Vancouver Rundown Wednesday May 6, 2026

Many people are expressing outrage after a grey whale was hit by a jet ski off Siwash Rock, on the west side of Stanley Park. Video of the incident has been shared on social media - the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Vancouver Police are investigating. Regulations require watercraft to stay at least 100 metres from whales. In this case, there’s no word yet on the extent of injuries to the grey. The jet ski driver was picked up by a nearby yacht and later taken to hospital.
