I'm in Steveston right now connecting with the local community to try and find more details about this incident.
Historically, it was a small fishing village in Richmond with a big Japanese Canadian population.
Its character has changed over the years to become more of a tourist hub, but it has retained its roots as a place for fishing and harbourside activities.
I've spoken to several fishers and local businesses in the area. I've knocked on the doors of local whale watching companies. I've gone to coffee shops and asked around.
So far, people expressed dismay and shock about the situation but don't know exactly what happened.
Six people are believed to be missing in the water off B.C.'s coast, after the charter boat they were on sank on Sunday.
RCMP say they believe 10 people were on board. Four were rescued after two people out on their sailboat noticed five people in the water.
The pair on the sailboat called in a mayday and said they were able to get three of the five people onto a dinghy.
The search for the remaining six people was suspended last night, according to the Victoria Joint Rescue Coordination Centre. The search-and-rescue centre said the RCMP has taken the lead on the situation, but B.C. RCMP has not responded to requests for an update.
