No further details have been released about the incident, but DriveBC is telling motorists to expect major delays on Highway 1 between Exit 44 and King Edward Street. Randy Kang told CBC he was leaving work at a car dealership on Lougheed Highway when he saw police lights and heard people yelling before seeing officers running after someone. He says he saw a number of shots being fired and captured the incident on video. "Pretty intense — definitely caught me by surprise," Kang said. He added that as he was driving home later, he witnessed numerous police cars rushing toward Surrey. Braid SkyTrain Station in New Westminster was closed for more than an hour late Tuesday afternoon as a result of the incident, but Transit Police reported it was re-opening shortly before 6 p.m. PT.

This old Victorian home has a secret: it's part of the Montreal Metro system

STM built new ventilation station within the heritage property CBC News · Posted: Nov 22, 2022 7:40 AM ET | Last Updated: 12 hours ago 1423 Towers St., seen here in the centre, has been converted into an incognito STM facility. (Laura Marchand/CBC) 77 comments Unlike its neighbours, the house at 1423 Towers St. in downtown Montreal seems to have withstood the test of time. While its stone Victorian walls appear unchanged, the building itself is hiding a secret: it's not a house at all — at least, not anymore. For years, Montreal's transit authority has been discreetly building a sprawling ventilation system within — and below — the abandoned building.

(Submitted by Western Meteor Physics Group) 43 comments A meteor, one metre in diameter, lit up the southern Ontario sky early Saturday morning before it crash landed in pieces into Lake Ontario and along the shoreline of Grimsby, Ont., in the Niagara region. The landing now has scientists asking residents to keep an eye out for the space rocks — which could be billions of years old. The European Space Agency said this is only the sixth time that a meteor, which turns into meteorites as it falls to earth and breaks apart, has been detected well before impact by global asteroid warning systems. The systems were able t...
