Vancouver's $900 Million Convention Centre Flooded by Broken Pipe
CBC News. April 27, 2009.
A water leak at Vancouver's new convention centre has flooded two levels of the mammoth building, damaging the flooring and forcing 1,000 delegates of a Public Service Alliance of Canada convention out onto the street.
The Vancouver Convention Centre was opened earlier this month at a cost of nearly $900 million, and is slated to be the main international press centre and broadcast facility during the upcoming 2010 Winter Games in February.

BC's Shame: Child Poverty in British Columbia
Our province has the highest child poverty rate in Canada[for 5 years in a row, going for a 6th, with close to 200,000, or over 20% of kids living in poverty - Ed.]. It's a damning statistic that advocates are calling 'B.C.'s Shame.'
