Christian artist Leeland, who will be in Winnipeg later this year, has welcomed a new member to his family. 

Leeland and his wife, Mandy, welcomed their son Elliot James into the world earlier this week. 

"Welcome to the world, Elliott James, 8 lbs 15oz of pure cuteness!" said Mandy in a social media post. "Labour was the most intense, surreal yet beautiful experience. I'm so thankful to have my husband and family around us as I laboured!"

Mark 8:36

"What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?"

Psalm 139:14

The next time you pick up your little baby or grandbaby, look into the face of that marvellously made child and say, "You are fearfully and wonderfully made."

And it wouldn't hurt to repeat that statement throughout her childhood.

Children need to know how valuable they are in God's sight—and ours. Nothing gives them greater security than a strong sense of self-esteem.

Police and parks officials say one person was killed and three were injured in a rockfall at a remote hiking trail in Banff National Park.

They say the search continues to confirm no other hikers are missing following the early afternoon tragedy at Bow Glacier Falls, north of Lake Louise.

One person had been found dead and the extent of the injuries to the other three is unknown.

Two of the three injured were taken to a Calgary hospital by STARS air ambulance and the third went to hospital by ground ambulance.

New and disturbing allegations have surfaced involving former Newsboys frontman Michael Tait during a 2014 tour stop in Fargo, North Dakota.

Rescue crews, police and paramedics scrambled to a remote region of Banff National Park late Thursday amid reports that a group of hikers were hit by a rock slide, causing possible injuries and deaths.

“The initial report indicated there were multiple hikers and there may be serious injuries and/or fatalities,” RCMP Cpl. Gina Slaney said in a news release.

Parks Canada, in a statement said, it is responding to a report of "a serious rockfall incident with involvement near Bow Glacier Falls in Banff National Park."

Fire activity on the Kiskatinaw River Wildfire has continued to decrease, and the wildfire is now classified as Being Held, meaning it is not expected to spread beyond its current boundaries. As a result, the evacuation alert issued for residents north of Township Road 710 to 740, east of the British Columbia/Alberta border to Range Road 132 has been cancelled.

Ottawa is giving no sign that it intends to amend existing legislation on medical assistance in dying — something a UN committee called for earlier this spring.

The federal minister responsible for disabilities spoke at a hearing of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities last week, about two months after the committee called on Canada to repeal the 2021 law that expanded eligibility for assisted dying to those whose deaths were not reasonably foreseeable.
