A chapel in YMCA Camp Greenville in Cleveland, South Carolina is in awe after their building sustained significant damage in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. However, a wooden cross at the front of the church remained standing. 

"Unfortunately, it's pretty devastating on top of the mountain," said the director of operations for YMCA Camp Greenville in a post on Facebook. "We have thousands of trees down and lots of damage to power lines and buildings. Our staff are all safe and well, but there is a lot of work ahead of us."

As the Change Happens Radiothon unfolds, stories of transformation from individuals who have found refuge and support at Siloam Mission continue to resonate.

One such story is that of Alma, whose journey from instability to hope highlights the essential services provided by this local organization.

A 36-year-old Winnipeg man is recovering after being seriously assaulted Sunday evening. 

Winnipeg police were called to the area of St. Mary's Road and Vivian Street just before 9 p.m. where they found a man suffering from a stab wound. 

He was rushed to hospital in unstable condition and later upgraded to stable. 

Federal political parties appear to be locked in a game of chicken in an increasingly precarious Parliament over a debate that has stalled almost all business in the House of Commons.

The Conservatives have vowed the debate will continue until the Liberals hand over unredacted documents to the RCMP about a green-tech foundation that was found to have misspent government money.

The debate has now stretched into its second week.

A strike that would have seen hundreds of health-care support workers hit the picket line Tuesday morning, has been postponed.

Just before 4:30 a.m., the CUPE and MGEU bargaining teams reached a tentative agreement which they say will see significant improvements, therefore postponing the strike.

The unions say they will contact union members with details of the agreement and when they can vote. 

A newly released document shows federal cabinet ministers were warned in May 2022 that hostile states were targeting Canada's strategic interests, the integrity of Canadian institutions and democratic processes, and the ability of the public to exercise Charter-protected rights and freedoms.

The document is a summary of one of four memorandums to cabinet, generally considered closely held confidences, that were provided to a federal commission of inquiry into foreign interference as part of its terms of reference.
