Fast-Track Projects Under Fire | Vancouver News

The government’s rushed push to fast-track major projects is hitting a wall—after 21,000+ public submissions, officials are now sifting through feedback on bold proposals that could bypass full reviews, create economic zones with pre-approved activities, and shift pipeline oversight to a different agency. Critics—including Indigenous groups and environmentalists—have slammed the plan as exclusionary and culturally disconnected, forcing a delayed deadline and intense consultations. With a summary report due by summer’s end and legislation tabled in fall, the government faces a high-stakes balancing act: speeding up development without sacrificing environmental safeguards or Indigenous rights—especially as a major investment summit looms in September.

Foot Patrols Bring Change to Downtown | Vancouver News

Victoria police are seeing early wins from increased downtown foot patrols, with fewer tents and disorder reported on Pandora and Johnson Street — though Chief Fiona Wilson warns the work isn’t done. Last year, those blocks saw over 3,000 calls; this year’s rise is partly due to businesses feeling safer reporting issues, with patrol officers spotting and addressing half the problems themselves. While visibility is helping curb vandalism, critics say police can only move people — not solve root causes — and call for support services outside commercial zones. The chief admits the cycle of displacement frustrates everyone and stresses that lasting change needs housing, health, and community support, not just policing. Meanwhile, the department is reviewing resource use and has pulled officers from a regional major crime unit, choosing to handle homicides internally after a decade-long drop in such cases.
