The Richmond RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team are investigating after an 87-year old woman was seriously injured on Saturday afternoon.

On July 5, 2025, at 3:46 p.m., the Richmond RCMP received a report of a pedestrian-involved collision on No. 3 Road at Granville Avenue. A northbound SUV reportedly struck a pedestrian before swerving into a lamp post on the median just north of the intersection. The pedestrian was taken to hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries. The driver suffered minor physical injuries related to the crash.

The driver remained on scene and has been cooperating with the investigation. The causal factors have not yet been determined.

“The Criminal Collision Investigation Team has taken conduct of the file and will seek to determine both the cause of the crash as well as whether criminality was a factor,” said Staff Sergeant Kris Clark of the BC RCMP. “Any witnesses, or anyone with in-car video, who has yet to speak with investigators is urged to contact police immediately.”

Anyone who witnessed the crash, or has dash-cam video of the incident, is asked to contact the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file number 2025-21350.

Schools set to close as Alberta provides online curriculum ahead of teachers strike

Schools across Alberta are preparing to close their doors while the province readies a home curriculum for students ahead of Monday's provincewide teachers strike. Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides says the province has already put online a curriculum that parents can use to teach their children should the 51,000 members of the Alberta Teachers' Association make good on their promise to walk out. Nicolaides says it's not fair that students would be forced to bear the brunt of the walkout, which would affect more than 700,000 students across public, separate and francophone sch

Canada Post tables new offers to striking postal workers

Canada Post says it has sent new offers to striking postal workers. The offer includes the same 13.59 per cent compounded wage increase over four years that it presented as part of its final offer in May to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. It says that due to the Crown corporation's worsening financial situation, it can no longer offer a signing bonus. Canada Post says the new proposal includes terms to help support the transformation of the postal service that the federal government has initiated. Workers went on strike last week after the government announced the changes including endin
