Kyle Mostowy, 56, faces one count of sexual assault against the woman, who cannot be identified due to a publication ban, for incidents in 2014.

The stretch of the Alaska Highway near Fort Nelson, B.C., that closed Monday due to a nearby wildfire has reopened to single lane traffic. Drive BC announced the update in a post around 9:30 p.m., saying the status could change quickly depending on wildfire activity. The BC Wildfire Service says the blaze is about 26 square kilometres in size and is burning out of control about 10 kilometres northeast of Summit Lake.

A Greater Victoria man that a judge found had “a history of aggressive and violent conduct” has lost his court fight to have his guns returned. Robin Morton Stanbridge’s five firearms were seized by West Shore RCMP on Nov. 9, 2018, based on public-safety concerns, according to a B.C. Supreme Court decision released last week. An officer was at Stanbridge’s home that day to keep the peace during a home visit by a representative of the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

A close friend and neighbour of a 70-year-old man who died after an attack two years ago became emotional on the stand as he described finding his friend covered in blood in his room. Joey Mackenzie testified Thursday at the trial of Michael King, 44, who is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Michael Jones in his multi-unit Cook Street Village home. Jones died nine days after the March 6, 2023, attack, after being removed from life support.

A letter from B.C.’s housing minister telling North Saanich it’s not on track to meet its housing targets became contentious when council shut down any discussion of it. Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon’s May 7 letter to the district says it is at risk of not meeting the target of 60 net new units set by the province, and that the district provided “insufficient detail” in its progress report about its actions to increase housing supply.

Thank you @katiederosayyj for giving Sam’s story a platform. She deserved so much better.

“I believe change needs to happen,” @adriandix said re Providence Health's policy banning medically assisted death in its health facilities. His statement comes after my story about Sam O'Neill who was forced to transfer out of St. Paul's to receive MAID https://t.co/FIYR7LtLHs

I’m rising from the Twitter dead to say hello, I’m back at the @timescolonist! My body is (mostly) recovered from hiking approximately 1 million miles (okay, 2,650) on the PCT, but I think my heart will always be a little bit wild. What’s new on the Island? Open to story ideas! https://t.co/jtvfVtgUYv

Callout: I'm looking for groups of gal pals who are celebrating Galentines Day next week and willing to chat with me about their plans for a story in the @timescolonist ! Email is in my bio or you can send me a message :)
