Urgent sink hole repair closes Coquihalla Highway northbound from Hope to Merritt
Vehicles drive along the Coquihalla Highway, Wednesday, January 19, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jonathan Hayward A major highway in the British Columbia Interior has been partially closed due to 'urgent sink hole repairs.' The provincial Transportation Ministry's DriveBC information system says the Coquihalla Highway has been closed northbound between Hope and Merritt. DriveBC says the closure is due to what it's calling a 'washout' that requires urgent sink hole repairs, and the earliest traffic may resume is at around noon today. Motorists looking to travel northbound on the Coquihalla are being asked to divert to either Highway 1 or Highway 3. The closure was first reported by DriveBC at around 8:30 p.m. last night at a location between the Portia and Zopkios Brake Check exits, about three kilometres south of the Great Bear Snowshed. DriveBC has not released any information on the potential cause of the sink hole. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 6, 2025. Chuck Chiang, The Canadian Press

Toronto's air quality currently among worst in world due to wildfire smoke
Environment Canada warns wildfire smoke from northern Ontario and out west is reducing visibility and worsening air quality in Toronto. Toronto's air quality is ranked among the worst in the world today as smoke from wildfires drifts into the region. The wildfire smoke has prompted Environment Canada to issue a special air quality statement for the GTA, much of southern Ontario, as well as five other provinces and one territory. Environment Canada's David Phillips said as wildfires ramp up across the country, air quality is deteriorating. He noted that since the beginning of the month, there are 15 new out-of-control wildfires burning in northern Ontario and Western Canada. 'What we've seen this week, of course, in Ontario is a lot of that smoke from fires has come south,' he said. On Friday, Toronto's air quality index is expected to hit a maximum of 7 out of 10, which is classified as 'high risk,' Environment Canada said. As of 11 a.m. on Friday, Toronto's air quality was ranked fourth worst in the world, according to data from Swiss air quality tracker IQAir. The only other Canadian city with worse air quality than Toronto on Friday was Montreal, which was ranked third worst among all cities globally. 'Only a few see the flames but millions smell the smoke,' Phillips said. In areas where the air quality statement is in effect, Environment Canada urged residents to limit their time spent outdoors. In Toronto, the national weather agency warned that smoke levels are expected to rise in the area this morning and into this afternoon before easing this evening. 'As smoke levels increase, health risks increase,' the advisory reads, adding that people should consider reducing or rescheduling outdoor sports, activities, and events. It notes that smoke may cause mild irritation to your eyes, nose, and throat, and may lead to headaches or a mild cough. 'More serious but less common symptoms include wheezing, chest pains or severe cough,' the advisory continued. Those with pre-existing respiratory conditions, pregnant and elderly individuals, as well as young children, are more likely to be impacted by outdoor air pollution. Phillips said while the air quality index is expected to 'bounce around' in Toronto this weekend, 'smelly air' will be sticking around until early next week. 'It took so long for the summer-like weather to come and when it came, not with blue skies… but some cruddy-smelling air that actually almost (makes you wish) spring-like weather was back,' he said.
