  • Bright Nights Train cancelled

Vancouver's parks board says its popular Bright Nights Stanley Park Train will not return for the rest of the holiday season.

It says in a news release that operations were stopped last week after exhaust from one of the train’s locomotives caused a driver to get sick. 

The board says staff have been working to find a solution but safety is paramount.

It says staff will be reaching out to people who booked reservations to inform them of the cancellation and issue refunds.

After record-breaking warmth, winter to 'salvage its reputation': Weather Network
Canada's warmest winter on record is unlikely to make a repeat performance this year, The Weather Network's chief meteorologist says, as a new seasonal forecast suggests the season will try to "salvage its reputation." Chris Scott says the forecast suggests this winter will be generally colder and more impactful than last year, which saw the warmest winter on record — but it still won't be a "start to finish blockbuster" for any of Canada's regions.
