The footage, captured by local beachgoers, shows a large barge slowly making its way towards the shore of English Bay. This comes just weeks after a similar incident where a barge carrying construction equipment drifted towards the same beach, causing damage to the shoreline.
According to witnesses, the barge appeared to be unmanned and was being pushed by strong winds and currents. The Vancouver Police Department has confirmed that they are aware of the situation and are working with the Coast Guard to monitor the barge’s movements.

In response, the Coast Guard has stated that they are conducting a thorough investigation into the matter and will be implementing additional safety protocols to prevent similar incidents from happening.
Meanwhile, the City of Vancouver has issued a statement urging residents to stay away from the area and to report any sightings of the drifting barge to the authorities.
As the situation continues to unfold, officials are reminding the public to prioritize their safety and to follow all safety protocols when near the water.
