All criminal and civil jury trials scheduled between June 12 and July 8, 2026, will be rescheduled in Vancouver, New Westminster, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack due to the expected strain the FIFA World Cup will place on police resources and public safety. Chief Justice Ron Skolrood said limited police availability will impact court operations like transporting accused individuals, jury management, and security. Premier David Eby acknowledged the disruption but said the event offers major economic benefits, similar to the 2010 Olympics. BC Place will host seven matches, with more trial rescheduling details expected by July 31, 2025.🧑‍⚖️⚽️
