So THAT’S how they did it! Of all the World Cup landmarks, this has got to be the most iconic. Well done @TheLookCompany1 who engineered the transformation.
They just finished adding the final panel to the Science World dome. 131 custom panels, re-create the Adidas Trionda official ball for FIFA 2026. No doubt, this will be one of the iconic shots for the tournament. #FifaWorldCup @cknw @GlobalBC #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Major fires impact entire communities. The Penticton construction fire displaced residents and created ongoing safety concerns. Credit to Penticton Fire Department and partners for limiting fire spread and protecting nearby homes. #FireService globalnews.ca/news/11874627/…

Regional collaboration in action. 🔥 Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, and Esquimalt Fire have launched a joint recruitment campaign, reducing duplication and strengthening the candidate pool. The North Shore has shown this model works. A win for departments & applicants!
