Emergency service for wildfire evacuees in northeastern B.C. extended
B.C. Premier David Eby walks with then-Federal Minister of Emergency Preparedness Harjit Sajjan as they meet with officials at the incident command post in West Kelowna, B.C., on Tuesday, August 22, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chad Hipolito The British Columbia regional district where a wildfire continues to burn out of control has extended its emergency support services to residents evacuated from the blaze. The Peace River Regional District says emergency support services for the Kelly Lake area have been extended by seven days to June 8 'out of an abundance of caution based on recommendations from BC Wildfire Service due to uncertain fire conditions.' Nearby, the Kiskatinaw River wildfire continues to burn out of control, although the wildfire service says Sunday that its area has fallen to about 30 square kilometres, down from 46 square kilometres on Friday. About 70 people living in the area have been ordered to evacuate from their homes. The regional district says those who are in need of lodging, food or supply referrals should go in-person to the emergency support services centre in Dawson Creek. Overall, there are about 60 active wildfires in British Columbia as of Sunday, with the vast majority located in the province's northeast where some of B.C.'s worst drought conditions are situated.

Full closure of King-Church intersection beginning a month ahead of schedule on June 2
The intersection of King Street East and Church Street will be fully closed to all traffic starting on Monday, about four weeks earlier than initially expected. Last month, the City of Toronto and TTC began working to replace sections of the 142-year-old watermains and rebuild pipes and streetcar tracks at King and Church streets resulting in traffic being reduced to one lane in each direction. The city said that 'unexpected underground conflicts' on the south side of King necessitated changes to the construction approach, as part of the watermain that was originally planned to be replaced will now be 'relined to extend its service life.' To stay on schedule, the watermain work and advance streetcar track replacement will be done in tandem. As a result, the TTC will implement a number of diversions, notably the 504C and 504D/304D King routes, around the intersection due to the construction. As with the full closure, this routing change is also happening earlier than planned, with buses will diverting via Jarvis, Front, (eastbound), Wellington (westbound), and Yonge streets. Existing diversions to the 503/303 Kingston Rd and the 504/304 King streetcars will remain as they are. The 504 King streetcar, meanwhile, will divert both ways via Shaw Street and the 503 Kingston Road streetcar will continue to divert via Spadina and Queen, running west on King Street to the Dufferin Loop. This expedited work schedule will now mean that the intersection is expected to reopen by mid-August. The construction work, while is needed to bring this infrastructure to a state of good repair and is part of the City Council's approved 2025 Capital Works Program, was to originally ramp up in July and conclude in late August.
