This is Vancouver

Vancouver hosted the global tech conference Web Summit this week. Municipal affairs reporter Justin McElroy and CBC business reporter Kyle Bakx run down the event's highlights and explain what Mayor Sim meant about his use of artificial intelligence, which he clarified was strictly for personal use.

This is Vancouver takes you out to the high seas today, or at at least from Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay — a route that, at one time, could have meant rough waters. The CBC's Johanna Wagstaffe takes us inside the high-tech command centre where the call is made on when to cancel a ferry sailing due to bad weather. And then we'll hear a ferry tale of yore... before bad weather made the decision to travel for you.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has linked the murders of a 16-year-old and an 18-year-old to the ongoing gang conflict in B.C., much of which has played out in Surrey. We hear from Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke about resourcing at the Surrey Police Service. We also hear from Kal Dosanjh. He's worked in law enforcement for decades and personally knew one of the victims through his foundation, KidsPlay.

Civic elections across the province are still months away, but we're getting more of an idea of who will run for mayor in Lower Mainland cities.

To be fair, we know someone who has collected a lot of data on Vancouver renters and homeowners. And all of that information is gathered in the Homes of Tomorrow survey by Rennie Intelligence, a Vancouver-based real estate, marketing and brokerage firm. We take a deep dive into that survey with Elaina Cowley, Rennie's senior product development manager.
