VANCOUVER – Two people have been attacked after leaving a Bruno Mars show at BC Place Stadium, in the second violent incident after a major concert in Vancouver this year.
Vancouver police say the pair from Calgary were attacked near the Gastown neighbourhood at about 11 p.m. Wednesday as they walked from the concert.
Police say the male victim was repeatedly hit with a sharp object that may have been glass, cutting his left forearm, while the female victim was pushed into a light pole.
Officers arrested a 34-year-old man who had two outstanding warrants, and he has been charged with assault, assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon.
The male victim was treated at the scene by paramedics while police say the suspect is in custody awaiting a bail hearing.
The attack comes after an AC/DC fan was attacked and seriously injured after the band’s concert at BC Place on Aug. 13, when he was punched in the face from behind, causing him to fall and strike his head on the pavement.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 22, 2026.

Ottawa earmarks additional $60M for national sport organizations

Another chunk of cash earmarked to increase participation in sport and develop homegrown athletic talent is being wired across the country.
On Thursday, the federal government announced an additional $60 million in financial backing for national sport organizations (NSOs).
Some extra wiggle room on mid fiscal-year budgets was not expected by Canada’s 63 NSOs, which were slated to receive a combined $112 million in core Sport Support Program (SSP) funding, and will now see north of $150 million in total.
“Sport has the power to shape lives and bring people together in a way few things can. Today’s announcement reflects a new era for sport in Canada, one where more kids have the opportunity to get out and play, and Team Canada athletes have the support they need to compete and win,” Secretary of State for Sport Adam van Koeverden said in a statement.

A Brandon man is taking a fellow hockey player and two sport organizations to court after he was seriously injured on the ice, alleging it caused him hardship and lost income.
In 2024, Devon Leblanc played for the Virden Oil Kings, a senior amateur team in the Tiger Hills Hockey League, which is a member of the Hockey Manitoba association.
Leblanc’s age is not made clear in the court filing, but an online roster suggests he’s 38.
Leblanc alleges Bryce Enns, a member of the Killarney Shamrocks, bodychecked and assaulted him during a game between the two teams on Nov. 28, 2024.

Henderson crosswalk has glaring safety gap, say researchers months after pedestrian killed

Six months after a fatal collision at a crosswalk on Henderson Highway, two traffic safety researchers question why the intersection remains an outlier that is missing key flashing lights.
The City of Winnipeg is being urged to install “backflashers” to better protect road users moving in all directions at the intersection where a 32-year-old father died in the spring.
“It’s these little, mundane, non-sexy engineering problems that can cause everything right up to fatality,” said Curt Pankratz, an associate professor at the University of Winnipeg who studies traffic engineering and policymaking.
On April 19, shortly before sunrise, Gabe Beardy was struck when he was crossing the six-lane thoroughfare at Neil Avenue.

Jets out of tune against Blues

ST. LOUIS – The issue is no longer limited to secondary scoring for the Winnipeg Jets.
Although they continue to be far too reliant on the top line for production, the Jets have suddenly been limited to not enough goals in a more general sense.
The latest example was a 2-1 loss Tuesday to the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center.
The Jets battled hard in this Central Division duel, but they’ve scored 24 goals in nine games (2.67 goals per game) and have one victory during the past five games after a 3-0-1 start. One of those losses did come in overtime (1-3-1).
