1 week ago | fvcurrent.com | Tyler Olsen

š¦ High 18CGood morning!There is a reason the military uses a 24-hour clock. Every day, we schedule the next morningās story to be published at 5:45am.

Sorry for the confusion!Iām off on vacation for more than a week now, so Grace is on her own. Go easy on her! ā TylerKeep local journalism alive by supporting The Current.

Tuesday - May 6, 2025 - Abbotsford posts $66 million surplus

1 week ago | fvcurrent.com | Tyler Olsen

☀ High 25CGood morning!I need some help, and what’s the point in running a newsletter if I can’t draw on all of your collective knowledge to remedy an age-old family problem? Here’s the issue: I obviously don’t know how to catch a trout from a dock. I assume it can be done. The other day I was standing on a dock with the sign “fishing dock.” My kids had fishing rods in their hands. Fish were jumping nearby. But I knew we wouldn’t catch anything because I’ve never caught anything from land.
Monday - May 5, 2025 - Proposed Abbotsford high-rise goes to council

š§ High #CGood morning!There are lilacs outside of my front door. They smell tremendous this time of year. Theyāre also a continual reminder of what brought my family to BC in the first place. My dad grew up in Alberta farm country south of Calgary. As the story goes, his older brother tried farm work, but fled to the BC Interior because his sinuses just couldnāt take all the pollen. His allergies were that bad. My dad eventually followed in his footsteps.

Friday - May 2, 2025 - Abbotsford wants ideas for new park

1 week ago | fvcurrent.com | Tyler Olsen

☀ High 21CGood morning!At my elementary school, we had a variety of questionable pieces of playground equipment. The Rollie Pollie Ollie was one: so named by myself and my friend Rylie, it featured a spinning roller and was essentially practice for if we ever wanted to become log drivers. But no piece of equipment was as dangerous as the innocuously named “Metal Slide.”As the name suggests, it was solid metal. It scorched through jeans on sunny days.
After losses, Fraser Valley candidates process election results

1 week ago | fvcurrent.com | Tyler Olsen

Election candidates Kevin Gillies, Teri Westerby, Brad Vis all had to promise defeat of one sort or another. đ· Tyler Olsen; Teri Westerby/Facebook; Brad Vis/Facebook The Liberals are in power. The Conservatives are in opposition. The NDP have the balance of power. And Fraser Valley residents are represented by uniformly Conservative members of Parliament. For an election many touted as the most important in a generation, not much has actually changed on the surface.

Conservatives win Fraser Valley seats, but Liberals hold on to power

2 weeks ago | fvcurrent.com | Tyler Olsen

In an echo of the provincial election last fall, the Fraser Valley elected a wave of Conservative candidates Monday while watching the rest of the country tilt in the opposite direction. Conservatives were elected in all five Fraser Valley ridings, with Independent Mike de Jong and Liberal returnee John Aldag losing high-profile races in Abbotsford and Langley, respectively. The Conservatives look set to sit in opposition, but the Liberals may face their own challenges.
