👉Residents near Toronto’s Barbara Hall Park, located in the Church-Wellesley neighborhood, are urging the city to address escalating safety issues in the area. Known for its splash pad, off-leash dog area, and AIDS memorial, the park has faced increasing problems with drug use, violence, and unsanitary conditions. An analysis of Toronto Police Service data reveals 1,831 calls for service between January 2019 and April 2024, averaging almost one call per day. Daniel Perozzo, a nearby resident, notes the park quickly deteriorates after city clean-ups. The police calls were documented through a freedom of information request by a Toronto resident.✅ .

👉Critics are urging Canada to require police certificates from international students before granting entry, highlighting the absence of mandatory criminal background checks from their home countries. Unlike applicants for permanent residency or work visas, students do not need to provide police records. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) claims comprehensive security screenings are in place, collaborating with law enforcement like the RCMP. These screenings may include criminal history checks and biometric data collection, but critics believe more robust measures are necessary to ensure national security.✅ .

👉Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek urged residents to continue conserving water despite progress in repairs. For three weeks, the city has been under water restrictions, and although crews have repaired and started filling the feeder main, full restoration is not yet complete. Gondek highlighted the concerning trend of rising water consumption, which reached 473 million litres on Wednesday, close to the critical threshold of 480 million litres needed for essential services. She emphasized the importance of continued conservation to avoid overstressing the system as it returns to service, with ongoing efforts at the Bearspaw facility to restore the treated water supply.✅ .

👉Calgary is under a mandatory water advisory following a major water main break on Wednesday, severely impacting the city's water supply. Alberta Emergency Alert notified residents to limit water use, including avoiding showers, baths, and dishwashing. The city issued its own advisory early Thursday, with no estimated duration for the boil water advisory and restrictions. The Calgary Emergency Management Agency is working continuously to repair the "large and complicated" break. Mayor Jyoti Gondek thanked residents for their cooperation. A Stage 4 outdoor water ban is in effect, with fines starting at $3,000 for violations. Residents are urged to reduce water consumption immediately.✅ .

👉Barrie is expanding its speed enforcement camera program, adding two new cameras to enhance safety in school zones. Despite controversy and opposition, the council, led by Mayor Alex Nuttall, approved the expansion. Councillor Gary Harvey, initially opposed, pushed for additional signage to alert drivers of the cameras, addressing concerns from retirees who received multiple fines. Deputy Mayor Robert Thomson supported the expansion, emphasizing behavior change over repeated ticketing. Harvey also suggested investigating poly bollards as a further deterrent to speeding.✅ .

👉The federal government has approved British Columbia’s request to recriminalize hard drugs in public spaces, responding to concerns over public drug use. Mental Health and Addictions Minister Ya’ara Saks announced the decision on Parliament Hill, stating that it would be effective immediately. B.C. had been running a three-year pilot project to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of certain illicit drugs, but safety concerns led to the request for the project's early termination. Despite this, exemptions in the Criminal Code for personal drug use will still apply in private residences, certain health-care clinics, shelters, and overdose prevention sites, ensuring that those in need can seek help without fear of arrest.✅ .

👉Hydro-Québec is racing to restore power after a spring storm laden with heavy, wet snow swept through Quebec, affecting around 600,000 customers since Wednesday. Strong winds and snow-laden tree branches striking power lines caused widespread outages, predominantly in the Laurentians, Montreal, and the Montérégie region. Approximately 1,200 Hydro-Québec employees are deployed to expedite restoration efforts. Meanwhile, school closures were enforced due to a combination of snow and power outages. The storm, resulting from a convergence of weather systems, prompted Environment and Climate Change Canada to issue snowfall warnings. Efforts to clear roads are underway, but motorists are advised to use public transit or stay home as conditions may remain hazardous.✅ .
