BURNABY — An Alberta man has been charged in connection with arson at a Metro Vancouver hospital six years ago.
RCMP in Burnaby, B.C., say the 29-year-old man was living in the area at the time when fire broke out at Burnaby Hospital on Nov. 15, 2020.
The fire caused extensive damage and triggered a multi-year investigation across several jurisdictions, including RCMP in Strathcona County, Alberta.
The man was charged last week with one count of arson with disregard for human life.
