RCMP have released more details about a suspect linked to the deliberate cutting of the huge cable supporting the Sea-to-Sky gondola in Squamish.

The attacks, in 2019 and 2020, sent all the cars on the nearly five-kilometre long cable crashing to the ground.

Sergeant Chris Manseau says police haven't identified the suspect but have shared a photo and want to charge the person with mischief endangering life, because the falling cable in 2020 narrowly missed a security guard who was underneath the gondola line when the cable was cut.

Sea-to-Sky Gondolas has also doubled its reward to 500,000 dollars for information that could lead to the conviction of a person Manseau describes as extremely fit, knowledgeable about the area and familiar with tools needed to cut the thick metal cable while avoiding personal injury.

Alberta has highest measles cases per capita in North America as summer travel gets underway

The province's former chief medical officer of health Dr.Mark Joffe says that's twice the rate of confirmed cases in Ontario. Ontario has been deemed Canada's epicentre of the outbreak in absolute case numbers, reporting 1,910 confirmed infections since its outbreak began in October, but with a population three times the size as Alberta. Alberta reported yesterday that 1,230 people have been infected with the highly contagious disea

Fire sparked by RCMP trailer near Lytton, B.C., is being held and will be downgraded

A wildfire near Lytton, B.C., that ignited when a wheel fell off an RCMP trailer and prompted evacuations is now classified as "being held" and is no longer likely to spread. The BC Wildfire Service says the change is due to "significant efforts" of firefighters with the help of favourable weather, which means the Izman Creek blaze will no longer be considered a wildfire of note. Once the fire loses that classification — which designates a fire is generating particular interest, is highly visible or a threat to public safety — there will be no wildfires of note in B.C.
