Environment Canada has issued wind warnings for parts of British Columbia's Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and the southern Gulf Islands. 

The weather agency says a low pressure system is bringing strong gusts of up to 90 km/h to parts of Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island, expected to last into the morning of October 26. 

Environment Canada says it issues the warnings when there's a "significant risk" of damage from high winds, including power outages.

They are also warning of snowfall on the Coquihalla Highway between Hope and Merritt, and on a mountainous stretch of Highway 3 in the British Columbia Interior.
