Stay inside - and stay out of the vicinity of Westminster Pier.

Environment Canada says the smoky conditions may persist into 'later this week'

A few light sprinkles may have brought what feels like somewhat better air to New Westminster this morning – but don’t open the windows and gulp in the air quite just yet.

With air quality beginning to improve, the district has announced that classes will go ahead at all schools in the city today (Tuesday)

Different people respond differently to smoke, and some people are at higher risk of experiencing health effects.

If you’re expecting packages or mail from Canada Post today, you are going to have to wait a bit longer.

Investigators are seeking assistance from anyone who may have information about the Westminster Pier Park fire – whether they know it or not.

A special #newwestgoesviral session is being held at 8 p.m. tonight (Monday) to give residents a chance to share their stories, memories and photos of the park that was hit by a devastating fire Sunday night

B.C. Premier John Horgan continued to evade questions Monday on whether he plans to call a snap election this month. The premier has been peppered with election questions over the past few weeks. The fixed election date is 13 months away.

The poor air quality from the Westminster Pier Park fire has shut down schools across the city. Now it’s shut down the local courthouse.
