NEW: It’s happened again at Oakridge.
A crane has dropped its load—narrowly missing traffic.
Fortunately, this time no one was killed.
1 day after new crane safety regulations came into effect in BC.
Details tonight on @GlobalBC News at 11.

Did you know? Langara Golf Course, a 46-hectare park in the heart of the city, offers a sanctuary for various species.
Surrounded by a 2.3-kilometre public perimeter trail, the course is a haven for birds, bees, and wildlife—like this deer that graced us with its presence. 🦌

Not so difficult to support turning the Langara Golf course in #Marpole into housing, including a large student housing component for @langaracollege which is next door. Currently so few people are able to take advantage of the space.
