Today is the day to remember the sacrifices made by Indigenous veterans in Canada.

Indigenous Veterans Day is celebrated this year on Nov. 8 in recognition of Indigenous people who have fought for the freedom of Canada through military service.

Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) remembers the long and proud history of service by First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Canadians.

A fire late Thursday afternoon in River Park South sent one person to hospital with serious injuries. 

The fire broke out just after 4:30 p.m. in a three-storey residential building in the 100 block of Regis Drive. 

Smoke was pouring out of the building when crews arrived at the scene. Firefighters began battling the fire from within the building, declaring it under control 20 minutes later. 

Residents were able to safely self-evacuate before crews arrived. However, one person was transported to hospital in unstable condition.

A veteran Ottawa Citizen journalist who was accused by a former cabinet minister of being a Russian asset said it is the "height of irony" that a parliamentary committee studying disinformation has fallen for it. 

David Pugliese told the House of Commons security committee on Thursday he found it astonishing that none of the MPs challenged the allegations when they were made last month. 

Christian artist Brandon Lake is releasing a new single with soulful lyrics and a bit of rock, called "Hard Fought Hallelujah."

Earlier this year in July Lake released the single "That's Who I Praise," which has been well-received by fans. This new song is also a single with no talk on when a new album may be released. 

Lake won three GMA Dove Awards in October for his 2023 album Coat of Many Colors. 

A 47-year-old man is dead following a serious assault in St. James late Thursday evening. 

At around 10 p.m. on Nov. 7, the Winnipeg Police Service was called to a bus shack in front the Airport Motor Inn near the intersection of Ellice Avenue and Berry Street, where they found a man who had been stabbed.

Officers provided the victim with emergency medical attention until paramedics arrived. He was transported to hospital in critical condition, and pronounced dead a short time later. 

As Christmas approaches, there's no better way to get into the holiday spirit than with a night of worship and beloved carols.

Remembrance Day is a day when people around honour those who sacrifice to give freedom.

The day carries a lot of significance and Gregory Lutz, one of the unit-based chaplains at 17 Wing Winnipeg says, "One of my former units was based out of Windsor, ON. They were one of the units that did the Dieppe raid. I think there was about 90 per cent of the unit did not return that day."

Joshua 24:15

But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.

Philippians 4

Laurence J. Peter and I are close friends. Although I've never laid eyes on him, I've smiled at his comments and nodded at his conclusions...amazed at his remarkable insight into my own life and those around me. 

The simple answer to the riddle is this: I own a copy of his book The Peter Prescription, and you should too! It's an insignificant looking paperback filled with significant, sound principles. He says it talks about "How to Be Creative, Confident, and Competent," but I think he overlooked a better word: how to be Content.
