Ocean Park Attack - Too Close To Home


Police investigate overnight stabbing in South Surrey

RCMP Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit (SPOSU) is investigating an overnight stabbing in the Ocean Park neighbourhood.

At approximately 12:30 am on May 22, 2025, a man approached White Rock RCMP members in the area of 140 Street and 16 Avenue, Surrey. The man stated that he had been attacked by unknown suspects nearby at 128 Street and 16 Avenue and was suffering from a serious, but non-life threatening injury to his hand. White Rock RCMP rendered medical aid and members of RCMP SPOSU attended. BCEHS attended the scene, treated the man’s injuries and transported him to hospital. 

SPOSU General Investigative Unit (GIU) members have taken conduct of the investigation. While the motive of the attack is still under investigation, it does not appear to be random.

Anyone with information about this incident or the identity of the suspects should contact the SPS non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 2025-28325 (SU) or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.

Here Come BC’s First LNG Shipments. Cause to Celebrate?

Boosters ignore that more plants are a risky play meaning higher emissions and gas costs while diverting clean electricity.

 B.C. consumers will be exposed to higher prices when there is, for example, a cold snap in Asia.

These problems get worse the more LNG production comes on stream. LNG is largely to the benefit of foreign companies, with little long-term benefit to ordinary British Columbians, including only a couple hundred permanent jobs once construction is completed.

B.C.’s good intentions on climate action are being sacrificed to double down on big fossil fuel projects, a decision that will not age well.
