The province-wide initiative is an opportunity to shine a light on the gender gap in health research and to celebrate the researchers and care providers working to improve health outcomes for girls, women and gender-diverse people across B.C.
According to the BC Women’s Health Foundation—which advocated for Women’s Health Research Month— only seven per cent of national health research funding is directed to women’s health research.
By increasing awareness of the need for more research into women’s health issues, it’s hoped that more dedicated research funding will follow.
The proclamation for Women’s Health Research Month acknowledges that girls, women and gender-diverse people, including two-spirit, trans and non-binary people have specific health needs and are under-represented in research.
The Department of Evaluation and Research Services at Fraser Health is
dedicated to equitable research, with equity, diversity and inclusion as central themes in research. Approximately 40 per cent of all principal investigators are women and 107 of 278 active studies at Fraser Health are led by women.
“I’m incredibly proud to be a researcher myself and recognize the women researchers at Fraser Health whose work is helping close research gaps
and strengthen care across our communities,” says Kate Keetch, director, Evaluation and Research Services, Fraser Health.
Examples of women’s health research in our region:
Nurse Practitioner (NP) Hannah Varto, along with colleagues NP Shona Phillips, NP Holly McDonald, NP Jennifer Bellefontaine, NP Djari Diallo-Nelson and Registered Nurse Kara Delnea are
collaborating with UBC on a research study aimed at characterizing the incidence of brain injury resulting from interpersonal violence among clients at Embrace Clinic.
Dr. Lynn Farrales is evaluating Canada’s first multidisciplinary, community-based maternity care model, designed to improve outcomes for underserved populations and newcomers to Canada.
Dr. Kirsten Niles is comparing longread whole genome sequencing with current standard testing to improve diagnosis, patient experience and costeffectiveness for serious genetic conditions in infants and during pregnancy. She is also the co-primary investigator on a study examining the longer-term cost consequences of caesarean delivery in Canada.
Dr. Fariba Mohtashami is the Fraser Health lead in a Canadian randomized controlled trial assessing a new vaginal surgical technique to correct pelvic organ prolapse in women.

Independent Poll Shows Peter Milobar is in the Lead - Total Ranked Ballot Support
Independent pollster Mainstreet Research has released a new poll of 2,578 British Columbia residents who are either BC Conservative members or likely to join, and it delivers a tight yet decisive message. If the vote happened today, Peter Milobar would emerge as the next leader of the BC Conservatives, edging out Caroline Elliott 50.5% to 49.5% in the final round.
While Milobar trails slightly in round one by 0.4%, he surges where it counts, leading in the second round by 0.7% over Iain Black and 1.9% over El -
liott. When going round by round, the overall picture is clear. Milobar is the candidate who consolidates support when it matters most, positioning him to take on a David Eby government.
This reinforces Mainstreet’s March 16th poll, which showed Milobar as the only candidate capable of delivering a majority government, projecting 53 seats for the BC Conservatives versus 38 for the BC NDP. By contrast, every other leadership contender was stuck in narrow 46 to 45 minority territory.
The poll also underscores Milobar’s strength across the party. Just 5.7% of voters say they would not consider voting for him, far lower than Elliott at
13.7%, Kerry Lynne Findlay at 11.7%, and Yuri Fulmer at 11.1%.
This poll sends a clear signal, Milobar isn’t just competitive, he’s the consensus-building candidate, and the one best positioned to lead BC Conservatives to victory.
Methodology: The analysis in this report is based on a survey conducted March 19–22, 2026, among a sample of 2,578 adults who are either currently registered members of the BC Conservative Party, or indicated an intention to sign up. Results were weighted by region using a riding-points system assigning 100 points per riding across all 93 BC Conservative ridings grouped
into six geographic regions. An additional household-size weight (inverse of number of adults per household) corrects for over-representation of multi-adult households. The margin of error is ±1.93 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. Margins of error are higher within subsamples.
For more questions or one-on-one interviews with Peter, please reach out to the contact below. Milobar will also be holding media availabilities at his events today in Delta and Richmond and will be available for one-on-one interviews. More information can be found at: petermilobar.ca/events
InBC Investment Corp. (InBC) and the University of British Columbia (UBC) are partnering to create the UBC Catalyst Ventures Fund, which will create new high-quality jobs by accelerating the growth of innovative B.C. companies built on UBC research and discoveries.
“Some of the most impactful businesses in North America have begun at UBC,” said Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Jobs and Economic Growth. “Access to capital is as competitive as ever, and it’s vital that we find new ways to support these innovative companies to grow, create jobs and stay right here at home in B.C. UBC and InBC’s initiative, representing one of the largest government investments of its kind in Canada, works in parallel with our Look West strategy, supporting a stronger, more resilient and more diverse economy that everyone in B.C. will benefit from.”
The fund is supported by $10 million from InBC and $10 million from UBC. An additional $20 million from private-sector investors is potentially being raised through the fund. The focus of the fund’s resources will be going toward investing in spinoff companies created from licensed UBC research discoveries and other eligible companies established by UBC faculty, staff, students and recent alumni.
“British Columbia is home to worldclass research and development, and this fund will accelerate the growth of university-related innovations,” said Thomas Park, chief investment officer, InBC. “We are proud to partner with UBC, one of Canada’s largest research-intensive universities. This partnership aligns with our goal to attract more capital to B.C. and scale more businesses, anchoring them here to generate economic and jobs growth in the province.”
The new fund will help turn worldleading ideas into new products, services and treatments that deliver economic, social and environmental benefits for people in B.C., including job opportunities as companies grow.
UBC has long been a global leader in research breakthroughs, talent development and commercialization success. The fund will build on that legacy, with initial focus on life sciences and deep tech.
By supporting commercialization and growth in these sectors, the funding directly advances key Look West goals, including:
boosting life sciences’ economic impact by 75% and doubling employment to 40,000
growing the economic value of tech sectors by 75% and doubling employment to 400,000
“As co-lead investors, UBC and InBC are working together toward this unique academic public-private partnership to anchor and grow companies in B.C. and further the impact of UBC’s research and innovation in the province, across Canada and beyond,” said Benoit-Antoine Bacon, president and vice-chancellor, UBC. “One of UBC’s strategic goals is to partner for purpose to generate economic and social impact, and this partnership is a perfect example of what we can do by working together.”
Discoveries by UBC researchers have formed the basis of more than 280 spinoff companies and licensed discoveries have led to products, services and treatments that have generated an estimated $13 billion in sales across multiple sectors. These companies are major contributors to job creation in B.C.’s innovation economy.
Prominent examples of UBC spinoff companies include:
AbCellera, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing first-in-class antibodybased medicines in endocrinology, women’s health, immunology, oncology, and more
Xenon Pharmaceuticals, a company at the forefront of neuroscience innovation, including developing new medicines for people with epilepsy
Aspect Biosystems, a biotech company pioneering a novel category of regenerative medicine to transform the treatment of disease
“Since spinning out from UBC and leaving campus in 2017, Aspect Biosystems has grown to a team of over 130, raised more than US$350 million, and developed an industry-leading tissue therapeutic platform,” said Tamer Mohamed, founder and CEO, Aspect Biosystems. “We are deeply committed to continuing to grow here in B.C., and it's fantastic to see this new fund from InBC and UBC that will help more companies like Aspect scale and innovate here at home.”
The establishment of the fund supports the Province’s Look West strategy, which outlines B.C.’s vision to deliver jobs and opportunities by strengthening the workforce to develop a more independent economy. This includes delivering major projects quicker, diversifying markets and growing targeted sectors, such as technology, aerospace, marine, AI and quantum, life sciences, agriculture and construction innovation.

Organizations throughout the province will benefit from capital projects grants through Community Gaming Grants, which help ensure British Columbians have access to programs and services that improve their quality of life, support local needs and build vibrant communities.
“We are investing in community organizations that make a real difference in people’s lives,” said Anne Kang, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. “These Community Gaming Grants will help non-profits make a variety of capital costs, such as upgrading infrastructure, investing in technology services and improving transportation. With this support, we are helping non-profits provide services that promote strong and vibrant communities right across B.C.”
The Community Gaming Grants program is divided into three streams: program grants, capital projects grants and PAC/ DPAC grants. In 2025-26, 39 nonprofit organizations received a total of $5,188,471 in capital projects grants to support upgrades to community infrastructure, updated technology and new equip-
ment. Organizations used the funding to support a number of projects, including:
- replacing outdated heating, plumbing or ventilation systems
- upgrading digital infrastructure to increase data privacy
- building renovations to improve accessibility
- purchasing new computers to better serve staff and patrons
- Capital funding expands community access
Grants for capital projects will ensure that non-profit organizations are able to keep up with infrastructure costs and continue to provide programming that benefits and enriches local communities.
Some of the grant recipients this year include:
$250,000 to Surrey United Soccer Club for its Cloverdale Sports Centre Project
The project will create an inclusive, accessible multi-sport hub and year-round
venue for the Surrey United Soccer Club and the broader community.
$194,500 to Child Development Centre Society of Fort St. John and District to upgrade its facility
Facility upgrades will help the society continue to provide accessible respite and skills programming to children and youth with significant support needs.
$27,851 to the Project Literacy Central Okanagan Society to expand its operation and move to new offices
New offices will include individual lesson rooms and upgraded computers for staff so they can continue to provide literacy support to the region for years to come.
“Provincial and local government support ensures we can collectively provide young people with a safe, inclusive space where they feel valued and connected,” said Ali Wilkinson, president, Surrey United Soccer Club. “The new covered sports facility
at Cloverdale Athletic Park will support athletic development while nurturing belonging and creating positive pathways and experiences for youth in our community. This investment and partnerships like this one truly strengthen the social fabric of Surrey.”
For fiscal 2025-26, Community Gaming Grants program will provide as much as $139 million to support the delivery of programs that directly benefit communities throughout B.C. The program ensures funding reaches organizations that meet community needs and help build connected, inclusive and resilient communities.

Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation is grateful to receive a generous cheque from the Adventurer Foundation, supported by Fraserway RV, that will fund three critically important pieces of equipment in the Fraser Valley:
An ultrasound for Abbotsford Regional Hospital's cardiac unit - a non-invasive, real-time diagnostic test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the heart's structure and function.
A MolecuLight Wound Imaging Device for Mission Memorial Hospital (MMH) - a touchscreen device that uses fluorescence imaging to easily measure wounds and visualize bacteria, allowing for more targeted treatment protocols.
A “ring rescue” for MMH Emergency Departmenta ringremoval device invented in part by a Dartmouth, N.S., physician, this computer-controlled device automatically slices through a stuck ring while preventing heat from burning the patient’s finger.
The Adventurer Foundation supported by Fraserway RV has been a long-term supporter of Fraser Valley Health Care Founda -
tion, making significant donations to improve local health care each year.

The community mourns the passing of Dr. Setty Pendakur, a pioneering urban planner, educator, and civic leader whose life helped break barriers for South Asians in public life in Vancouver. Widely respected for his scholarship and community leadership, he was among the first South Asian voices to help shape civic policy and public discourse in the city.
Dr. Pendakur was born on February 11, 1934, in Karnataka, India, where he grew up in a small village with limited educational opportunities. Determined to continue his studies, he moved away from home to complete high school and later attended engineering college in Bangalore. After graduating, he joined the Indian Administrative Service and was posted to Shillong, Assam. Despite the prestige of the role, he remained driven by the goal of higher education.
In 1955 he travelled to North America with a United Nations scholarship and support to pursue graduate studies at the University of British Columbia. After encountering racial segregation during an initial stop in the United
States, he chose to move to Canada, where he found a more welcoming environment. He eventually settled in Vancouver to study urban planning at UBC.
Dr. Pendakur later joined the UBC faculty in 1966, becoming a respected professor who mentored generations of students in urban planning and development. His academic work contributed to important conversations about how cities could grow while remaining accessible and inclusive.
In 1972, Dr. Pendakur made history when he became the first South Asian elected to the Vancouver City Council. At a time when the South Asian population in Vancouver was still small and representation in public office was rare, his election marked a significant

“We are grateful to the Adventurer Foundation and Fraserway RV for their long-term support,” said FVHCF Executive Director, Liz Harris. “We are so happy with their continued commitment to health care in the Fraser Valley.”

milestone for the community. During his term he advocated for thoughtful urban planning and greater public access to the city’s shoreline, promoting his vision of “99 by ’99” — a proposal to create 99 kilometres of waterfront walkway by 1999.
He served one term before returning to academia, believing his greatest contribution lay in teaching and research.
Dr. Pendakur married Rajinder in 1959 after the two met while standing in line at a cafeteria at UBC. Rajinder, a teacher, supported the family while he completed his PhD and built his academic career. Together they raised two sons: Ravi, now a professor at the University of Ottawa, and Krishna, an economist and professor at Simon Fraser University.
Beyond academia and politics, Dr. Pendakur remained deeply involved in community life. He played an important role in the early development of the Akali Singh Sikh Society Gurdwara, helping the Gurdwara committee negotiate the purchase of land as chair of the building committee.
From a small village in India to the halls of academia and city government in Vancouver, Dr. Pendakur’s life reflected perseverance, vision, and a deep commitment to public service. His pioneering leadership helped open doors for future generations of South Asian Canadians.

The first-ever International Women’s Day Breakfast Reception was held at Holy Trinity Church, Hounslow,London bringing together community leaders, dignitaries, and inspiring women from across the borough. Organized by Seema Malhotra MP and Ruth Cadbury MP, with the support of Mayor Amy Croft, the event marked a historic moment in celebrating the achievements and contributions of women in Hounslow.
The reception coincided with the Desi New Year, making the occasion a blessed and meaningful start to the year. Congratulations to everyone who came together for this inspiring celebration of service, resilience and the collective spirit for our communities.
Among the honourees was Narpinder Mann BEM, Director of United Humanitarian Sikh Aid (UHSA) in the
UK, who received the Judges’ Special Recognition Award for 20 years of dedicated community service. Her leadership has been instrumental in mobilizing volunteers, building bridges across faiths, and ensuring that those most in need receive timely support and advocacy.
In accepting the award, Mann expressed heartfelt gratitude:
The event highlighted the tireless work of women across Hounslow, whose efforts in education, advocacy, and community service continue to strengthen the borough. The recognition underscored the importance of unity and collective action in building a more inclusive and supportive society.
The ceremony concluded with a message of hope and gratitude:
“May divine blessings guide us as we continue to celebrate and empower women in our communities.”
Auto theft continues to be a growing concern in Canada. While auto insurance can help if your vehicle is stolen, taking a few simple steps can help reduce the risk before it happens. Making your vehicle harder to access and less appealing to target can go a long way in protecting your car and what’s inside it.
Here are six tips to help reduce the risk of theft, from the auto experts at Co-operators:
Secure your vehicle every time. Always turn off your engine and take your keys or fob with you, even during short stops, and make sure all doors are locked and windows are fully closed to reduce easy access points for thieves. Keeping valuables out of sight and avoiding leaving ownership papers or other personal documents in the vehicle lowers risk of break-ins and identity fraud.
Park in places that make theft more difficult. Choose well-lit, visible locations or park in a garage whenever possible. When parking on the street, set the emergency brake, and park between other vehicles to make your car more difficult to tow or target. If you’re parked pointed downhill, turn your wheels toward the curb, and if you’re parked facing uphill, turn them toward the street.
Protect keyless entry systems. Some thieves can use devices to boost your key fob’s signal, allowing them to unlock or start your vehicle. To help prevent this, store your fob away from
doors or windows or use a Faraday pouch to block the signal.
Add layered protection to make your vehicle harder to steal. Using a combination of anti-theft measures, such as a steering-wheel lock, alarm, tracking device or immobilizer, adds extra protection and makes your car less appealing to thieves. Depending on where you live in Canada, installing an approved tracking or anti-theft device may also make you eligible for a discount on your auto insurance premium.
Consider VIN etching. Etching your vehicle identification number (VIN) onto windows and key components makes your vehicle and its parts harder to resell. This can make it worth less to thieves, acting as a long-term deterrent.
Install motion detection lights or video surveillance at home. Adding motion detection lighting or home security cameras where you park can help discourage theft and make suspicious activity easier to notice.
A few practical habits can go a long way in protecting your vehicle and your peace of mind.
Worrying about money is a top concern for many Canadians—42 per cent of us, according to the latest FP Canada Financial Stress Index. When you’re feeling constant financial pressure, it can be difficult to know where to start or how to move forward. Taking practical steps and focusing on what you can control can make a meaningful difference. Here are some things to consider:
Set clear financial goals
Clear goals provide direction. They help you define what you want to achieve, when you want to achieve it and what resources you can commit. For example, saving for a home may require a shorter timeline and disciplined contributions towards a down payment, while saving for education or retirement may involve a longerterm investment approach. As you go through different life stages, your financial priorities will likely shift— review your goals regularly to verify that your plan reflects your current needs and circumstances.
Save with intention, no matter the amount
Saving doesn’t have to start with a large amount to make a difference. Building the habit of saving regularly can be more important than the dollar figure itself. Small, consistent contributions can help create momentum and support longer-term financial stability, especially when directed
into savings and investment accounts such as a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP), tax-free savings account (TFSA) or first home savings account (FHSA). Over time, those contributions will grow by earning returns on both your original savings and past growth.
An emergency fund can help you prepare for unexpected expenses or events. As a general rule, it’s a good idea to have three to six months’ worth of expenses saved and easily accessible. This can provide a buffer during uncertain times and reduce the need to make rushed financial decisions, such as selling investments or taking on additional debt.
You don’t have to navigate financial decisions on your own. Working with a financial advisor can help clarify your goals, understand your options and build a plan that reflects your personal situation and priorities. In addition to professional advice, Canadians can also access educational information through trusted public resources, such as those provided by the Government of Canada, to better understand key financial concepts and planning considerations.
Financial well-being is a journey, and small steps can make a meaningful difference.

Canada built a fair society based on merit. Why are we abandoning it? DEI is undermining the foundation Canada was built on: the belief that people succeed through merit and effort
By David Leis
Canadians pride themselves on living in a fair society.
Most believe people should be judged by what they do, not by who they are. That principle is called merit. Working hard, earning your place and contributing to the country are the foundations of Canada’s prosperity and stability.
It is also an idea that resonates deeply across political lines. Whether Canadians lean left or right, most still agree that fairness means the same rules for everyone.
But that principle has been steadily eroding over the past decade.
One reason is the rapid spread of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) across universities, corporations and governments. While its stated goal is fairness, the evidence increasingly suggests the opposite. In practice, DEI policies often take the form of diversity hiring targets, mandatory training programs and funding requirements tied to equity goals.
Instead of uniting Canadians, DEI risks dividing us. That raises an uncomfortable question.
Is DEI helping Canada, or harming it?
At its core, DEI represents a shift away from equality of opportunity toward equality of outcomes. That distinction matters.
Canada’s traditional model has been simple. Everyone should be treated
equally under the law. Everyone should have a fair chance to succeed. From there, results will vary depending on talent, effort and circumstance.
DEI rejects that premise. Instead, it pushes institutions to meet diversity and equity targets set by governments and by the institutions themselves. That often means giving preference to applicants from designated groups while limiting the opportunities available to others.
Universities provide perhaps the clearest example of how this shift away from merit-based principles is playing out. Institutions once devoted to open debate and the pursuit of truth increasingly find themselves policing speech, ideology and hiring practices.
You can see it in university hiring ads that explicitly limit eligibility to certain identity groups. You can see it in research funding requirements that demand applicants demonstrate commitment to DEI ideology. And you can see it in the growing administrative bureaucracies dedicated to enforcing these policies.
Many Canadians would be surprised at how deeply these systems have embedded themselves in public institutions.
Supporters argue these policies are necessary to correct historical injustices. That is an important discussion. Canada has not always lived up to its ideals of equal treatment and opportunity.

But acknowledging past injustice does not automatically mean these policies work as intended.
The evidence that DEI programs achieve their intended results is far from settled. In the corporate world, for example, claims that diversity initiatives improve business performance remain widely debated.
Some research even suggests the opposite. Rather than reducing tension between groups, mandatory diversity training and identity-based policies can increase resentment and social division.
If that is true, the consequences are serious.
Canada is already facing deep fractures, regional tensions, declining trust in institutions and growing political polarization.
Instead of strengthening social cohesion, these policies risk encouraging Canadians to see one another first through the lens of group identity rather than shared citizenship.
That is the last thing the country needs. One province has begun pushing back. Alberta has taken steps to dismantle DEI bureaucracies in public universities. The provincial government directed institutions to review and scale back diversity offices and related programs.
The deeper problem may be institutional inertia. Once bureaucracies are

created and funded, they rarely disappear on their own.
So what should Canada do?
First, we need honesty. The debate around DEI is often framed as a choice between compassion and prejudice. That is a false dichotomy. Canadians overwhelmingly support fairness and opportunity for everyone.
Second, we should return to principles that have historically worked. Equal treatment under the law. Merit-based hiring and admissions. Policies that help individuals facing genuine disadvantage, without imposing blanket identity preferences.
Finally, Canadians need to ask tougher questions about the institutions they support. Universities, governments and corporations all depend on public trust. That trust requires transparency and accountability.
The goal should not be to divide Canadians into competing identity groups. It should be to strengthen a shared sense of citizenship.
At its best, Canada succeeds when people believe they are playing by the same rules.
Defending that principle may be one of the most important challenges facing the country today.

The Full Moon this week occurs in your sign. If there is any time to be noticed for something, it is now. The position you might want to take when it comes to any situation will be made quite clear by you. This won’t necessarily fit in with what others might want or expect, generating the need for them to reconsider.
You could suddenly begin to realise that somebody else isn’t planning to be as agreeable as you have presumed. This may make you wonder about exactly what might be building up behind the scenes that might prove difficult. Focus on what gives you greatest enjoyment and any decisions you need to make in these directions.
Something you have been putting your energy into over the last 2 weeks might now require some rethinking, especially if you feel certain obligations take up too much of your time and might be better dropped. Look at this as a first stage up to late October. Developing greater personal freedom in the long term will be important.
There can be much to enjoy this week though there will be other situations that will provide some challenges. You need to be creative with thinking or decision making to late October, especially if you are being put under pressure when it comes to the expectations of somebody else. Your focus will be to bring something to an end.
What is possible in the long term could become clearer, making you realise that what once seemed important might need to be rethought. This could be as a result of what someone else now wants or expects. You must not put your wishes to one side as there is the opportunity to fulfil those eventually, even if it is not obvious right now. Don’t hesitate to either challenge or bring something to an end with somebody else if this will generate greater peace, balance or harmony to you on a personal level. This could bring some surprising things to the surface that you didn’t expect, making it necessary to rethink, to late September, the decisions you should make.
Your focus will move to finances to late September and this can have some sort of new beginnings attached, though this is a first stage. There could be final details you need to sort out so that you will be in a good position to handle any increase in responsibilities. The true position of somebody else could become more obvious.
You could come to the realisation, from now to late September, that it is better to scale down ideas you might have had late July to mid August to be able to take these things into the future successfully. Others might have bigger ambitions but you can be happier with small steps, allowing you to have a feeling of better control.
Somebody else could become surprisingly generous, which you might find hard to trust. When it comes to any definite decision making you need to take your time to late September. Matters will require careful contemplation especially in any situations where you need to scale back obligations rather than take new ones on.
Something you thought had become evident since mid August where someone else’s decision making is concerned could again become more unknown to late September. It could be that they need to withdraw to make final decisions. These could involve taking your priorities into account as well as generating some sort of pleasure in life.
You are in a position to late September to contemplate future plans and possibilities that you may have wanted from late July to mid August but could not finalise. You have the opportunity to engage with others and get a response. This could also have a lot to do with leaving the past behind up to 20th November so you can move on with a new life direction.
Interactions with other people can be pleasant on one hand but challenging on another when it comes to any situation where personal commitment from you is expected. What should be aimed for in the long term can be communicated to late September, though this is a first stage. Winding things up is part of the process.
Summer brings a sense of freedom for kids and the chance for everyone to enjoy nice weather and fun activities. But it can also bring the risk of extreme heat.
Extreme heat, and heat related illnesses, are especially dangerous for infants and young children.
Heat illnesses include heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat fainting, heat edema (swelling of the hands, feet and ankles), heat rash (prickly heat) and heat cramps (muscle cramps). They are mainly caused by overexposure to heat or overexertion in the heat, and if not prevented, can lead to long-term health problems and even death.
Children most at risk include those with breathing difficulties (asthma), heart conditions, kidney problems, mental and physical disabilities, developmental disorders, diarrhea and those who take certain medications.
Consult with your family doctor or pharmacist to find out if your child’s medication increases their risk of heat-related illnesses.
Tune in regularly to local weather forecasts and alerts, so you know when to take extra care.
If you have an air conditioner, make sure it works properly before the hot weather starts. Otherwise, find an air-conditioned spot near you that you can use to cool off during extreme heat.
Learn about ways to keep your home cool during the summer and plan for the future. For example, if you live in a house, plant trees on the side where the sun hits the house during the hottest part of the day.
If you see any of these signs during extreme heat, immediately move the child to a cool place and give water.
Canadians live more of their lives online than ever before, from banking and shopping to working and staying connected. As our digital footprint grows, digital fraud is becoming more sophisticated, making identity theft an increasingly common risk. The good news is that a few smart habits can make it much harder for criminals to succeed.
According to a recent Belairdirect survey, 59 per cent of Canadians say they’re unsure whether their current insurance policies cover identity theft. That uncertainty can add stress at an already difficult time, which is why understanding both prevention and protection matters.
Identity theft doesn’t always announce itself right away.
Some common red flags include:
Passwords that suddenly no longer work.Unfamiliar transactions on your bank or credit card statements.
Missing bills or statements you normally receive.
Credit cards arriving that you didn’t apply for.
Unexpected denials when applying for credit.
If any of these happen, it’s essential to act quickly. Change any passwords you have, cancel your credit cards and have them re-issued, and contact your financial institution to let them know— someone may try to impersonate you.
Simple habits that can help reduce your risk:
Monitor accounts regularly and review statements for unusual activity.
Use strong, unique passwords for each account. Avoid using personal details.
Limit what you share online, especially on social media.
Be cautious with unsolicited emails, texts or calls requesting information.
Avoid public Wi-Fi for banking or shopping.
Shred financial documents before discarding them.
Check for secure websites by looking for “HTTPS” and the padlock icon in the address bar.
Even with strong prevention habits, identity theft can still happen. Identity theft insurance can offer financial protection as well as peace of mind during what can be a stressful and time-consuming recovery process. Its coverage and features vary by insurer, so it’s worth reviewing your policy or speaking with your insurance provider to better understand what’s available to you.
There are many reasons why fraudsters target seniors: a belief that they have accumulated savings, an assumption that they aren’t familiar with the technology scammers use or taking advantage of the fact that many seniors are socially isolated and may not have support to help them spot a scam or push back. Identity theft is a priority for many fraudsters, since they can use that information to enrich themselves in a variety of ways. Here are a couple of the biggest threats to watch out for:
Someone can pose as your bank to get your information. This is a technique called “phishing,” and it’s one of fraudsters’ favourite tactics. It works by sending a communication that seems like it’s from your bank or another institution you trust—this could be a phone call, email or text. They’ll claim there’s some issue you need to resolve quickly, like a missed payment. They may even accuse you
of fraud or ask for help with a fraud investigation. The strategy is to create a sense of urgency or even panic so that you follow the included link to log in or give your information over the phone. When you do, it provides that information to the fraudster, who can use it to compromise your account to get money or even more of your identity.
Tax return scams are more popular than ever. Posing as the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is a popular tactic of fraudsters for two reasons:
People take their taxes seriously. Telling someone, especially a senior, who may be on a fixed income, that there’s an issue with their tax return or benefits is an effective way to create panic.
Tax information is valuable. If a fraudster can get you to give them access to your CRA account or your tax forms, they can use that information to steal your identity. To a scammer, your tax
Artificial intelligence (AI) is often talked about in terms of how it’s revolutionized different industries—that’s certainly true for fraud. Cybercriminals have enthusiastically adopted AI tools to enhance their attacks. Here are just some of the scams that the technology is empowering:
The grandparent scam: Now, with the help of AI tools, a fraudster with access to enough footage of someone via their social media can convincingly impersonate their voice on a call or even in video chat. A fraudster calls their target, often a senior, posing as one of their grandchildren who’s in trouble. They need money now and it needs to be kept secret.
Identity theft: With AI to do the heavy lifting for them, fraudsters can much more efficiently look through bulk data for enough information to select a target. One of their favourite tactics is claiming that there’s an issue with the person’s tax return—if they can get access to their tax forms, that gives them all the information
they need to completely compromise that person’s identity.
Phishing: This tactic has come a long way from emails from overseas princes filled with spelling mistakes. AI tools are making targeted attacks called “spear phishing” much easier. Fraudsters can include many more personal details to make their fake communications more convincing. For instance, they could even emulate the writing style of someone the target knows.
Keeping your identity safe in a world of AI-powered fraud takes staying a step ahead of the scammers. One way to do this is by using digital tools, like Telus Online Security, which protects your identity and can also help you recover it if it’s stolen. It includes an identity vault that automatically scans and moves sensitive IDs and documents like tax forms into an encrypted space.
AI may be making fraud harder to spot, but by staying aware of its capabilities, keeping vigilant and staying protected, you can better avoid falling prey.
forms are a one-stop shop.
How can seniors protect themselves? There are digital security services that can help, at tax time and throughout the year. Using a tool like Telus Online Security can help protect your identity. It uses built-in device security that acts as a first line of defence against phishing attacks and scams, and can help you determine which messages are legitimate and which aren’t. In the event that your identity is stolen, the service offers 24/7 access to support and identity theft specialists who can walk you through the recovery process.
It’s important to be vigilant and trust your instincts. Scammers count on you not questioning what you’re told, so
question it. Ask yourself if any communication you receive makes sense. If all the emails you got from them in the past told you to log into your account directly, why does this one have a link to click?
The threat of identity theft has never been higher, but by protecting yourself and exercising caution and judgment, you can keep yourself safer.
Spring is often a time to open the windows, put winter behind us and reset our routines. It’s also a good opportunity to clear out clutter. Even small changes can reduce your stress and help spaces feel easier to live and work in. Here are some ways to get started:
At home
Start small by decluttering one area at a time, focusing on surfaces you see every day like counters, tables and couches.
Gather items you rarely use into a box and revisit it after a few months to decide what to keep, donate or sell.
Reduce paper clutter by switching to paperless billing where possible.
Improve air quality by changing furnace or air conditioning filters as needed and keeping indoor humidity below 50 per cent.
In your car
Keep a small garbage bag handy to prevent clutter from building up.
Vacuum seasonally and remove salt or gravel from floor mats.
Clean dashboards and doors with a cloth and warm water instead of chemical cleaners.
Avoid air fresheners or deodorizing products that can irritate your airways.
At work
Keep only the items you use every day on your desk.
Clear papers and unnecessary items at the end of each day and keep a recycling bin nearby.
Organize documents into folders and store them in a drawer close to your workspace.
Adjust your setup for comfort by keeping your monitor at eye level and your keyboard properly positioned.
Bhooth Bangla has been generating strong buzz ever since its teaser was released online. The film marks the muchanticipated reunion of Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan after 14 years, promising audiences a signature blend of comedy and spooky entertainment. Amid the ongoing shoot, a behind-thescenes moment from one of the film's songs has caught attention. According to sources from the production team, Wamiqa Gabbi performed a challenging train sequence where she stood at the edge of a moving train. The scene required careful coordination and perfect timing with Akshay Kumar to ensure both safety and visual impact. What stood out during the shoot was the strong trust and comfort Wamiqa shared with her co-star while executing the stunt. A source close to the film revealed that she relied entirely on Akshay during the sequence and was confident performing the scene without external support. Their effortless coordination helped the moment appear seamless and natural on camera. The sequence has since become a talking point on the set, with crew members praising Wamiqa's confidence and the on-screen chemistry between the two actors. Backed by Balaji Motion Pictures in association with Cape of Good Films, the film also stars Paresh Rawal, Tabu and Rajpal Yadav. The film is scheduled to release in theatres April 10, 2026.
Actor Akshay Kumar spoke passionately about his bond with stunt performers and addressed questions around his public image during a candid conversation with journalist Rajdeep Sardesai at an event. Responding to a question about providing insurance support to Bollywood stunt artists, Kumar said the initiative came from personal experience and responsibility. “I know all the stuntmen. I know them by name. I consider myself a stuntman first and then an actor,” he said. Highlighting the
risks they face, he added, “Today when people get hurt, they don’t even have the money to get their teeth fixed. I have seen such people who have lost their lives. Two stuntmen died in front of me. One of them had got married recently.” Kumar emphasised that stunt performers put their lives on the line to make actors look good on screen. “They are doing it for whom? So that we look good. If we can’t even insure them, then it’s a curse on us,” he said, describing the move as a way of “giving back” to the industry
Actress Nora Fatehi has been in the news after her latest track 'SarkeChunar' sparked a controversy and was eventually banned. The Hindi version of this song from the Kannada film 'KD Devil' was criticised over its alleged 'double-meaning' lyrics The situation has escalated further now, with a group of ten lawyers reportedly approaching the Ministry of Home Affairs, demanding cancellation of Nora's work permit and her deportation from India. As per reports, the complaint has also been forwarded to several key authorities, including the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the Central Board of Film Certification, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, and the National Commission for Women, underscoring the seriousness of the issue. In their petition, the lawyers have alleged that the song is obscene, sexually suggestive, and offensive to public morality as well as the dignity of women. They further argued that Nora has misused her privilege to work in India by associating with such content. Referring to provisions under the Foreigners Act, 1946, they stated that the government holds the authority to act against foreign nationals whose actions may disrupt public decency or order. They also cited the Passport (Entry into India) Act, 1920, along with other legal provision.

Bollywood multihyphenate Karan Johar is having a major FOMO. The filmmakerproducer took to the Stories section of his Instagram Sunday, and shared a note saying that he is missing watching 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' in cinemas. KJo shared that he is currently shooting for a project at a remote location with no access to cinema. He wrote, "I am filming in a location that has no access to a cinema and am suffering from FOMO".
"DHURANDHAR FOMO, I can't wait to watch it and am so proud of so many members of our fraternity who are coming out and supporting and loving the film... it's so heartening to see the united love for an INDIAN FILM! , he added.
'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, has emerged as one of the biggest box-office juggernauts in recent Indian cinema. The response has been overwhelmingly strong across markets. The film registered high occupancy rates, multiple sold-out shows, and strong traction in dubbed versions, indicating pan-India appeal.
