The province of B. C. claims public confidence in the land registration system and the "essential work of reconciliation" is in peril. Meanwhile, the City of Richmond says the "property of thousands of Richmond's citizens" could be at risk in the event of catastrophic flooding. The Port of Vancouver claims port operations, leaseholders and businesses employing hundreds of people could face a "chaotic situation. "And both the Musqueam Indian Band and Tsawwassen First Nation say they're being squeezed out of their traditional fishing grounds. Analysis'It would be wrong': Why Richmond, B. C., residents weren't told about First Nation's claim to titleCBC News has obtained copies of lengthy submissions filed in B. C.'s Court of Appeal earlier this month, in multiple bids to stay parts of the landmark B. C. Supreme Court Quw'utsun (Cowichan) Nation Aboriginal title decision before it comes into full effect in February 2027. Six of the parties appealing the ruling claim dire consequences could flow from Justice Barbara Young's decision — which they claim impacts dikes, private property, a port transporation hub and the right to fish in waters claimed by other First Nations.

Bus driver charged with manslaughter in massive crash that killed 5 on I-95 in Virginia - ABC News - Breaking News, Latest News and Videos

The driver of the bus at the center of a deadly chain-reaction crash on Interstate 95 in Virginia has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, Virginia State Police said Saturday. Five people were killed and 44 others injured in the Friday crash. Jing S. Dong, 48, of Staten Island, New York, who suffered injuries and remains hospitalized, was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter, with additional charges pending, the state police said. "Even as the Virginia State Police continues to conduct a complex investigation, I have determined that probable cause presently exists to establish that the driver of the tour bus caused this crash and, at the time of the crash, he was driving in a criminally negligent manner," Stafford County Commonwealth's Attorney Eric Olsen said in a press release. Dong will be held without bond pending his appearance in Court, according to Olsen. The accident unfolded at about 2:35 a.m. Friday on I-95 south in Stafford County, about 45 miles south of Washington, D.

Today in Delaware County history, Oct. 21 - Delco Times

100 Years Ago, 1926: Stables within the city are gradually disappearing and the ones left are few and far between. This fact was brought to light yesterday by a Times reporter who made a canvass of several wards in the lower section of the city before he found a place where a stranger could find a stall for his horse, if there are any strangers who own horses. Hundreds of small buildings that formerly housed the Dobbin families have been converted into garages and not a few have had a little more space added to them and are now listed as a cozy little home. It is estimated that there are less than 300 horses all told in the city as compared with nearly 2,000 automobiles, which explains why so many former stables now house the family flivver. 75 Years Ago, 1951: South Chester Methodist Church, Third and Jeffrey streets, will observe its 80th anniversary Sunday with special homecoming services, according to Rev. Ellsworth L. Jennings, pastor. During the winter of 1865, a number of persons, mostly members of Trinity Church, met at the home of William Gallow, Fifth Street and Central Avenue, and organized a Sunday school, with Gallow being elected superintendent.

UCP MLA who backed Alberta separatist petition not seeking re-election

A United Conservative Party politician who promoted a petition pushing for a referendum on separation says he will not seek re-election. Red Deer-South MLA Jason Stephan said in a statement released Monday evening that he sought to “speak the truth as best as I understand it” because his “duty is to seek freedom and prosperity for Alberta.”Stephan, who served as parliamentary secretary for constitutional affairs in Premier Danielle Smith’s government, promoted a petition earlier this year that pushed for a referendum on separation. Albertans overwhelmingly rejected the idea of holding a formal referendum on separation Monday, with around 76 per cent voting to remain part of Canada. “Canada could be the most free and prosperous nation on earth, but it is not,” Stephan said in his statement, which cited Texas as having a larger gross domestic product than Canada.
