A
Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) report released July 10 provides insights into a fatal plane crash that occurred on May 24, 2024, that took the lives of the pilot and passenger. The crash of the privately registered amateur-built aircraft took place about 12.5 nautical miles south-southwest of Squamish Municipal Airport- Don Patrick Field, on the west side of Howe Sound. The TSB investigates crashes like this one to advance transportation safety, not to assign blame, the agency states.

WELCOME HOME: Supporters flank Daniel Gloor, 68, after he arrived from his Halifax-to-Squamish bike ride. He rode into the ocean at Sp’akw’us Feather Park on Saturday afternoon, greeted by more than 30 friends and family members. Gloor completed the journey in 52 days, entirely self-supported, meaning he set up a tent and camped for the majority of the almost two-month-long journey.
