Speaker 2 (00:16):
This government needs to get back to the table.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Thousands of BCGU workers expected to create a sea of
yellow at the legislature tomorrow as negotiations between the union
and the province break down.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
And there's no reason for them to have it close.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Tensions are escalating between authorities and vamfield protesters wanting to
use an access road, demanding it to be reopened.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
No if that many cuts would fit.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Flying with felines, this week's Vital People is all about
helping save and rescue animals in the air. Check News
starts now. Good evening, and thank you for joining us.
I'm chattisliele. As the fall session at the BC Legislature
(01:05):
gets under way tomorrow, the BCGU says it will escalate
its strike on the legislative lawn tomorrow, with thousands of
employees expected to disrupt the capital City's Monday morning commute.
For more on all of this and what to expect
will bring in Liz Brown, Liz, Tomorrow seems to be
the largest escalation yet since the strike first began.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
That's right, Chattis. The BC Government Employees Union first initiated
job action on September TEWOD after negotiations broke down between
the BCGU and the BC Public Service Agency back in July.
The two parties met again this past Monday, but didn't
get too far, with negotiations now heading into the week
six of these negotiations, the union says it will keep
(01:50):
escalating until a better wage offer comes through. With Vancouver's
march on Wednesday, Tomorrow's march in Victoria expects to bring
out thousands of striking workers and supporters to the BC
Legislative Assembly. I spoke to Paul Finch earlier today. He's
the president of the BCGU and he'll be leading the
march tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And so the message that we're bringing to the rally
in Victoria tomorrow morning is that government needs to listen
to the people. And so you know, we're in Victoria
to send a very clear message, and that's government needs
to get back to the table with a fair wage offer.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
It's no accident.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
The rally takes place on day one of the fall
legislative session, where elected officials will converge, but the BCGU
hopes to bring both parties back to the table. Their
demands haven't changed. The union says it still wants a
credible wage offer now. VICPD has already warned of CCTV
deployment and says traffic could be disrupted for several hours.
(02:53):
The march starts at eleven in the morning at Centennial Square,
heads down Blanchard Street and ends at the BC Legislature,
where the rally starts at noon. Vicpini will be downtown
and Warren's commuters to take alternate routes if possible.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Tattas OK, thank you so much for bringing us those details,
Liz Liz Brown tonight in studio. Following a record number
of condos starts in Canada for or so years ago,
developers are now contending with hundreds, sometimes thousands of new
never lived in units in big cities. It's an imbalance,
but not a crisis, say housing experts, one that will
(03:30):
correct itself. Of course, sit Away has more.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
In a province facing an affordability crisis and lack of
housing supply, a glut of new condos sitting unsold may
come as a surprise.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
We haven't seen that since about two thousand and one.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
That's really the last time there was this level of
available inventory.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
In two of BC's major cities, Vancouver and Victoria. Right now,
there are thousands of new condos sitting empty. In Vancouver,
it's about twenty five hundred. In Victoria, it's lower three
hundred and fifty for August. But that's a double compared
to what it was last year, and it's not an anomaly.
The trend has been observed similarly month over a month
for the past year.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
A lot of this is related to probably the caps
on are you know, international students and non permanent residents
like they are mostly renters, however, and that filtering effect
is happening too.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Economists call it a perfect storm, the caps on immigration
simultaneous with a surge of new condo completions following record
starts in twenty twenty twenty twenty one.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
These two coinciding together is like making this imbalance in
the market an imbalanced.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
It's certainly not a crisis.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
But not a crisis, say housing experts. Given the context,
the resale market continues to be strong and the industry
is nowhere near the point of banks and creditors coming
out to repossess or get their money back in a hurry. Still,
it's a pattern watching.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
We're keeping an eye on it and continuing to be
in discussion with homebuilders. Our goal continues to be seeing
homes built and people living in them.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Eventually, Industry experts say the units will be bought.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
The absorption is there.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Especially in Greater Victoria, which is moving from glut to
cuts now in a phase experts say where less supply
will be coming online.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Frustration has reached a boiling point in Bamfield, where the
main road to the community has been shut down for
nearly two months due to the Mount Underwood wildfire. It's
taken locals eight hours to make the round trip to
Port o'bernie if they have just learned. A logging company
at Mosaic opened an alternative route one month ago that
locals aren't allowed to use. Skywriine now on y RCMP
(05:50):
were called the roadblock.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Today.
Speaker 10 (05:55):
Ross Griffiths walks defiantly through roadblocks on Bamfield Road Sunday
that he says are destroying his community's businesses and threatening
the safety of its hundreds of people. The Banfield man
says he wanted to see for himself the damage that's
kept it closed since August eleventh by the Mount Underwood wildfire,
but says what he found has only made him more
(06:16):
upset to walk.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
That is very disappointing.
Speaker 11 (06:20):
Well, I thought it was destroyed the road, Yeah, and
then you come to.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
A road like this, a road that should be traveled on,
and there's no reason for them to have it closed.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
I just have zero trust in the system that's being
implemented at the moment.
Speaker 10 (06:33):
Our CNP were soon called to the scene. Griffiths and
fellow Banfield residents walked through in protests Sunday while taking
photos that appear to show no damage to the road,
while demanding this lifeline to their community be reopened.
Speaker 12 (06:47):
There is no reason why we can't drive this road
and having that bypass we just found out about it
is ridiculous and they shut the town down.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
We're not a priority, not at all. The loggers are
more of a priority. They had this road all along.
Speaker 10 (07:05):
Locals are referring to this new bypass road about one
kilometer before the roadblock that they say Mosaic opened to
continue its logging operations to Bamfield. So Sunday many drove
it themselves, urging Mosaic to allow Bamfield's residents to use
it all.
Speaker 11 (07:22):
We're asking Mosaics, your good neighbor, help us out.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
So it's nine hours to go around from Bamfield to
port Alberni and back for our doctor's appointments, our dentist appointments.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
We don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
That's why we're here today.
Speaker 11 (07:35):
We don't know why it's so closed.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
We can have done the road ourselves by now.
Speaker 10 (07:40):
The Ministry of Transportation did not respond to check News'
requests for comment by Sunday's deadline, but last stated it
would be another month before Bamfield Road could be reopened,
as local businesses suffer from lost tourism and Bamfield residents
grow even more frustrated trying to be heard.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
What was flowing out on the streets of Oak Bay today.
Cruise were out on the corner of Renfurd Road and
Cardiff Place after a water main broke at around three
thirty am this morning. Officials say that the water main
also caused water to flood in some of the surrounding houses.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
It's pretty regular. Infrastructure is getting older and we're working
at replacing it as much as we can.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
For the type of pipe.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
It's getting close to the end of its age, bros.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It says that most of the pipes that Burst and
Oak Bay are made from Aspetus concrete dating back to
the mid nineteen sixties. Crews are expected to have all
repairs completed by six pm tonight. The submarine known as
the HMC has Corner Brook arrived at Ogden Point bright
and early this morning. What a beautiful moment here as
(08:59):
a member of the Canadian Navy land and at Ogden
Point to meet his significant other after months at Seed.
The HMCS Cornerbrook arrived this morning at Ogden Point to
see of spectators waiting to get a glimpse and a
tour of the thirty six year old longrange submarine. HMCS
Cornerbrook completed a Canadian Armed Forces exercise in the Arctic
that started back in mid to August.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Courtbrook is the mainstay of the Case Submarine force right
now and we were able to throughout our program for
the past several months to be rotating out the people
that we need so that we can maintain the force
that we need for the future.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Well so short families were able to reunite and enjoy
food and musical performances. Together, the events coincide coined. The
Defense on the Dock also showcased a marine career expo
with representatives from VC Ferries and the Canadian Coast Guard.
Speaker 11 (09:50):
What a beautiful day was and great to see because
it's so hard in the family of course when their
loved ones are away. So those reunions are always great,
and we could not have had a nicer mourning for
I'm calling it aug October.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yes, I noticed it yesterday.
Speaker 11 (10:04):
October October. We are looking at beautiful sunny conditions. Let's
take a look at our satellite radar and you can
see just a little bit of precipitation for parts of Hidaguay,
parts of Northern BC, a little bit of snow for
those Northern BC mountains as well. But for the most part,
this is kind of a pattern we'd see in July
or August in the summer, where we have several days
of dry conditions, lots of sunshine store and then some
(10:27):
above seasonal temperatures as well. So coming in today around
four o'clock this afternoon, it was already twenty degrees and
parts of Greater Victoria, most parts of Greater Victoria between
that seventeen and twenty degree mark normal for this time
of the Year's a daytime high is about fifteen to
sixteen degrees, so you can see lots of the island
getting sort of in that sort of mid to high teens.
For tomorrow, summaries might even be above twenty tomorrow. Let's
(10:48):
take a look at our September rainfall now, because there's
really a big difference depending where you were on the island,
whether you had a wet September or a dry September.
So some areas like those in Purple, Port Hardy, Campbell
River getting much more more than normal precipitation one hundred
and fifty three percent for Port Hardy, Kembell River one
hundred and sixty four percent. Then we had areas like
Comocks it was right around normal. Cumberland actually had quite
(11:09):
a bit more of those sixty eight millimeters for Cumberland
compared to the forty four point seven for Comox, and
then port Albernie Andaimo around that eighty percent mark of normal,
so drier than most Septembers. And Qualicum in the University
of Victoria were the ones that really were dry, so
just over fifty percent of normal precipitation only sixteen point
four millimeters at UVic twenty two point two for Qualicum
(11:30):
and then Duncan right around that normal mark, just like
the Victoria Airport as well.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Well.
Speaker 11 (11:35):
Today's weather photo is this great shot of this morning
sunrise spinning its rays over a spider web. It was
taken by check viewer Brenda Lee at the Cowichin River Estuary.
Talk about a perfect October shot and how's this for
a spooky season photo shoot? If you're a swifty you'll
probably be able to guess that each dog actually represents
a Taylor Swift album. Lisa Thompson of My Pet Nanny
(11:58):
was fearless, taking twelve all of her pack dogs to
shake it off and show some style at Lasting Impressions Photography.
Far from an anti hero, Lisa created all of the
costumes and she'll be creating a twenty twenty six calendar
to raise money for the Farm Rescue. So cute. Well,
we have lots of puppy love coming up on pat
check today, and chattisay, I'll tell you how long this
(12:20):
stretch of sunshine, at least for most of the island
is expected to last.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, I'm sure everybody's going to want to know how
long it's going to last, for sure, Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Tests.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Okay, we're going to take our first break, but we'll
be back shortly to take you to the Harbor City
to hear calls for a new school.
Speaker 9 (12:35):

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
