The Penticton Branch 40 Legion president recently suffered an attack by four men he didn't stand a fighting chance against, and that he believes to be a sad sign of the times. 

It is believed someone intentionally set the fire inside the Walmart on Grandview Highway and Boundary Road just before 10 a.m. on Saturday.

'It's definitely nerve-wracking , decentering and also heartening there's been so many folks reaching out to provide support,' Slocan Mayor Jessica Lunn told Global News.

The motorcyclist appears to have been travelling south on Highway 3A when he failed to navigate a corner and travelled left, off the highway.

Merritt RCMP said the plane crash, about two kilometres north of the Merritt Airport, east of Highway 5A, was reported at about 7 p.m. on Sunday.

The incident commander in charge of the fight to control six wildfires in British Columbia's Slocan Lake region says changing weather conditions in the area pose a challenge.

A high-resolution map released Saturday showed the extent of the damage to the Jasper townsite, with more than 300 buildings completely destroyed.

The evacuation order impacts the village of Slocan, B.C., as well as more than 400 properties in the areas surrounding the community, which is about 370 km east of Kelowna.

‘The water was fast-running and was filling up their vehicle,’ said RCMP. ‘Both Mark and Janet Brimicombe had injuries and the situation was precarious.’

As of Saturday morning, there are 101 wildfires in the Southeast Fire Centre, with 77 of them listed as out of control.

The Dogtooth Forest Service Road fire is listed as one of five wildfires of note burning in the province.

As Jasper battles a wildfire and Canada stares at a year of above-normal wildfire activity, many in the tourism industry are asking if it’s worth it.
