Home owned by family of UBC and Vancouver Coastal Health embezzler up for sale
The Law Courts building, which is home to B.C. Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal, is seen in Vancouver, on Thursday, Nov. 23, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck NORTH VANCOUVER — A real estate listing for a $2 million property in North Vancouver says the home has been excellently maintained and is on an attractive street, but what the description doesn't say is it's a forced sale involving an embezzler and a years-long legal battle. The B.C. government gazette says the sale was ordered when the B.C. Supreme Court sided with the University of British Columbia in a lawsuit filed against the estate of Wanda Moscipan, who worked as an administrator for both the university and the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority between 1997 and 2011. A court ruling last year says Moscipan used her 'substantial administrative autonomy' in her dual role to engage in 'various fraudulent actions,' including forging signatures, stealing from a dormant bank account and paying herself an inflated salary. The court ruling says the woman died in 2012, the year both the university and the health authority filed lawsuits to recover the stolen funds. The gazette listing says a court bailiff was to list the property for sale on Thursday for the recovery of more than $1.5 million against her estate, administered by her husband. The conditions of the property sale say the proceeds will go to pay any outstanding taxes, sheriff's fees, Realtor commissions, with the remainder paid out by the court to the university and the health authority. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 13, 2025.

Bylaw officers stepping up parking tickets across Ottawa
More parking tickets are being handed out in Ottawa this year compared to last and it's not just happening downtown. CTV's Natalie van Rooy reports. It appears bylaw officers are stepping up enforcement in the capital. New data obtained by CTV News Ottawa shows more parking tickets are being handed out this year compared to 2024. It's not just downtown, drivers in the suburbs say they're finding more and more unwelcome pieces of paper on their windshields. Armaan Bhir and his brother have received hundreds of dollars worth of parking tickets on Via Verona Avenue in Barrhaven. 'I was parking right outside my house. I think I might have probably put it on about $400 to $500 in just the last two years,' said Bhir. He said that includes tickets for both himself and his brother. They've been fined for different reasons, whether parking too long on the street or a tire touching the curb. It's frustrating for the Barrhaven resident who shares the driveway with his family. 'They can at least knock on the door if it's half a curb or something,' he said. 'I've never gotten a warning or a knock on the door.' Bhir said he warms his friends before they visit to be mindful of street parking and offers space on his driveway if there is any. Bylaw officers are on track to issue more fines for time limit parking infractions in 2025 compared to last year. In 2024, officers handed out 35,432 tickets to vehicles parked in excess of the permitted time on an unsigned street. So far this year, officers have issued 20,010 tickets for parking in excess of the time limit on streets without parking limit signs. 'I'm allowed to park for three hours, I may have been a little bit over it, but again, it's absurd around here,' said John Eaton, who received a ticket on Via Verona Avenue a few weeks ago. Whether or not there's a sign posted, the rules for street parking in Ottawa are consistent across the downtown core and in the suburbs. During the week, you can't park more than three hours from 7 a.m. to 7p.m. in one place. On weekends, it's six hours. The fine for parking more than posted time limits is $70. It's $50 if you pay right away. 'My parents extended the driveway, so we'd have more room to park and not have to worry about that, but it does become like a bit of a concern when we have visitors over and stuff like that,' said Lara Simard, who lives in Barrhaven. Simard says parking tickets all along Via Verona Avenue happens all the time. 'My boyfriend was parked for a little over three hours in the winter and got a ticket,' she said. 'Bylaw comes here all the time, my grandma got one a few times as well.' Bylaw was not available for an on-cameras interview, but in a statement to CTV News said in part: 'Bylaw is not currently conducting a targeted parking enforcement blitz; however, officers continue to proactively and reactively enforce overtime parking regulations to support parking turnover and maintain traffic flow in residential areas.

Man arrested after hitting cyclist and stealing Montreal police car
A man was arrested after stealing a police car from a collision scene in Montreal's Plateau Mont-Royal borough Friday afternoon. (SOURCE: Loren Cantor) A man was arrested after stealing a police car from a collision scene in Montreal's Plateau Mont-Royal borough Friday afternoon. Police were called around 4:50 p.m. about a collision between a vehicle and a cyclist at the intersection of du Parc-La Fontaine Avenue and Roy Street. A passerby managed to steal a cruiser as officers intervened and fled driving northbound, hitting several vehicles in his path. A 28-year-old woman who was hit in her car suffered minor injuries to the face and was transported to hospital. The stolen police car was later intercepted at the intersection of Papineau Avenue and Gilford Street after a police chase. In total, two civilian vehicles and five police cars were damaged. The driver, a 32-year-old man, was arrested for driving under the influence and was taken to a detention centre. Police say he is expected to face several other charges. The cyclist was injured but his life is not in danger. Two crime scenes have been set up both on du Parc-La Fontaine Avenue and on Gilford Street. Editor's note: The SPVM previously stated that the man arrested was the driver of the vehicle that struck the cyclist. He is in fact a bystander who is not connected to the collision.
