There has been a new presumptive confirmed case of the novel coronavirus in British Columbia. B.C. health officials says the latest case is a woman in her 50s who lives in the Vancouver area.

The Federal Court of Appeal has dismissed the latest challenge of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion today. Four First Nations from British Columbia filed court challenges after the federal government approved the project a second time last June. A court hearing in December focused on the government's consultation with the First Nations between August 2018 and June 2019. The consultation took place after the Court of Appeal struck down the first project approval in August 2018 in part because of insufficient dialogue with Indigenous groups. At the hearing last month, the Tsleil-Waututh Nat
