Boats Grounded in False Creek After Windstorm

A windstorm in Vancouver’s False Creek caused significant disruption early Wednesday, with gusts exceeding 100 km/h leading to power outages and fallen trees across the region. At least 10 boats ran aground near Heather Marina, prompting calls for government action to address the issue of derelict vessels in the area. Residents criticized abandoned boats and stressed the need for greater regulation, including appointing a harbour master. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the Canadian Coast Guard worked to assist stranded boats without visible pollution detected.
