The Oceanside RCMP detachment on Vancouver Island says charges have been laid following a ``lengthy and complex'' investigation into a fatal hit-and-run more than a year ago.

A statement from the detachment says 35 year old Ryan Grob has been charged with several counts including dangerous driving causing death and impaired driving, while 31 year old Travis Taylor has been charged with one count of obstruction of justice.

Police allege Grob was driving and Taylor was a passenger when a 32 year old man was hit and killed while crossing a Parksville street in August of last year.

Court documents show Taylor has been released and appeared in provincial court in Nanaimo today while Grob's next date is set for October 19th.

The change to mail delivery is expected to increase the time it takes Canada Post to deliver letter mail from an average of three to four days to an average of three to seven days.

Former MPs launch volunteer effort to renew NDP ahead of leadership race

Two former New Democrat MPs who lost their seats in the April election are launching a project to renew the party ahead of its March convention. Peter Julian and Matthew Green say their volunteer group is hoping to engage with party members across the country after the party's crushing election loss. The NDP lost official party status when it elected only seven members in April, and Jagmeet Singh stepped down as leader when he lost his own seat. The party is set to choose its next leader at the convention in Winnipeg. Julian and Green say the NDP can't afford to wait six months to begin an eng
