Twenty daily temperature records have been set across the province as conditions yesterday were more like midsummer than the first week of fall.

Environment Canada says records were set along the south and central coasts, as far north as Haida Gwaii and east to Prince George, Dawson Creek and Blue River.

Squamish was the hot spot, posting a high of 29.9 Celsius, while Port Alberni, at 29.5 Celsius, smashed its old record set in 1918.

Cooler temperatures and rainfall are forecast in many parts of the province later today and overnight, but Lytton still stands a chance to set a record as the weather office is predicting a high of 32 Celsius there tomorrow.

Alberta education minister concerned about private school funding petition

Alberta's education minister says cutting government funding to private schools would only escalate the pressure faced by the province's strained public school system. Demetrios Nicolaides says thousands of children would need to find new schools to attend, likely public schools, which he says are already under immense pressure. The funding cut is a move one Calgary teacher is hoping to put to a vote. This week Alberta's chief electoral officer approved the teacher's proposed referendum question, which asks: ``Should the Government of Alberta end its current practice of allocating

Canada Post union set for meeting with Ottawa as strike stretches on

The union representing striking Canada Post employees says it will meet with the federal minister in charge of the Crown corporation after accusing Ottawa of trampling on the collective bargaining process. Postal workers took to the picket lines nearly two weeks ago after Procurement Minister Joël Lightbound announced sweeping changes to Canada Post's mandate that would allow the struggling postal service to overhaul its operations in the midst of negotiations with the union. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers is asking the minister to roll back the changes that include permitting the end o
