Canadian scientists working on asteroid missions, exploring the universe through the James Webb Space Telescope or helping to put rovers on Mars say they can in some way thank Marc Garneau, who left an enduring legacy both as an astronaut and head of the country's space agency.

While best-known in later years as a federal cabinet minister, Garneau, who died this week at 76, was also a Navy officer, a systems engineer, and an astronaut with a lifelong passion for science, according to his friends and colleagues.

Prairie wildfires developed on two fronts Friday, as 1,000 more Manitoba residents were forced to flee their homes and Saskatchewan RCMP charged two people with starting blazes.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe told a news conference that one charge relates to starting a fire near La Ronge, which has forced 7,000 people from the area.

“The RCMP have informed us that they have now charged a couple of individuals,” Moe said.

An 18-year-old woman from Montreal Lake Cree Nation and a 36-year-old man from Pelican Narrows each face one count of arson, said RCMP.

Five new animals have made their home at the Assiniboine Park Zoo this week. 

On Thursday, a new pack of five grey wolves came from the Greater Vancouver Zoo after the passing of Bear, in March, who was the last member of the Zoo's original wolf pack. 

The new wolves include a seven-year-old male, Chinook. Gigi, a seven-year-old female. Comet, a three-year-old male. Stella and Virgo, both three-year-old females. They are all adjusting and settling into the expansive wolf habitat in the Grasslands and Boreal Forest section of the Zoo.

Psalm 90:2,4

Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

AND

A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.

Colossians 1:9-10

Have you ever been in an area of the country where there was a lot of fruit ripening in the sun?

Maybe on some cool September morning you've taken a walk through the apple orchards of the Hood River valley or along the Columbia River in Oregon. It is pleasing to the eye to see such an abundance of sweet, delicious fruit hanging on branch or vine, ready to be plucked.
