Wednesday - June 4, 2025 - Fraser to recede after early snowmelt

4 days ago | fvcurrent.com | Tyler Olsen

🌤 High 22CGood morning!In high school, I did a science project on the potential existence of Sasquatch. It was one of those topics a kid selects because it seems fun and thought-provoking. I don’t recall bears playing a large role in my project though—which probably gives some idea of its depth and quality. Because this week, I discovered actual Sasquatch-science in the form of a recent study that found a correlation between Bigfoot sightings and black bear populations. You can read about it here.

☀ High 23CGood morning!How one makes journalism financially sustainable is a key question for anyone who thinks a free press is an important part of our society, democracy, and culture.

1 week ago | fvcurrent.com | Grace Kennedy

☀ High 25CGood morning!Today’s story has been a year in the making. When I was still on maternity leave, Tyler messaged and asked if I would be interested in going on a Halq'eméylem place names tour during the BC Historical Society conference. The answer, of course, was a resounding yes. Shortly after I returned to work, I stepped onto a bus, and spent four hours listening to Sonny McHalsie tell the history of the Fraser Valley like I had never heard it before.
Thursday - May 29, 2025 - New rental apartments coming to Langley

🌧 High 18CGood morning!I have lived in my current house for three springs now, and never seen the rosebush in our front garden bloom. Maybe I was pruning it wrong. Maybe it was just tired of living. But this year, for no reason I can discern, it decided to extend one long branch across the fence and burst into luxuriant blossoms. The flowers are quite pretty, even if the bush itself now looks rather ungainly. – Grace🌤 Local forecast: Langley | Chilliwack | Abbotsford | Hope🚘 Driving today?

Wednesday - May 28, 2025 - A concrete referendum

1 week ago | fvcurrent.com | Tyler Olsen

š¤ High 25CGood morning!I got my first newspaper job when I was 21, but I probably looked 15. And it can be hard getting someone to trust you with their stories when you look like you canāt be trusted with a motor vehicle. Pretty quickly, I decided that maybe a little facial hair would help me look a little more trustworthy. I grew a beard (eventuallyāit took some time), and Iāve had it ever since. Recently, I realized that my kids had never seen me without a beard.
