Police say 43-year-old Sgt. Matthew Ball, and 40-year-old Const. Ryan Johnston formed separate "intimate" and "inappropriate" relationships with a woman in her mid-20s who they met while on duty, and it does not appear that the two officers acted together.
Surrey has launched an artificial intelligence chatbot designed to improve response to the public about renovating, building and development in the city. The city says the Development Inquiry Assistant was launched after a pilot version was released earlier in the year in April.

British Columbia's forecasted record deficit for this fiscal year has grown by another $429 million, reaching $9.4 billion. The province unveiled the latest quarterly update, the first under new Finance Minister Brenda Bailey, showing B.C.'s debt level to reach $130 billion by the fiscal year's end, which is $1.4 billion higher than September's projections.
