Evacuation orders issued for nearly 400 properties on Vancouver Island due to wildfire
Nearly 400 properties and a provincial park on the east coast of Vancouver Island have been placed under an evacuation order due to a wildfire burning out of control.
The Regional District of Nanaimo expanded it's evacuation order in response to the fire on the north banks of Cameron Lake, about 60 kilometres northwest of the port city of Nanaimo, which is about 100 kilometres northwest of Victoria and home to about 120,000.
The Wesley Ridge wildfire has now grown to an estimated size of 373 hectares, according to the B.C. Wildfire Service (BCWS) and is among nearly 150 wildfires burning around the province. It is suspected to have been caused by human activity.

'She wanted them in the world': N.B. community maintains book shed after owner's death
Anneke Deichmann Gichuru, who passed away in February, left behind a unique legacy on Grand Manan in the form of a small, unassuming shed near the ferry in Pettes Cove, New Brunswick. The shed, marked only by a "free books" sign, contains hundreds of eclectic books ranging from political memoirs to school texts and literary journals. Neighbour Ben Abramson describes the collection as a "treasure hunt," while local resident Theresa Smith-Linton was inspired to help maintain the space after noticing the sign and appreciating the generosity behind it.

Thousands bike, swim and run through Ottawa for Ironman triathlon
Thousands of triathletes ran, cycled and swam across Ottawa Sunday as the city played host to the Ironman Canada-Ottawa competition for the first time.
About 3,000 athletes registered for the race, which began with a 3.8-kilometre swim in the Ottawa River near Britannia Beach, followed by a 180-kilometre bike ride along the city's parkways and a 42.2-kilometre run through the downtown core. Athletes had to battle not just the race course and their own bodies but also the conditions, as Ottawa was under an air quality advisory due to widespread smoke from wildfires. The event is set to be back in Ottawa again in 2026.

After a decade of death, Canadian scientists say they've found the sea star killer
Scientists have identified Vibrio pectinicida, a bacterium in the same family as cholera, as the cause of a disease that turns 24-armed sea stars into goo. The discovery, led by Melanie Prentice of the Hakai Institute and published in Nature Ecology and Evolution, marks a major breakthrough after a decade of sea star decline and is seen as a crucial step toward recovery for the species and their role in combating climate change.

McGill faculty challenge Quebec's Bill 89, arguing it violates constitutional right to strike
Four McGill University faculty associations representing over 500 academics have filed a court challenge against Quebec's Bill 89, arguing it violates the constitutional right to strike. Passed in May and set to take effect in November, the law gives the labour minister broad authority to restrict strikes that may harm the public and mandates minimum service levels during labour disputes. Critics, including law professor Evan Fox-Decent and labour expert Barry Eidlin, say the bill undermines constitutional protections and threatens both academic independence and the foundations of collective bargaining in Quebec.
