VANCOUVER A prominent criminal defence lawyer and the director of policy for the B.C. Civil Liberties Association are raising questions about a decision by the Vancouver Police Department to release the names and pictures of alleged gang members. The VPD released the information about its “Top Six” alleged gangsters on Monday, saying the men listed could be targets for violence that could put members of the public in the crosshairs. The public warning – which was echoed Tuesday by B.C.’s integrated anti-gang police agency with its own list of 11 that included some overlap – follows an escalation in fatal gang-involved shootings across Metro Vancouver, many of them in public places.

The new health order establishes three regions Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health, Northern and Interior Health, and Island Health. It prohibits non-essential travel between them. The order also includes non-essential travellers from outside the province.
The order, under the Emergency Program Act, will remain in place until after the Victoria Day long weekend, ending May 25, said Farnworth.
“While this new legal order targets those who are travelling across regional zones for recreational purposes, the advice from [provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry] to stay local remains in place everywhere in B.C.,” Farnworth said. “Do not go to Whistler or Tofino – even on a day trip. Everyone should stay close to home.”
