Here's a 3-legged moose

Welcome to holiday mode for Northern Capital News. Odds are that as the news cycle slows down so will be the need to write about things so expect shorter — or possibly no — newsletter for the next couple of weeks. I hope you’re getting some downtime and I know I will be trying, myself!

You know who won’t be though? Plumbers. Here are some tips to not need one:

And with that in mind, here’s the news:

• Some people have made their way home but others are still trapped as a result of the weather problems at the Vancouver airport. If you’re among those impacted, here are your rights. At least the otters like it.

• Our cold snap is ending soon but in the meantime city crews are still dealing with broken infrastructure.

• Speaking of city infrastrcuture: The city is suing the architects who designed the new pool, saying they caused construction to be behind scheduled and over budget.

• Speaking of building things, a new building permit record has been set.

• RCMP have released dashcam footage of the hit-and-run that killed an unborn baby and injured a pregnant woman.

And finally, here is the three-legged moose, courtesy the consveration officer service. When I asked what it’s name was, I was told they try not to do that but I would like to give it a nickname, if you have any good ideas. Talk tomorrow (maybe!)
