Both his parents spoke out in the wake of the actor's shocking death, and his mom claimed that Cory turned to drugs because he 'wasn't ready for the Hollywood world.' 'Drugs were his way of checking out,' she told People in 2018. 'Cory didn't want to die. There is no doubt about that.' 4 FOX Image Collection via Getty Images Advertisement 'He called that world plastic,' she added at the time. 'It was too superficial for him.

'Cory was such a loving and genuine person. And the best part of his life was still ahead,' she said. 'He wanted a wife and kids. He would have made a beautiful father. He had accomplished so much.

'By the end of the second season, he didn't have his private time and he was probably one of the most private people I knew,' he told the Post in 2023. 'And now it's like everybody wants to know everything about him.' 'There did definitely get to a point where he was burned out,' Neill added.

Tia Mowry found travel healing post-divorce
Tia Mowry found travel helped her to heal after her divorce. The former Sister, Sister star split from Cory Hardrict - with whom she has Cree, 13, and seven-year-old Cairo - in 2023 after 15 years of marriage and she has urged anyone who finds themselves suddenly single to "dive into doing the work" on themselves and to take time for self-care. Asked during a fan Q+A on her Instagram Story how to recover from a divorce, she wrote: "I think I'd say: dive into doing the work. "Really, truly focus on self-care. Focus on what makes you happy and what brings you joy. "Build a tribe, a community of friends, a support system. Meditate. Try new hobbies. Read books on healing. Spend time with your kids if you have them, or just surround yourself with people who genuinely love and support you. 'Do things that feel fun and fulfilling. Travel, if you can. Traveling really helped me. It's all about creating new experiences. The more experiences you have, the further away you get from that heavy, gut-wrenching feeling of divorce.' The 46-year-old actress stressed that it is OK to feel emotional but to try not to get "consumed" by sadness. She added: 'Also, allow yourself to cry. Allow yourself to feel it all. Just don't let it consume you. I hope that helps.' Cory recently explained he and Tia had managed to avoid a "messy" divorce by putting their children first. Speaking on 'Sherri', the 45-year-old actor said: "Everything starts and ends with love. We are a family, no matter what people say. I block out the noise. My kids are going to live to see this one day, and I am going to represent for them, always. "If you really love your children, you won't get involved in the noise or the mess. I make sure that I always think about them first. I put myself last. If you do that, you're going to avoid the mess." His comments come shortly after Tia revealed that Cory had been her "first everything" and that she had never really known anything than their marriage when it comes to relationships. Speaking during a confessional segment on her WeTV reality show 'Tia Mowry: My Next Act', she explained: "You know I've never dated. Cory was my first everything. 'I wasn't even allowed to date until I was 18 years old. "I met Cory when I turned 20 and I lost my virginity at 25. There, I said it! And then we got married! Boom!"

Roberto Lopes on Rovers teen he says is ‘one of the players of the season'
Roberto Lopes has backed Shamrock Rovers' teenage stars to help spearhead the club's bid to return to the top of Irish football. Stephen Bradley's side have opened up an 11-point gap on the rest, thanks to last Friday's 4-1 dismantling of Cork City - and they can further extend their advantage tonight against Bohemians. Lopes (33) got on the scoresheet against the Leesiders, while Michael Noonan, who at 16 is less than half the veteran centre-half's age, scored twice. Noonan was one of three teens to start against Cork, along with John O'Sullivan and Cory O'Sullivan (both 19), while Max Kovalevskis (17) came off the bench. As did Cian Barrett, who only turned 20 in April. It's a frightening array of talent that is emerging from an academy that has already produced Ireland goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu. And Cape Verde international Lopes believes the young guns have what it takes to thrive in the high-pressure environment at Tallaght Stadium.

'And then the quality, everyone can see out there. They're ready to play. They're probably eager to play every game and they might have to be a bit patient. 'But you see when they come in there, they're ready to do a job. That's the most important thing. 'They give 100 percent each day in training and on the pitch then, they get the rewards for working hard.' While Noonan has been grabbing the headlines for his goal exploits - he has now scored six in the Premier Division, to add to his historic European goal against Molde in February - Lopes has been much closer on the pitch to Cory O'Sullivan. And he reckons the 19-year-old has been playing to a level beyond his years. 'Cory's been one of the players of the season for me,' said the Dubliner. 'The games he's been asked to come into, he's settled really well. 'He's had to cover for me, Lee, Dan, Josh, whoever, left wing-back, left centre-half. He's done a job and he's been brilliant. 'And you can see he's been in the 21s, got his first cap for that as well. Cory's got a good head on his shoulders and hopefully he can keep kicking on and finish the season strong.' As for O'Sullivan's character, Lopes recalled how the youngster started Rovers' 2-1 win away to Derry City in May, only to pick up an early yellow card and be replaced by Josh Honohan after just 17 minutes. The 19-year-old was back in the starting-11 a week later against Galway United, where he put in an excellent display. 'It was a decision the manager made because I think the yellow cards were being thrown out really early in that game,' said Lopes, 'so it's not a risk you want to take. 'It didn't affect Cory. I think he understands that well. And I think he knows in this game it's not personal. 'He thought about trying to make the team better. And look, I think the next game he came into, he was amazing again. 'He has a really good attitude, personality and resilience himself.' As for goalscorer Noonan, Lopes said: 'He is maturing with every game. He led the line really well and caused all sorts of problems. 'He's probably disappointed only to get two goals (against Cork), they were a great two but he's always hungry for more. I think his overall game was exceptional tonight.' Tonight's game at Dalymount Park will be another test for Rovers' youngsters - as will the title chase, even if the Hoops are streaking ahead of the rest. However, they are buying into Bradley's mantra to not look too far ahead, just as much as their senior teammates. 'I think that's the message around the place from the manager to the senior players. I think a lot of young lads get that as well,' said Lopes. 'They are grounded. I think that's important. And if you're not, you're brought to ground fairly quickly in pre-season. 'But we're blessed. We have a good group there. Everyone wants to work hard. Everyone's trying to get into the team. The message is the same.' A former Bohs player, Lopes knows just how big these Dublin derbies are. 'I think it always has been (the biggest derby) since I started football. The Bohs v Rovers, it's probably the biggest game on the calendar,' he said. 'We can't get caught up too much in the occasion, though. It's an important game for us in terms of trying to build on this momentum and keep going and three points. 'But yeah, I suppose it's the biggest game in Irish football for me.' However, with Bohs already chalking up two wins against Rovers this season - at the Aviva and in Tallaght, he sounded a note of caution. 'I probably sound like a broken record, but I think form goes out the window in these games,' he said. 'I always say it. We know it's going to be a tough game, especially going over there. We know how hostile it can be. 'So yeah, we just have to be prepared mentally going into that and play the game in front of us. 'You have to take the madness out of it at times. It's going to be there. It's going to be 100 miles an hour at times. 'But you need to be able to take a breath and put your foot on the ball and show your quality as well.'

TORONTO, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ - The Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) is expanding its Building Retrofit Initiative (BRI) by forming a $100 million partnership with Scotiabank to finance deep energy retrofits across their commercial real estate clients in Canada. The loans to building owners will support the modernization of their assets and reduce their environmental impacts. Through this collaboration, Scotiabank clients—including owners of commercial, industrial, office, and multi-residential buildings—can access low-cost, flexible financing to undertake upgrades that cut emissions by at least 30 per cent. Eligible projects include: building envelope improvements, heating and cooling system upgrades, automation and fuel switching, lighting and electrical system upgrades and the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
