Harbour Cruises vessel ran aground off Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver

VANCOUVER – Harbour Cruises says one passenger was injured after its 'flagship' sightseeing vessel ran aground in the waters off West Vancouver on Sunday. The cruise operator says there were 41 passengers on board, but the MV Harbour Princess did not take on water after running aground near Lighthouse Park, and one passenger suffered a minor injury but the vessel was not damaged. Harbour Cruises says in a statement that the boat was able to return to Coal Harbour on its own, but was escorted by search and rescue boats. The company says the vessel was built in 1994 and it's being taken out of service for an inspection 'out of an abundance of caution.' It says the Transportation Safety Board will be investigating and the vessel is expected to be back in the water in seven to 10 days. Company owner Graham Clarke says he extends his sympathies to affected passengers and thanked responders for their help, and the company says passengers on the voyage got their fares refunded. This report by The Canadian Press was first published August 4, 2025.

Thousands to flee First Nation in northern Manitoba over wildfire threat

WINNIPEG – Thousands have fled from a First Nation in northern Manitoba as wildfires burn close to the community. The Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation near Nelson House issued a full evacuation order Sunday in response to the blazes as flames threatened to cut off road access. It's been upgraded to a mandatory evacuation and the community's residents — approximately 4,000 people — were to register at the Norman Linklater Memorial Multiplex before boarding planes for Winnipeg. Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation Chief Angela Levasseur says crews are doing everything they can to suppress the flames and says concerns have been shared with provincial and federal leaders. Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, a group representing some northern First Nations, says more than 1,300 people have registered with the Canadian Red Cross in Winnipeg, and more were expected to arrive Monday. In July, some residents of the First Nation were ordered to evacuate following a state of emergency over heavy wildfire smoke. Wildfire smoke from across the west has filled many Canadian skies from Vancouver Island to Charlottetown with grey and gritty haze. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 4, 2025.
