Donnie Creek fire now 2nd largest ever recorded in province, total area burned in B.C. Much of the area burned so far has come about as a result of the Donnie Creek blaze, 158 kilometres north of Fort St. John in northeastern B.C. It's also not as large as the 2018 Tweedsmuir complex of fires, nor the 2017 Hanceville Riske Creek complex, which burned 3,015 and 2,412 square kilometres, respectively. The Donnie Creek wildfire is now the second largest recorded in B.C. (CBC News)The size of the Donnie Creek fire is comparable to the Capital Regional District, which covers much of the southern tip of Vancouver Island and is also close to the size of Metro Vancouver.

I’m just a country boy. “You can see me all over: ‘Papa Jake.’ I’m a legend! At every stop on his Normandy trip, “Papa Jake” was greeted by people asking for a selfie — in return, he offered up a big hug, to their greatest joy. Jake Larson was born in Owatonna, Minnesota.

A 50-50 draw that raises funds for firefighters in Nova Scotia topped $1.2 million last week. (Troy K. Stoddard - image credit)A weekly 50-50 raffle in support of Nova Scotia firefighters surpassed $1.2 million last week, as wildfires raged throughout the province. The Nova Scotia Firefighters 50-50 raffle has been operating for three years, raising funds for more than 270 volunteer departments and other firefighter organizations around the province. "We're probably going to see a large boost again this week," Wallis told CBC Radio's Information Morning Nova Scotia on Tuesday. Wallis said the weekly draw is important because raising money for volunteer departments can be difficult.

First, because obviously all of the other candidates have determined that their hopes rest entirely on attacking Chow, and attacking her on this specific point about potential tax increases. Now it seems just as likely Chow cruises to victory without the levels of support ever really changing. And that leads to my third observation about that moment, and the state of the campaign so far: Olivia Chow has succeeded thus far, to a certain extent, by avoiding being pinned down to specifics. The point here is that so far, a growing plurality of people seem to be ready to vote for Chow based on liking and trusting her. Asking the same question over and over and expecting a different response just seems, past a certain point, silly.

LONDON, Ont. - Members of the Muslim community in London, Ont., are to host a vigil today to mark the second anniversary of the worst mass killing in the city’s history.

Prosecutors allege the attack was an act of terrorism targeting London’s Muslim community. Mayor Josh Morgan, Canada’s special representative on combating Islamophobia Amira Elghawaby, and members of the Afzaal family are among those expected to speak at the vigil.

Webber was appointed this week to serve 5-year term as territory’s next commissionerAdeline Webber was in Pelly Crossing, Yukon, last week when she got a phone call.

You know, I’ve been involved with First Nation communities, but I also have been involved in the community in other roles over the years.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two games into the Stanley Cup Final, the Florida Panthers look like an 8 seed for the first time all playoffs. Florida was torched for a second consecutive game, losing 7-2 to the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday to fall into a 2-0 deficit in the best-of-seven series. Vegas’ 12 goals match the most by a team through the first two games of the Cup Final since the NHL expansion era began in 1967-68. Sergei Bobrovsky, the hottest goaltender in hockey going into the final, was pulled midway through Game 2 after allowing four goals on 13 shots to the Golden Knights. He now has more misconducts (3) than he does goals (1) in his first Stanley Cup Final appearance.
