We extend our sincere condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of the Canadian Armed Forces members who died as a result of a fire at CFD Wainwright, Alberta.
Our thoughts are with all members of the @CanadianForces during this difficult time.

It is with profound sadness that we confirm that a fire incident at CFB Wainwright on October 17 resulted in fatalities and injuries. Our immediate priority is supporting those affected and notifying next of kin.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists murdered more than 1,200 people and took 250 innocent Israelis hostage, while committing widespread sexual violence.
Among those murdered were eight Canadians. They were daughters and sons, mothers and friends. They were deeply loved, and three years later, their absence is still felt every day.
Today, we remember the lives they lived and honour their memory, alongside all those murdered on October 7.

May their memories be for a blessing.

Our hearts are with the many talented journalists, broadcasters, producers and staff whose positions were impacted at 570 NewsRadio.
For decades, they have served Waterloo Region with professionalism, integrity and passion. Their work has informed our community, shared its stories and helped bring people together.This is a significant loss for our region.
570 NewsRadio has been an incredible partner to the Rangers. We are incredibly grateful to the entire staff, who have brought #OHLRangers hockey into the homes, cars and workplaces for our fans season after season. Their commitment to our organization and our community has never gone unnoticed.
We recognize how important our game broadcasts are to fans across the region and beyond. We are actively exploring alternative options to ensure our passionate fans can continue to follow the team, and we look forward to sharing more information as plans come together. – at Kitchener, Ontario

It’s rare that I feel speechless, but tonight is one of those nights. Feeling sad, angry and betrayed by @Rogers and @RogersMediaPR tonight! @CityNewsKIT was part of the heart & soul of our community - a trusted news source, a vital space for democratic accountability on shows like @farwell_WR, community pride during @OHLRangers games, national pride with our @BlueJays! Your trusted journalists & team members deserved better, the @CityKitchener community deserved better and our country that you have made billions in profits from deserved better. There is more to say, but for now, my heart goes out to the incredible @CityNewsKIT team and all @Rogers staff members impacted in Kitchener, Calgary, Halifax, Vancouver and Toronto.

Thank you @bluejays for recognizing and honouring the service and sacrifice of Emergency Task Force Constable Marc Pinizzotto and @OPP Constable Tarun Bali at tonight’s game.
Our policing family continues to grieve alongside their loved ones, colleagues, and communities. We are deeply grateful for the tremendous outpouring of support from across Toronto and throughout the country during this difficult time.

“I don’t like playing them when they’re on their own team. I couldn't imagine when there’s three of them.”
Canada's new super line — and fear-inducing power-play — represents a generational wealth of talent 🇨🇦 tinyurl.com/ynrpp44d

The last time the @BlueJays played in a #WorldSeries Game 6, Joe Carter hit a LEGENDARY walk-off home run to win it all!
Will we see similar heroics tonight in Toronto?

On behalf of @RegionWaterloo Council, we are devastated to learn of the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Councillor Kari Williams.
Councillor Williams was an incredibly bright light, both in our community and in Council Chambers.
therecord.com/news/waterloo-…. A long time coming but great news for our community with the merging of two great health care teams
