Looks like an inspection, recrew and evening departure with the same a/c.

Incident: Air Canada B773 at Vancouver on Oct 17th 2012, bird strike
An Air Canada Boeing 777-300, registration C-FIVR performing flight AC-7 from Vancouver,BC (Canada) to Hong Kong (China) with 368 people on board, was just rotating for takeoff from Vancouver's runway 08R when the crew observed a heron and believed it had struck the aircraft. There were no abnormal indications, the crew therefore decided to continue the flight. During the climb cabin crew however reported intermittent burning odour in the cabin. The crew thus reported smoke in the cockpit, dumped fuel and returned to Vancouver for a safe landing on runway 08R about one hour after departure.
