On July 24, Environment Canada issued a tornado warning for the area around Lachute, Que., northwest of Montreal, urging people to take shelter.

After landing back in Toronto, Summer McIntosh says she would return to Paris if selected as Canada's flag bearer for the closing ceremony.

The Toronto teenager who won four medals at the Paris Games, including three golds and a silver, says it would be "an honour" to carry the flag for Canada. 

McIntosh says that having returned home, she wants to take a break from swimming and plans to relax at her cottage with friends before likely coming back to Toronto to do some shopping. 

But she is not ruling out a quick turnaround to Paris.

Learning to drive can be fun and overwhelming. As a new driver there’s lots to keep in mind while navigating the roadways. Young and new drivers are more likely to be involved in fatal and injury collisions due to their age and inexperience; drivers under age 25 are more often involved in fatal collisions than any other age group (Transport Canada). Thankfully, over the past decade young and new drivers have become less involved in fatal and injury collisions.
