Man hospitalized with significant injuries after grizzly bear attack in B.C.

A man was hospitalized with significant injuries following a grizzly bear attack near Creston, B.C., conservation officers say. The B.C. Conservation Officer Service (BCCOS) said in a social media post that the attack happened around 4:30 p.m. Saturday when a husband and wife were riding e-bikes along the Kootenay River near West Creston in southeast B.C. The service said the wife heard her husband scream and saw a grizzly bear running at her. She used bear spray and then realized a second bear was attacking her husband. The wife used bear spray again and both bears ran off, according to the BCCOS. "Emergency services were called, and the man was transported to hospital in Cranbrook by ambulance, where he underwent surgery," the BCCOS said. According to the service, conservation officers swept the area after the attack and didn't locate the bears. They closed three major trails in the area, installed signage and set up traps on Saturday night, but no bears were captured. The BCCOS is still searching for the grizzlies as of Saturday afternoon, according to the social media post. It says trails in the area will be closed until further notice.

Heat warning issued for Toronto as temperature, humidity soars

Toronto residents are in store for yet another round of soaring temperatures from Sunday to Tuesday, Environment Canada says. The federal weather agency issued a heat warning Sunday, which says daytime high temperatures are expected to be in the mid-30s, but could feel closer to 40 C after humidity is factored in. The evenings won't provide much relief with temperature lows expected around 19 to 23 C. The hottest conditions are expected on Monday, Environment Canada says, but there is "some uncertainty" how long the heat could last for some regions. People are advised to drink water often, watch for signs of heat exhaustion and to check on those at-risk for heat illnesses, said the weather agency. It also suggests wearing light-colored clothing and limiting exposure to the heat. Signs of heat stroke can include red and hot skin, dizziness and nausea. Over 500 spaces across Toronto are available for residents looking for relief during a heat warning, including the following air-conditioned facilities: North York Civic Centre Scarborough Civic Centre Etobicoke Civic Centre York Civic Centre East York Community Centre Metro Hall lobby The buildings will be open until 9:30 p.m. every day that a warning is in effect, with the exception of the Metro Hall lobby which is open 24 hours a day.

Montreal police investigating death of 52-year-old man in Saint-Léonard

Montreal police are investigating the death of a 52-year-old man on Sunday in Montreal's Saint-Léonard borough. Earlier in the day, police said the death was considered suspicious but later confirmed it was a homicide. It is believed that there was a break-in at a residence at around 4:30 a.m. near where the victim was found, said Montreal police spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils. A suspect, a 31-year-old man, was arrested nearby in connection with break-in and transported to an investigation centre for questioning, Chèvrefils said. He was scheduled to appear by videoconference at the Court of Quebec on Sunday afternoon. Chèvrefils stated that the break-in could possibly be related to the man's death, but that it is too early to confirm. The investigation is ongoing and no arrest has yet been made in connection with the homicide. This is the 23rd homicide in Montreal since the beginning of the year.
