CHVN

A Canadian artist recently put her own spin on a popular worship song along with her own tune.

Elenee released a cover version of "Goodness of God" as well as her own song, "Sunshine and Rainbows."

She said choosing to do "Goodness of God" was an easy decision. "When you have nothing else to sing about, you can't help but sing about how God has been so good, even in some of the most tragic and grief-stricken situations in my life and in other people's lives. "Goodness of God" just seems to be this anthem of gratitude."

CHVN is turning 25, and you're getting the presents!

The party is at True North Square on September 10 from 5 to 7 p.m. and is going to feature over 100 finalists and one grand prize winner will walk away with a $10,000 prize!

Up for grabs is a $10,000 bursary from Booth University College, a living room package from Furniture Villa Brand Source, a trip to Italy from Indigeno Travel, a luxury furniture shopping spree from Luxe Furniture Company, and a home plumbing upgrade from Aloha Plumbing & Drain Service.

For all the coffee lovers out there, Tim Horton's Camp Day is back on July 16. 

Any purchase of a hot or iced coffee on this Wednesday will help send kids to camp to make lasting memories. One hundred per cent of the proceeds from these coffee purchases will go towards Camp Day, so the bigger the cup, the better. 

On top of coffee orders, Tim's is offering $2 Camp Day donuts, with the full proceeds going to help kids as well. 

For people who want to support without buying food, Tim's will be selling Camp Day donation badges and Camp Day bracelets. 

The annual pace of inflation accelerated to 1.9 per cent in June as consumers were paying more at car dealerships, Statistics Canada said Tuesday.

The June price hike is up from 1.7 per cent in May and was largely in line with economists’ expectations.

StatCan said gasoline prices were nearly unchanged in June as higher crude oil prices and geopolitical conflicts ratcheted up pressure at the pumps. Motorists saw a steeper monthly decline in prices this time last year, which the agency said led to a rise in headline inflation.
