Sporting goods retailer Decathlon to close 5 Toronto-area stores
French sporting goods retailer Decathlon says it is closing its five Greater Toronto Area stores this summer. The locations slated for shutdown are in Brampton, Burlington, Markham, Scarborough and Vaughan. The retailer did not offer a reason for the move or say how many staff will lose their jobs, when the stores close on a yet-to-be-announced date. In place of running its large-scale GTA stores, the company says it is considering opening smaller locations or using a wholesale distribution model. CBC News has reached out to a spokesperson for Decathlon for more information. The GTA closures will leave just one Ontario store located in Ottawa. There are 14 others across Alberta, B.C., Nova Scotia and Quebec. Decathlon entered the Canadian market in 2018 with a Brossard, Que., store. The company expanded steadily ever since, going head-to-head with established domestic players like Canadian Tire and its SportChek banner.

Relief from the heat arrives in Ontario, but with rounds of rain, strong storms
Ontario's first summer heat wave, marked by record-breaking heat and dangerous humidity, has come to an end as much cooler temperatures break the hot weather. DON'T MISS: By Thursday, a sharp drop in temperatures will be felt across much of the province, with daytime highs struggling to even crack the 20-degree mark. With the heat relief however, comes rounds of rain and the threat for thunderstorms heading into the weekend. Some of the storms have the potential to become quite strong and severe, so it'll be important to keep a close eye on any weather alerts in your area. The first round of rain moved into the Nickel Belt early Thursday morning, spreading into central Ontario by midday, and set to reach eastern Ontario by the afternoon. Southwestern Ontario will experience a mix of dry conditions and passing showers, while remaining quite warm. There's also the chance for a rumble or two of thunder throughout the day. DON'T MISS: Temperatures across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), central, and eastern Ontario will hover around 19-20°C. This will feel like a significant drop compared to the 30°C highs earlier in the week, which, with the humidex, made conditions feel closer to the mid-40s. The next round of rain is set to arrive late Thursday night into Friday morning, starting in northeastern Ontario before moving into central and eastern Ontario through the morning hours. The GTA may also see rain return Friday morning. Rain is expected to continue in central and eastern Ontario into Friday night. Thunderstorms are possible Friday afternoon and evening as a frontal system moves through. Some storms could be strong, with the potential for powerful wind gusts and hail. The timing of the front will dictate how close to the GTA the severe storms reach, but at this time, the greatest threat remains for the Lake Huron shorelines. Temperatures in the GTA will see a slight increase, while central and eastern Ontario will still struggle to reach 20°C. Rain is expected to taper off in central and eastern Ontario by Saturday morning, though scattered showers could continue across the east through the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will slowly recover, reaching the low to mid-20s by Saturday afternoon. There is still uncertainty regarding the exact timing of the heaviest rain and when it will clear, particularly for eastern Ontario, where precipitation may persist into Saturday afternoon. In all, a widespread 10-20 mm of rain is forecast, but with much heavier amounts for parts of northwestern and eastern Ontario. Some of the harder-hit areas could see as much as 60 mm through Sunday. Monday will bring back hot and humid weather across the region. Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to develop ahead of a cold front, which is expected to move through overnight Monday, and into Tuesday for Canada Day.
