A B.C. family is sharing their story after a 15-year-old boy was bitten by a rattlesnake his father unknowingly picked up while doing yard work.

The teen was rushed to hospital as venom caused severe swelling and other symptoms. He spent three days in intensive care and received 14 vials of antivenin.

The family now hopes their experience serves as a warning: never pick up a snake, and treat a suspected rattlesnake bite as a medical emergency.

A former Surrey RCMP officer has been sentenced to 18 months in jail after pleading guilty to breach of trust.

Dawwd Soukary was found to have accessed and shared confidential police information with associates connected to criminal activity. An RCMP undercover operation tracked his actions over several months before his arrest in January 2021.

The B.C. Supreme Court said his actions damaged public trust in the RCMP and violated the responsibility that comes with being a police officer.

B.C. Attorney General Niki Sharma is calling on Meta to extend its new child safety measures to Canada after the company agreed to introduce stronger protections for young users in the United States.

The proposed safeguards include daily time limits, overnight access restrictions, fewer push notifications during school hours and additional controls for teen accounts.

Sharma says Canadian children deserve the same level of protection and families should not have to wait for ongoing legal cases before stronger safeguards are introduced.

The B.C. Conservatives have lost their seventh MLA in August after Chilliwack-Cultus Lake representative Áʼa꞉líya Warbus announced she is leaving the party’s caucus.

Warbus cited a “critical breakdown in communication” between party leadership, MLAs and staff, saying she had lost confidence in her ability to represent her constituents from within the caucus.

She will now sit as an Independent alongside several other former B.C. Conservative MLAs, as the party faces a turbulent month of resignations, defections and internal controversy.

A suspect has been arrested after a graffiti memorial painted onto boulders at Golden Ears Provincial Park sparked widespread outrage online.

Police say the vandalism was apparently intended as a tribute to a man who drowned, but the painted rocks raised concerns about environmental damage, cleanup costs, and the impact on other park users.

The suspect later surrendered to Maple Ridge RCMP and was released on a promise to appear in court. The investigation remains ongoing.

A third grizzly bear from a family of four that became habituated to humans near Nelson, B.C., has been killed. The young bear was found frequenting residential areas near Christina Lake, including a beach, backyards, a golf course and a busy campground.

Wildlife officials said its dependence on human food and previous relocation meant another relocation or rehabilitation was no longer considered viable. The family's mother and another cub were also killed earlier this month, leaving one female yearling as the sole surviving member of the group.

Officials are again reminding residents to properly secure garbage and other food attractants to help prevent human-wildlife conflicts.

Cody Haevischer has lost his latest court battle to have his convictions in the Surrey Six murders overturned. A judge dismissed his application after a lengthy evidentiary hearing, finding that most of his allegations had no merit.

The ruling brought an emotional moment for the family of Christopher Mohan, one of the two innocent victims killed in the 2007 shooting at Surrey’s Balmoral Tower. Mohan’s mother said the decision brought her a sense of peace and confidence that justice had prevailed.
