Canada's labour minister says striking grain terminal workers in Metro Vancouver and their employers have reached a tentative labour deal.

Steven MacKinnon announced the agreement between Grain Workers Union Local 333 and the Vancouver Terminal Elevators’ Association in a post on social media platform X, but provided no other details.

The union confirmed the tentative deal in a statement on Facebook, saying its members will conduct the ratification vote by Oct. 4.

A sold-out crowd gathered at the Met in downtown Winnipeg for another memorable Pro Sports and Faith Night, where professional athletes and their spouses shared how faith has shaped their lives.

The event was held in support of Lorne Korol, the chaplain for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Jets, and Moose. Korol is a missionary with Athletes in Action, raising 100 per cent of his salary and expenses.

The evening featured three panels of athletes and spouses who opened up about their experiences with life, adversity, and faith.

Colossians 3:12-14; James 5:11

It was one of those backhanded compliments. The guy had listened to me talk during several sessions at a pastors' conference.

RCMP in Thompson are searching for a 21-year-old man following reports of gunshots at two separate locations. 

The first call came in around 7 p.m. on Saturday. Officers say they received a call of shots fired outside a home on Duke Place in Thompson, Man.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a bullet hole through a window. The lone occupant of the residence was not injured.

Witnesses let officers know they had seen a man running from the area, so police began a search for the suspect.

John 3:20-21

Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
