Oliver Fire Department responded at 2:37 a.m. Saturday to a fire in the Pineridge Drive area where two RVs were fully engulfed and the fire was spreading in brush. Fifteen firefighters with seven apparatus worked for over two hours, with support from RCMP, BCEHS, and BC Wildfire Service. The road was closed during the response but has since reopened. The cause is under investigation.

The article lists five vanlife behaviors that cause conflicts with local residents in tourist regions. These include camping in prohibited areas, dumping gray and black water in inappropriate places, running the engine or generator all night, occupying spaces not intended for camping, and sharing exact coordinates of quiet spots on social media. Repeated hundreds of times each summer, these actions lead to access closures and strained relations with year-round residents.

The rebuilt campground at By-Mac Park opened on August 24, 2026, in Houston, British Columbia. The site now features 24 RV sites with electrical and water hookups, a wash house, and a new boat launch. The project, costing approximately $2 million, aims to boost tourism and diversify the local economy following the closure of Canfor's sawmill, which resulted in a loss of $1.2 million in annual tax revenue.

Organizers say Salt Spring's first purpose-built permanent recreational vehicle (RV) community is coming to Beddis Road, with plans for as many as 50 pads. The project, which could be completed in 12 months, would be the first of its kind in British Columbia, offering year-round affordable housing. Rents are projected at $850–900 per month, and Lookout Housing and Health Society will operate the property.

On Aug. 25, the Department of Finance Canada published the full list of products subject to retaliatory tariffs, effective Sept. 8 (874 tariff items). The tariffs, at rates of 15%, 25% or 50%, mirror U.S. Section 338 tariffs and cover $27.6 billion in U.S. imports. Finished RVs, motorhomes and trailers are not on the list, but steel, aluminum, wood, furniture and other components are subject to duties.
