A 17-year old man was arrested after a stabbing outside a Surrey High School.

Background: On November 22, 2022, at approximately 12:08 p.m., the Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a stabbing outside of Tamanawis Secondary School, located in the 12600-block of 66 Avenue, Surrey. Officers arrived within minutes and located an 18-year old man suffering life-threatening injuries. Despite the best efforts of responding officers, the victim sadly succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter. As a result of the quick action of the Surrey RCMP, a 17-year old who was identified as a suspect by witnesses, was located and taken into custody. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took conduct of the investigation and continue to work closely in partnership with the Surrey RCMP, the RCMP Forensic Identification Service and the BC Coroners Service.

Investigators are identifying the victim, 18-year old Mehakpreet Sethi of Surrey, in an effort to advance their investigation.

At this time, it is believed that the suspect and the victim were known to each other and that this was an isolated incident, not believed to be associated to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.

"We know there were many students in the area around the time this tragedy took place," says Sgt. Timothy Pierotti of IHIT. "If you or one of your loved ones has information that could help shed light on why this young man was killed, please contact IHIT immediately."

Reports confirm lightning caused Jasper wildfire; Parks Canada pledges stronger prevention measures

Parks Canada has confirmed that last year’s devastating wildfire in Jasper was sparked by lightning and intensified by strong winds and exceptionally dry conditions. Two new reports released by the agency outline how the July 2024 blaze destroyed roughly one-third of the community and forced about 25,000 residents and visitors to evacuate. The studies, commissioned following the disaster, found that existing fuel reduction work — including prescribed burns — helped limit the wildfire’s spread. However, they also concluded that larger and more frequent burns could have further reduced d

Desjardins warns Ottawa’s tax cuts and tariff rollback deepening federal deficit

A new economic analysis from Desjardins suggests the federal government’s fiscal position has weakened significantly ahead of next month’s fall budget, largely due to recent income tax cuts and the removal of counter-tariffs on U.S. goods. In a report released Tuesday, Desjardins deputy chief economist Randall Bartlett said Ottawa’s deficit could climb to $74.5 billion this fiscal year — about $6 billion higher than the parliamentary budget officer’s most recent projection. Bartlett said the combination of higher spending on defence and infrastructure, along with tax relief measures
