoie says they know the vaccines are safe and have helped the province weather the pandemic. While most children who are infected with COVID-19 have mild symptoms, he says others can get very sick.
EComm, the 911 emergency communication operator for most of the province, said in a statement that landline and cell service is unavailable in Lytton and for the areas nearby of Boston Bar and Spences Bridge, but Brach said the outage is believed to be unrelated to the fire.
The incident had closed Lougheed Highway between Rupert Street and Boundary Road, a major route for traffic. Emergency Health Services says the two patients were transported to hospital. It did not provide details on their condition.
