left a path of destruction with some areas still without power as of Tuesday morning the intense weather system resulted in tornadoes in some areas like this with damaging winds and hail and others this is in the village of Elsham about 30 minutes southeast of Nippawin residents were without power here since Saturday night having to drive to Nippawin for water washrooms and showers as of yesterday afternoon residents in the rural areas were still without power it's a similar situation for the village of Codette south of Nippawin Bryce Drinkwater lives on a farm outside of the village and says he's tried to get answers from Saskpower on a timeline but he's frustrated by a lack of information [00:02:19] Speaker 5: like they've had a big job I'm I'm not taking that away but I think from an overall standpoint like an inability to update us on even where the problem is and it's just like a troubleshoot to go back doesn't doesn't leave me with a lot of confidence in them being able to provide reliable service [00:02:43] Speaker 2: Saskpower tells us that this weekend's storm system caused a higher volume of outages across the province than they've seen in four years in all about 50,000 customers lost power and more than 500 are still without it as of this moment despite plenty of air conditioners running throughout the weekend it wasn't enough to break Saskpower's summer usage record Saskpower said the peak so far wasn't anything exceptional falling short of the summer peak by 285 megawatts one factor is the hottest days happen during the weekend when business and industrial activity is a little lower the summer usage record is still well behind the all-time peak during the winter at 3,910 megawatts the yellow quill first nation north of kelvington has declared

temperature reaching 37.3 degrees celsius over in winnipeg roads and sidewalks buckled under the heat look at that the extreme heat helped produce a number of storms including one in quebec that turned daylight into darkness this is what it looked like mid-morning yesterday in latouque quebec east of montreal the sudden darkness triggered city lights to switch on this was all because of a storm that swept through the area blanketing the region with thick haze from wildfires burning in the north the same plume of smoke hung over montreal creating an eerie dull yellow haze lightning lit up the sky several times in montreal as the storm passed through rain poured down in ottawa under a blanket of heat humidity and smoke ottawa has been under a heat warning since monday and today is expected to mark the peak of the heat event temperatures could reach 38 degrees celsius and feel closer to 45. the canadian forces snowbirds did a flyover in saskatoon yesterday jeremy dodge is in

saskatchewan are concerned about the future of the school's wildlife program the western college of veterinary medicine says it's temporarily closing its zoo exotics and wildlife service from july 22nd to august 17th because of a lack of specialized staffing students fear the temporary pause will become permanent they say the program provides hands-on experience treating injured or orphaned wildlife and they say it can't be replicated in a classroom or [00:08:10] Speaker 10: through traditional pet cases we have so many amazing specialists and specialty programs that really just help us get a very solid education and i think that our wildlife service is a core part of that that makes the wcdm special so it really would be a shame to lose it for the animals the public and the [00:08:32] Speaker 9: students the university says it is conducting an extensive review before deciding the future of its zoo exotics and wildlife service a petition to urge the college to continue

overnight and very early morning hours we were seeing some light precipitation throughout uh southern saskatchewan i'm going to show you that on our radar in just a moment here uh now to wake you up in regina though it's just cloudy right now 20 degrees already though so we really are seeing a warm start to the day winds coming in at 15 kilometers per hour in saskatoon 19 degrees mainly cloudy but we are seeing just a little bit more sunshine and winds are fairly calm to start the day currently coming in at seven kilometers per hour let's turn our attention though to this radar and satellite late last night we were seeing quite a bit of that precipitation uh into the early morning hours not quite as much throughout central saskatchewan but down throughout the southeast corner in particular right around estevan we were seeing some of that uh thunderstorm activity this morning uh we're also talking about some more precipitation throughout the day today this is a current look out there right now uh so still seeing some of that rain to start the day it does lessen throughout the uh afternoon but we are still seeing it especially right around yorkton there as you can see uh into the evening hours we have the risk of some more thunderstorms moving in but primarily impacting northern saskatchewan and then we're talking about those overnight hours and into tomorrow morning still seeing most of that precipitation up north but parts of central saskatchewan will also be seeing some of that rain as well tomorrow afternoon mainly seeing that rain concentrating up north still by the end of the day today the battlefords will be seeing about 10 more millimeters of rain only about one more millimeter for saskatoon one for moosejaw two for regina today and about three millimeters of rain for estevan so not a whole lot of rain on the way but we are expecting to see some more in terms of temperatures they will be cooling off today compared to what we have been seeing in the past few days 23 degrees for swift current today 22 in moosejaw 22 in regina and wayburn 23 in estevan and 22 in yorkton a little bit warmer throughout central and parts of northern saskatchewan 26 for the battlefords 26 in saskatoon and 27 in prince albert today in terms of those wind speeds we're also going to be seeing those going up compared to what we've been seeing in the past few days especially if you're waking up with us from the southeast corner of the province starting the day with some stronger winds could be seeing those gusts surpassing 60 kilometers per hour

single day loss since at least january 3rd 1968 those are your morning business headlines for bnm bloomberg i'm roger peterson [00:16:41] Speaker 2: thank you raj let's get over to this the city of wayburn is in need of a new pool but residents are concerned the design for the proposed 30 million dollar project is moving ahead without insight from the community sierra de souza butts tells us how the city plans to engage with residents as that project moves forward [00:16:59] Speaker 14: ramina edgerton grew up playing water polo in wayburn since she was 10 years old now she plays professionally representing team granville in france i was watching them and their careers progress and [00:17:11] Speaker 15: they were going off to play for national teams to play in europe to play at universities and i was seeing that and i and i wanted that [00:17:19] Speaker 14: she was first introduced to water polo through her brother my family we didn't know what it was it's [00:17:24] Speaker 15: not a very popular sport but he went he tried it and he loved it in the end i ended up loving it too [00:17:29] Speaker 14: without having an indoor pool in her hometown edgerton says she would have never given the sport a chance however in the last two years wayburn's indoor pool has been closed due to a leak every year that we [00:17:41] Speaker 16: don't have an indoor pool is all the grade threes and fives don't get swimming lessons and that's it's going to end up unsafe because how many kids have backdoor pools now as the city works towards building [00:17:51] Speaker 14: a new 30 million dollar facility residents worry about the project's future design i'm in favor of [00:17:57] Speaker 16: something like the spark center which the city's done so well where we can have more than one activity [00:18:01] Speaker 17: happening at the same time a pool in this size city is a need it's it's something that's required kids [00:18:07] Speaker 14: need to know how to swim one community advocate is proposing the city dive deeper into researching how two pool tanks can be built instead of one while staying within its budget with a two tank facility [00:18:18] Speaker 18: you can have a sport activity going on a competition and you still have the other tank for your community recreation which is necessary because you have to cater to the community needs as well however the city says [00:18:29] Speaker 14: two basins are highly unlikely based on consultation from experts if the people of weyburn overwhelmingly [00:18:36] Speaker 19: say to us we want two basins and we want to use the old pool but that budget comes in at 65 million dollars we have got a decision then that we have to make adding the city plans to engage with user groups [00:18:49] Speaker 14: of the pool as it gets closer to the design stage although an exact location of where the pool will be built is not confirmed the city says it will be somewhere in jubilee park seared susa butts ctv news

even in my backyard just so bad yikes yikes yikes yikes but they're really enjoying that weather out there because they love the dampness and we have been seeing some precipitation overnight and of course we're still seeing a lot of that heat in many places in the province mainly through northern and central saskatchewan today not quite as hot down south we're getting a bit of a break from that although right now we're already at 20 degrees a bit of a cloudy start to the day in regina and we have some winds coming in at 15 kilometers per hour in saskatoon 20 degrees a mix of sun and cloud and winds coming in at seven kilometers per hour they are going to be increasing for some places in the province today a little bit stronger than what we have been seeing in the past few days especially down south today and really all those areas lighting up in blue we could be seeing them surpassing 30 kilometers per hour but specifically down in the southeast corner right around estevan we are seeing them uh surpassing 60 kilometers per hour at some points in the day so be prepared for a bit of some gusty conditions current temperatures out there now we're seeing 10 degrees in stony

risk of a thunderstorm coming in at about 70 chance today that has gone down to about a 40 chance so it looks like we could be getting away with not seeing it but the risk still does exist 30 degrees though on saturday and sunday looking clear now with that sunshine 30 degrees in saskatoon 26 degrees today 26 tomorrow up to 30 degrees on friday again with that sunshine 30 degrees holding steady on

ladies come on fellas what a day come on bring it on in welcome to the kf center for excellence in kelowna bc keisha nova your team number nine which means maestro and dwayne you are the last team to arrive gentlemen i am sorry to tell you this but you have been [00:30:24] Speaker 9: eliminated from the race what made you guys well it took two episodes to do it but as you see a team has finally been eliminated from season 12 of the amazing race canada and this jam is about to get amplified because maestro fresh wes and dwayne d.o gibson were the last to touch the mat in kelowna and they're the first team we get to talk to as they have been eliminated good morning gentlemen [00:30:53] Speaker 29: why do you have to say it like that though what kind of intro is that [00:30:58] Speaker 9: well i'm not sure i will we'll get to the schedule we'll get to the details we'll get to the details of how it all went um let's let's talk about uh kind of how it started though first because this game is pretty tough and uh some rough luck i guess digging through the snowpack in whistler that kind of put you behind before things even really got started can you talk about just how how hard this game is especially if things don't go your way [00:31:31] Speaker 29: yeah i mean my area of expertise as well as dwayne's is music what have you and you know navigating through the wild trying to right now you see me do uh the the sit ski man it was tough these are things that i've never done before in my entire life and and honestly that's one of the reasons why i really wanted to be on the show just to push myself see how far i could go and um yeah as i'm looking at [00:31:56] Speaker 30: myself now it's kind of comical it was it was great this episode the greatest thing i'm reminded of is my saskatchewan roots my grandfather is from star city saskatchewan it's around melfort by prince albert and um when i had to build an irrigation system for the last challenge that was the hardest challenge i had to do but my show will tell you i i went and i did a prayer and i did a prayer to my grandfather jim hill and that's what got me through the mission and i'm so grateful that we were help [00:32:33] Speaker 9: able to help another team star city sports days are some of my greatest memories of my time living in melfort that's amazing all right so you as you said you you you helped that team you you basically sacrificed yourselves to help the gals in front of you duane it looked like you were the one who [00:32:56] Speaker 30: chose this path tell me a little bit more about that decision well just earlier that day maestro did one of the toughest challenges i've ever seen which is doing the skid ski and he did such a remarkable job at first i said there's no way he can do it and then he just goes and does it and i never had any doubt in my job as a partner but for this final challenge um it was an irrigation system and um my uncle he used to work in colonna he was from um well he grew up in saskatoon and uh george hill and i said to myself we got to take it back to the farm and if there's one thing you know about saskatchewan people [00:33:40] Speaker 9: you give us a job and we'll do it and we did it yeah you really did a lot of teams had some really stressful moments how did you guys stay so darn positive and happy and upbeat even though you were behind for for most of the whole thing because i know that there's light at the end of the tunnel and i [00:34:01] Speaker 29: think through our careers we have great reference points of falling down and getting back up falling down again but getting back up again and this is just one of the things it's just another phase of that right here being on the amazing race canada uh season 12 we knew there would be challenges along the way but we just had to figure out a way to to complete those challenges step by step uh the thing that happened with us is man we had slow starts you know and then when we took

watch growing up i [00:34:41] Speaker 30: used to go to prince albert and take the water slides so some days you gotta walk up a long time to get the water slide but um when you go down it's so smooth

broken into with several popular outdoor toys taken and damaged but as damien smith tells us it didn't take long for donations to come in [00:53:10] Speaker 44: megan schmidt opens up a shed full of

group of three or four teenagers climbed the structure jumped into the shed pulled the equipment out and threw it around which [00:53:40] Speaker 45: resulted in many items being broken for us is a lot we only had two wiggle cars to begin with and about five scooters so it's enough of a loss that it you know cuts down the use for the children and they use [00:53:51] Speaker 44: them every single day after posting to social media on friday the center has received several [00:53:56] Speaker 45: donations of new items the response was widespread and immediate and we have more scooters and wiggle

a shed full of fun [00:54:15] Speaker 45: for kids at the daycare and it really showed the children that you know some people do bad things and some people make mistakes but there's way more good

Speaker 2: learning a little bit more about dutch elm disease and how it's impacting the city of regina this morning as we welcome in the manager of parks technical services ashley thompson ashley thank you for being here thanks for having me let's remind people out there what dutch elm disease is so dutch [01:16:15] Speaker 1: elm disease is a fungal infection that affects elm trees doesn't sound fun no no today you're going [01:16:23] Speaker 2: to be hosting an event a media event to take down one of these trees and why is it important to do [01:16:29] Speaker 1: something like that yeah we just want people out there to know that the disease is prevalent in regina and know to look out for the signs and symptoms just how prevalent is it so the last couple years things have really ramped up we had 87 cases last year 85 the year before we've seen 26 positives already this year so it is getting high it's still at a manageable level but we want to keep it that way [01:16:55] Speaker 2: how do we look at our trees and identify that it has been infected with dutch elm disease so we have [01:17:00] Speaker 1: crews out that monitor five days a week they're driving the streets every day looking at all the elms they look for flagging which is wilting on a branch going up but the leaves stay on the tree we'd ask that if residents see anything suspicious that they do call the 777 7000 number we'll send [01:17:18] Speaker 2: crews out to have a look at those is there anything that we're doing to welcome it into the town [01:17:23] Speaker 1: i mean it's probably not intentional yes um so firewood is a big one moving elmwood storing elmwood is a big one uh pruning your tree outside of the uh sorry inside of the pruning band is something else that can spread the disease so yes what are some of the things we can do to prevent it uh once it has dutch is it too late it's too late once it has it it's too late the tree comes down uh right away um but you can keep your tree healthy again don't transport firewood don't store firewood and make sure you're [01:17:53] Speaker 2: not pruning inside of that band if a tree in my yard is infected and you guys come down and take it down [01:17:58] Speaker 1: is there a replacement program am i going to get a new tree um if it is on city property we will replace [01:18:04] Speaker 2: it uh not with an elm but yeah we will if it is on your own property is the cost to the homeowner the [01:18:10] Speaker 1: city will cover the cost of removal uh but not replacement all right and anything else we need to know [01:18:16] Speaker 2: before today's fancy event where you're going to chop down one of these trees in the cellar uh no just [01:18:20] Speaker 1: again please be on the lookout and call if you see

asthma attack so for years families with asthmatic children have often been advised to avoid getting a cat but new research suggests that cats may do the opposite in a study of more than 30 000 children published in frontiers in allergies children with asthma living with cats didn't experience worse asthma symptoms or more asthma attacks than those without a cat flare-ups happened in roughly 33 percent of all kids whether they had a cat or not even the number of cats in the home and their age made no difference while this brings new hope for pet lovers living with asthma it only applies to cats the verdict is still out on how dogs rabbits and other furry friends impact childhood asthma [01:21:02] Speaker 33: with this medical minute i'm melissa adhan health report brought to you in

of specifically so obviously monetary donations [01:22:16] Speaker 32: go the furthest because we can just put it towards whatever need is greatest at the time if you don't want to do that volunteer hours are always good or just in-kind donations so diapers wipes things like essential items that can go into like new underwear socks deodorant things like that or else non-perishable food items for food hampers everything helps every little bit helps [01:22:38] Speaker 31: to get the rest of our community by all right and so for those watching who are interested in donating whether that be monetarily or through items where can they go to do that go to our website or follow [01:22:48] Speaker 32: on our social media pages we try to put out regular posts on what we're actually looking for for in-kind donations but our website has a ton of information as well or reach out to us directly there's contact [01:22:58] Speaker 31: information right on our website all right once again janice

for brent [01:30:41] Speaker 52: crude today hovered around 85 dollars per barrel the price this time last year was 66 dollars and 84 cents per barrel stateside inflation in the united states cooled last month in part because of a dip in gas prices the renewed strikes on key assets by both the u.s and iran in the gulf has been a driving factor behind the rise in oil prices for a second consecutive day it's frustrating it's a little bit scary you know [01:31:09] Speaker 10: because i got a kid that i gotta feed as well they still need to drive so yeah the road ahead for [01:31:17]

pests have become more prevalent it feels like in previous than in previous years hallie mandrick reports [01:31:50] Speaker 53: as many people are trying to enjoy saskatchewan's warmer months and spending more time outside the mosquitoes are also taking advantage of the warmer months we've heard from a few customers who've gone [01:32:01] Speaker 6: up to waskasu and actually came back early kind of abandoned their camping because the bugs were just [01:32:05] Speaker 53: so bad um yeah so we're hearing it's pretty buggy out there over at ebbs source for adventure a local outdoor activity supply store the demand for products that deter mosquitoes is high yeah i've had to restock a [01:32:18] Speaker 6: few times on the the bug shirts for sure the full ones with um for all those people who are going on like multi-day trips they're just needing that protection from the bugs one expert says earlier in the summer [01:32:28] Speaker 53: recent warm and damp conditions did result in more mosquitoes compared to the 10-year average [01:32:34] Speaker 54: before starting to decline well there's a point depending on which week it was we were seven eight times as high as average now i believe we're right about on average the beginning of the uh spring we're actually a little below average um or it's seemingly it's starting to get back to where the average would [01:32:51] Speaker 53: normally be at least saskatoon and it's not just those heading out of the city who have noticed the uptick in pests in a statement from the city of saskatoon it was shared that the city is experiencing a higher than average mosquito presence this year adding quote residents are reminded that mosquitoes can breed in very small amounts of standing water eliminating water from items such as bird baths pet dishes eased troughs tarps old tires and low laying areas can help reduce mosquito populations water that can't be removed should be covered screened or treated if possible to prevent mosquitoes from using it as a habitat minert says she's hopeful that the pests won't stop folks from enjoying the summer [01:33:31] Speaker 6: months yeah i hope that they don't uh just stay home uh and that they try to get out you know you might have to have an early bedtime the bag the bugs come out late at night or like early evening so um get out in the water the water the water there's no bugs usually out on the water get out in your canoe or kayak [01:33:49] Speaker 53: so there's there's ways to get around them hallie mandrick ctv news saskatoon the canadian forces [01:33:56] Speaker 9: snowbirds in your neck of the woods jeremy yeah doing a bit of a flyover it was a quick stop in saskatoon tuesday but it may have given people their last chance to see the tudor jets and their formations before they retire and as ctv's stacy hind tells us hundreds lined up to get an up close look at the [01:34:17] Speaker 55: the iconic team the iconic snowbirds soar over saskatoon moments later hundreds at the saskatchewan aviation museum welcome the team after climbing out of their jets the pilots take time to shake hands with spectators for some the visit brings back childhood memories it was something i saw growing up and it was really [01:34:44] Speaker 36: important that we brought our kids out to see it too it was really awesome my uncle used to take [01:34:48] Speaker 55: the air show and we saw the very first one in moose jaw that they had so it brings back a lot of memories on their way to saskatoon the snowbirds made several low-level passes over communities along highway 11 paying tribute to fallen veterans and those who have served in the canadian armed forces it also gave some spectators their first chance to see the team in person i thought it was pretty cool [01:35:11] Speaker 56: i've never seen anything like it before but it's quite neat to uh to actually see it in person for for the first time because it's like this might be the last time i'll see it first and last so as you [01:35:22] Speaker 55: can see the snowbirds are just making a quick fuel stop in saskatoon giving people what could be their last chance to look at the tudor jets before they retire in may the federal government announced the snowbirds will be temporarily grounded after the 2026 season until their aging tudor jets are replaced with new aircraft for one pilot the tudor's retirement brings mixed emotions i've flown this airplane [01:35:45] Speaker 3: for five years now so i have an attachment to it but you know it's uh it's time following the [01:35:53] Speaker 55: announcement brian swidervich worked to arrange a last-minute stop in saskatoon it warms my heart [01:35:59] Speaker 57: quite frankly uh that the team agreed to to do this because it's the last second changes are not traditionally happening and in the in the sober program so it took some discussion and they agreed [01:36:11] Speaker 55: meanwhile some spectators are urging ottawa to reconsider a petition has been launched and some supporters here are signing postcards to the prime minister in hopes of keeping the snowbirds in the sky for now the team continues its tour with edmonton next on the schedule stacy hein ctv news saskatoon [01:36:32] Speaker 9: well daryl the weather held for the snowbirds yesterday but those storms on the weekend they swept

our morning especially down south in the southeast corner of the province we saw most of that thunderstorm activity and we are likely to be seeing some more thunderstorms today just mainly up north uh now this is a current look out there estevan still seeing some precipitation to start the day into the afternoon hours we do see a lot of that dissipating but the system that we're seeing today is not one large chunk it's all broken up it's very scattered and it's not going to be coming with a lot of rain until the later parts of the day the evening and the overnight hours again you see some of that red and yellow color coming into the north indicating more of that risk of some thunderstorms today a lot of that popping up over in manitoba as well into the evening hours and through until tomorrow morning into tomorrow afternoon we are talking about more of that precipitation falling up north compared to down south by the end of the day today we're seeing about six millimeters for the battlefords about six for estevan as well two millimeters expected for regina and one millimeter of rain expected for saskatoon and moose just some areas right around swift current as you can see closer to the alberta border also going to be seeing quite a bit of rain in terms of the forecast today we are seeing temperatures right around or above the seasonal average in areas around saskatoon the battlefords and prince albert between 26 to 27 degrees other than that though down south we're seeing temperatures fall back to below that seasonal average with that chance of that rain so 22 for regina today 22 in moose jaw 22 in wayburn and 23 in estevan 23 for yorkton and 23 for swift current we're also talking about your smoke forecast today as we do still have some air quality statements in effect in the province so just take a look at your screen if you are very sensitive to the smoke in the air that very likely includes seniors or young children or people with health conditions just be aware that environment canada is warning you to keep your doors [01:42:06] Speaker 2: and windows closed this day in history july 15th 1996 the canadian government agreed to extend benefits to

yes it's a pylon sent by scottish football fans that arrived to a dignitary's welcome at boston's logan airport now pylons are a symbol of scottish football fans are part of a prank they like to pull they put them on top of statues around whatever city that they're in so scottish fans had quite a bit of fun in boston during the group stage as uh scotland played two of their three matches there boston's mayor promising if they do ever visit again this time they won't run out of beer what a scottish moment [01:44:34] Speaker 2: i don't having lived near the area i don't think that would have

john i want to introduce you to carolyn beset it's that we're [01:46:26] Speaker 58: clearly not over the 90s i wanna be down with you so it should come as no surprise that everything old is new again for tick tockers who have discovered a cult favorite workout of the 90s and i literally do it right there in front of my tv victoria murano just started doing tai bow the martial arts cardio workout that exploded in popularity when it went to home video all of that happened before she even [01:46:53] Speaker 42: took her first steps were people just built different back then why was no one drinking water because literally in the workout they were just going no breaks no water i'm like hello what's going on [01:47:04] Speaker 58: murano is one of several 20-somethings who have joined in on this resurgence videos like one shared by elizabeth hope on tick tock have racked up millions of views and hundreds of comments the amount of [01:47:16] Speaker 59: people i got that said oh my god i've been doing with them with my mom i've been doing them in school when i was a kid i forgot about these where can i find these like everyone's like so amped that they're [01:47:27] Speaker 58: back and it's safe to say that no one is more amped than my daughter one day she came to me and said hey [01:47:34] Speaker 60: dad i think you should do a one minute workout on tick tock i go what i said you think people really work out in one minute said yes dad you do a good workout people will do it so i did it and uh it [01:47:46] Speaker 58: went crazy right your daughter was on to something yeah she is billy blanks has gotten so much new interest in the workout that now at 70 years young he just recorded an introductory course for all the [01:48:00] Speaker 60: newcomers all i want to do is show people that it doesn't matter how long the workout is what you put [01:48:05] Speaker 58: into the workouts what you get out and pretty soon he'll have some new help from this newer generation [01:48:11] Speaker 59: i'm going to be able to get certified soon so that's going to be really fun wait certified for [01:48:16] Speaker 58: typo wait you're going to be a certified typo instructor yeah that's the goal that's the goal [01:48:24] Speaker 33: hannah battaw abc news new york health report brought to you in part by seiu west saskatchewan's first health care union [01:48:38] Speaker 20: hi everyone mark row inside the sports center newsroom with your must-see moment from tuesday in fort we head to the mlb all-star game andy paugh has with the grounder up the middle ernie clement with the backhand leaping throw to get him at first a great play from the american league's leading vote getter for your must-see moment today on tsn we have the second semifinal from the fifa world cup with england taking on argentina coverage begins at 2 p.m eastern 11 a.m pacific that's all from the [01:49:07] Speaker 9: sports center newsroom have a great day researchers at the university of saskatchewan are developing a tool that might help ai learn better i am joined now by zooling new one of the people involved in this study good morning good morning thank you for coming on this is uh timely research it helps with an issue with training ia that is known as domain shift can you explain for us what exactly [01:49:51] Speaker 61: domain shift is yeah for sure uh domain shift happens when an ai model learns from one type of data but is later using a different environment a simple example as self-driving cars imagine an ai is trend on videos collected on sunny days in vancouver that it's used on a stony day in saskatoon where the roads and the traffic signs look different even though it's still driving the environment has changed and that can confuse the ai model and we call this domain shift and humans adapt to these changes naturally but ai often doesn't our research is about helping ai adapt to new environments more [01:50:36] Speaker 9: reliably and efficiently yeah okay it makes sense so to combat this you have developed something called learnable motion focused tokenization lmft please explain to us what that means [01:50:52] Speaker 61: yeah so lft is a method that helps ai pay attention to what really matters in the video instead of like analyzing every single detail in every frame it learns to focus on region state where there are meaningful motions is happening like moving pedestrians or cyclists matters more than a building in the background so it tries to discard static backgrounds and repetitive information it's similar to like how people like naturally watch videos we don't study every pixel in the frame we focus on the important actions and this makes the ai both faster and more efficient okay this is brilliant if i'm if i'm getting this [01:51:39] Speaker 9: right um i think one of the biggest problems with ai is that just the computing horsepower that is needed for it to work if this does indeed strip out a lot of the the noise does that lower the amount of [01:51:53] Speaker 61: power that might be needed to to complete the task yeah like exactly like modern ai system often process large amount of information and much of them isn't actually useful for the task so by removing unnecessary information and keeping only like what's important our method reduces the amount of computation like required this means that ai can make decisions more efficiently while maintaining strong accuracy and in the long run like approaches like this could help make ai more practical more efficient energy efficient and easier to deploy on everyday devices like our smartphone rather than like rely on like very [01:52:37] Speaker 9: powerful data centers okay you uh you explain it brilliantly to someone like myself thank you very much congratulations on this work i understand it is getting some high praise across the computing world so and it's being done right here at the u of s uh thank you so much for coming on with us this morning [01:52:59] Speaker 61: yeah yeah yeah yeah indeed like thank you for inviting me like yeah this is like brilliant exciting recognition and i'm very honored uh yeah cvpr like it's like one of the worst leading conferences in computer vision and computer vision and our work was selected to like one of like 18 papers recognized for outstanding efficient uh achievements and it's very rewarding but because it means that improving ai isn't just about making models bigger it's also about making them smarter and more efficient [01:53:33] Speaker 9: yeah thank you for all right thank you very much and congratulations yeah thank you [01:53:54] Speaker 2: welcome back to your morning we begin with developing news this morning the bank of canada has decided to maintain its lending rate the interest rate will stay at 2.25 percent that was expected by many economists the bank of canada expects the canadian economy to improve despite flatline growth over the past 18 months gdp growth was close to zero weaker than the 1.5 percent growth that was projected in april in other news this morning veterinary students from the university of saskatchewan are speaking out this morning about concerns about the future of their wildlife program laura woodward with why [01:54:33] Speaker 62: last summer these young osprey were successfully released back into the wilds after falling from their nest they were brought to the western college of veterinary medicine for treatment the university's teaching hospital provides a special service dedicated to treating wildlife last year the hospital treated about 230 wildlife patients in an email to ctv news the university says it's temporarily closing its zoo exotics and wildlife service until august 17th because of a lack of specialized staffing students fear the temporary pause will become permanent it breaks my heart for the they say the program provides hands-on experience treating injured and orphan wildlife training they say can't be replicated in a classroom or through traditional pet cases we have so many amazing [01:55:27] Speaker 10: specialists and specialty programs that really just help us get a very solid education and i think that our wildlife service is a core part of that that makes the wcdm special more than 600 people have signed an [01:55:39] Speaker 62: online petition urging the university to keep the wildlife service so it really would be a shame to lose it for the animals the public and the students the wildlife rescue society of saskatchewan is grateful for the free vet care the college has provided them for the past 20 years we have a vet college here that's open [01:56:00] Speaker 63: 24 hours a day and handling wildlife for free it's something no one else has in the country and you know i would be very sorry to see it end of course because i'm in the wildlife business but i [01:56:13] Speaker 62: think we'll all get through it the university says it's conducting an extensive review before deciding the future of its zoo exotics and wildlife service laurel woodward ctv news saskatoon [01:56:26] Speaker 2: ai is making it harder to know what's real and what's fake online that is why you have to be careful where you get your information videos on social media often promise ways to get rich quick with no risk but most are scams designed to steal your money ctv's pat foreign reports imagine receiving 35 000 every [01:56:48] Speaker 64: month without hard work without risk without wasting time this is the latest deep fake video going around [01:56:55] Speaker 65: online with prime minister mark carney well it appears he's pitching an investment platform in the house of commons criminals have used ai to create this fake video to scam canadians two months ago i deposited [01:57:08] Speaker 64: just 350 dollars into my account today my balance is seventy thousand dollars it looked exactly like mark [01:57:15] Speaker 65: carney it was mark carney deborah friesen of acton says last year she was watching craft videos online when an ad popped up that appeared to be the prime minister speaking about an investment opportunity he [01:57:28] Speaker 66: said i'm really trying to help out my canadian uh people by helping them to make extra money on this [01:57:37] Speaker 65: trading platform friesen was scammed out of thirteen thousand dollars later she was contacted again by someone who called her every day for months she took another chance and was scammed out of seventy thousand [01:57:50] Speaker 66: and then he disappeared i fell apart i uh i couldn't stop crying [01:57:57] Speaker 65: it's so frustrating so devastating judy skein saw fake mark carney video on facebook she invested and was scammed out of nine hundred thousand dollars all my money was gone [01:58:09] Speaker 28: Do not ever invest on anything or in any situation that arises out of social media. [01:58:18] Speaker 65: Cyber security experts recommend reaching out to people you trust before making any investment decisions or large purchases. [01:58:26] Speaker 28: Make sure that in your family you have one, two or three people that you have on speed dial and you can call them immediately. [01:58:33] Speaker 65: Be very cautious with any video seeking your money and know with AI creating deep fakes is getting easier and they're becoming more realistic. [01:58:45] Speaker 2: Believe it or not, we're going to talk about Halloween right now. Retailers unveiling their products months ahead of time. Sam Champion reports. [01:58:53] Speaker 67: It might feel gaslight. [01:58:55] Speaker 68: Baby, at home has their Halloween stuff already out. I don't care about July. [01:58:59] Speaker 67: It might feel witchy. [01:59:01] Speaker 10: So it's socially acceptable to celebrate Halloween. Let's go. [01:59:03] Speaker 67: But this morning, even with summer heating up, stores across the country are already scaring up big Halloween business. Shoppers joining in the delight and fright on social media. Screaming out what they call code orange alerts with every new drop in haunted hall. Posts on TikTok up 253% in the last month. [01:59:25] Speaker 68: I think consumers are looking for the fun of Halloween and retailers are responding to that. [01:59:30] Speaker 67: This early start to spooky season comes as the summer wean trend is hitting new heights this year. Up more than 220% in the last month. And brands are looking to capitalize on the excitement going bigger than ever. Literally. Like Lowe's with new animatronic offerings for your front yard. Or if you're feeling crafty, Michael's rolling out six different sets of Halloween decor, its most expansive assortment ever. And Bath & Body Works has scary scents. I think I couldn't miss this. While Five Below has you covered to get your booze on a budget. You can even find Halloween items where you may not expect them. [02:00:08] Speaker 68: There's a code orange here at Ikea. [02:00:10] Speaker 67: That's right, even Ikea's in the mix with their own collection. [02:00:13] Speaker 68: Gen Z and even Gen Alpha. These are the kids under 14. Clicks, their shares, their saves are training feeds. And they've been engaging with Halloween content all year round. [02:00:26] Speaker 2: Well, listen, that's early, isn't it? This just feels early. It's 8.37. Let's talk baseball. The Brooks Bombers blasted the Regina Red Sox last night. Brady Buys' home run helped. That was in the second. Tied things up at four. But the Bombs squad scored four in the seventh, four more in the eighth. Ran away with it. Broke the game wide open. They win 17-9 last night at Curry Field. These two teams will do it all over again tonight. First pitch goes at 7 o'clock. The Bombers had a kid from Regina pitching for them last night. Keely, and he was phenomenal. [02:00:55] Speaker 4: Really? And, again, are they letting you come back to do? [02:00:58] Speaker 2: No. No, I think I'm banned from the ballpark now. [02:01:00] Speaker 4: That's okay. That's all right. We've all been there. [02:01:03] Speaker 2: You got to cheer for your hometown, especially when their record isn't the best. [02:01:07] Speaker 4: Let's turn our attention over to the Weather Center now. I know we were just talking about Halloween in news. It's not feeling like Halloween out there.

You could be seeing them gusting up to about 35 kilometers per hour, and all those areas lighting up in blue. Other than that, though, down through the southeast corner of the province, where we're seeing that little bit of yellow, that is going to be quite a bit more gusty. We're going to be seeing those winds surpassing 60 kilometers per hour for parts of the morning. Current temperatures now. We're seeing the warm-up happening. 21 degrees now in La Ronge and South End. 19 in Prince Albert and Nippawin. 19 as well in Spiritwood, Melfort, and Hudson Bay.

Seven-day forecast showing that we are going to be seeing a bit more of that sunshine tomorrow in Regina. Up to 24 degrees. And a very hot and sunny Friday on the way for many parts of the province. 29 for Regina. 30 degrees on Saturday. Yesterday, we were talking about that risk of some thunderstorms on Saturday. It was a bit higher yesterday. We were looking at about 70%. Now that has dropped today. The chance of some thunderstorms on Saturday now looking at about 40%. And Sunday looking to be very bright and sunny at 30 degrees. In Saskatoon, 26 degrees tomorrow. 30 degrees on Friday. Again, very hot and sunny. 30 degrees on Saturday with that higher chance of seeing some of those thunderstorms there. That also continues through Sunday and Monday in Saskatoon as well. Temperatures still looking very nice though around that average or slightly above. 28 on Sunday. 25 on Monday. And 27 on Tuesday. Expecting that mix of sun and cloud. [02:03:36] Speaker 24: I'm Michael Couture in Ottawa tonight on CTV National News. The cost of extreme weather. [02:03:41] Speaker 55: The severe weather is getting more frequent. [02:03:46] Speaker 24: From floods to fires. What all the natural hazards across the country mean for home insurance premiums. Tonight on CTV National News and CTV News.ca. [02:03:58] Speaker ?: Wow. [02:04:01] Speaker 4: Well, summer break is a time to rest and recharge. But for many families, it can quickly become a balancing act between kids craving fun and parents trying to maintain some semblance of routine. Today we're talking about how to set realistic expectations for summer with Judy Wright from Gateways Counseling. Welcome back. [02:04:18] Speaker 69: Hi, Kaylee. Welcome to YouTube. [02:04:20] Speaker 4: Well, thank you. Let's talk about setting those expectations. What are some expectations that need to be set for the summer for parents and for kids? [02:04:28] Speaker 69: Yeah, well, kids kind of blow into the summer and they're glad to be out of school. So they're looking for fun and excitement. They want to be entertained. Whereas parents, on the other hand, are looking for a way of how can we kind of manage some of this and maybe some learning opportunities. Yeah, to sort of help the kids through the summer. [02:04:46] Speaker 4: So let's get everybody on the same page. How do we bring some of those expectations together? [02:04:51] Speaker 69: Well, I think understanding our roles, understanding some of the purposes of things and communicating that to our kids. So parents, we want to, of course, have our kids have fun in the summer. But we also want to help them to work through those periods where they're bored or things aren't so fun, maybe learn some things. And we have to understand that childhood and adolescence are actually a growing ground for adulthood. And the lessons that we're kind of helping them through are to help them through to grow into adulthood in a good way. So we want to provide that through effective parenting and also providing some good adult role models. [02:05:26] Speaker 4: And some ways to achieve this include setting a schedule. It's not exactly what a lot of kids want to hear in the summer, but it can definitely help. How so? [02:05:36] Speaker 69: Well, two things that happen without a schedule is inertia and boredom. So kids fall out of school, fall out of their activities in the summertime and then plop. And so then we're going to face all of that inertia and boredom. So having those schedules and often at the end of summer, parents will often say, Hey, I'm really glad we're getting back to normal because we're getting back into schedule. So schedules are really effective to help that. [02:06:02] Speaker 4: All right. So we only have about a minute left, but let's talk about some of those ways that parents can actually guide their children through the summer to help learn these lessons. [02:06:09] Speaker 69: So we want to be collaborative and there are about three areas that we can help our kids focus on. One is with the common good. So that would be in the home and with volunteering. And so we want to help our kids in areas that they don't get too pushing back too much. We want to help them to learn. So we want to have some timeframes. So if you give some kids things to do, you want to have about five to 10 minutes for a kid that's about seven. You want to have about 15 to 25 minutes for someone that's eight to 10. And over 10, bridging that is about 25 to 45 minutes. And maybe selecting an area in the home that they could be responsible for, but don't let them get too upset with it. Movement is really important because over the summer, kids tend to gain weight. So we can do that collaborative with the kids, go out and do walks together, maybe bike rides. And then we want to keep up the education with them and learning because there's that summer slide. And if they go back in the fall, if they haven't been kind of working on their brains a bit, they can not be as effective. So, yeah, but make it fun. You know, maybe it's a recipe you're putting together to do the math skills or maybe it's going to the science center or something like that. [02:07:26] Speaker 4: Thank you so much for your time. Judy Wright helping us find that balancing act with our kids this summer. [02:07:33] Speaker ?: Thank you. [02:07:39] Speaker 70: We often hear about cold games in football, but this one was one of the warmest. On July 28, 2007, the Riders played host to Edmonton with a game time temperature of 34 degrees. It's tied for the second warmest game time temperature for a rider home game on record. And the heat didn't seem to bother the Rough Riders. The Green Machine scored 34 points in the first half, including two touchdowns from Matt Dominguez. The special teams also stepped up in the form of a blocked punt return by Kyle Mitchell. Kerry Joseph also got a touchdown as well. Everything was going right for Saskatchewan, who cruised to victory over their division rivals, winning 54-14. Perhaps a sign of things to come, as later that year, the Riders would go on to win their third Grey Cup in franchise history and host a parade where temperatures were much, much cooler. And if you want to check out more classic sports moments from the days of Wolko and Woodfinish televisions, you can check them out on our website. [02:08:44] Speaker 9: All right, let's find out how a summer donation slump is impacting Carmichael Outreach with Janelle Lipai with ways we can support the essential services being provided. [02:08:56] Speaker 31: Good morning. I'm joined once again by Janice Miller with Carmichael Outreach. Now, Janice, it has been a little bit of a tough go with funds lately. And now as we're getting into the summer, it might slip somebody's mind as they're enjoying all of these summer activities to maybe donate a little bit of money. Is that right? [02:09:13] Speaker 32: Yeah. So lots of nonprofits, they all experience kind of a bit of a lull in the summer. It's not that we are forgotten or people don't think the need exists. It's just that people are busy with other plans or your kids are off school, so you're wanting to spend some time with them. But the need doesn't ever go away in the community. So we're just asking if people can give a little extra support right now, even a recurring donation where you just set it and leave it and it's $10 or whatever out of your account every month. It makes a huge difference to provide some stability. [02:09:42] Speaker 31: All right. So those donations have been coming in. People have been thinking about it. A little bit of a thank you going out to them as well. [02:09:49] Speaker 32: Yeah. So, so far we are quite overwhelmed with the amount of support we've received. We've always known, and as someone who's lived in the community, we know that Regina always pulls together to support and lift each other up when times are hard. And we are so grateful for all of the support we've received so far. But if we can just keep the momentum going, that stability will help provide some care long-term for a lot of the people that need and depend on us. [02:10:13] Speaker 31: And keeping that momentum going is very important. And so for those watching and interested, where can they go to donate? [02:10:19] Speaker 32: So if you go to our website, karmacaloutreach.ca, you can go there. We've got lots of information about what items we're needing, any volunteer information. You can set up a monthly donation or just a one-time donation. There's also information about the programs and services that we do, but also follow along on social media because we're always doing posts there about just tremendous things happening in the community. All right, Janice, thank you so much for spending the morning with me. Thank you so much, and thank you to Regina and everyone who's donated so far and anyone who's going to. We really appreciate it. [02:10:49] Speaker 31: All right, well, once again, that is Carmichael Outreach. Whether it is monetarily, through items as well, any donation is always appreciated. [02:10:59] Speaker 71: Greetings, everyone. Technology is always evolving, and the next gadget is always around the corner. But radio communication is something that has been used for decades and is still being used daily across the country. Four radio stations in northern Saskatchewan just received federal funding to keep residents up-to-date in a variety of indigenous languages. The Cree language is being broadcast right now to over 70 communities in Saskatchewan. One of the unique features at NBC Radio intended to retain language and culture. [02:11:40] Speaker 72: We broadcast in our languages, but also to tell our stories in our languages, in our dialect, in our way, our way of thinking. [02:11:47] Speaker 71: It was based on that mission. The Missanipi Broadcasting Corporation, alongside three other indigenous radio stations, have received $1.8 million in federal funding over the next two years. The money will go towards the protection and enhancement of indigenous languages and cultures. Cree broadcaster Vince Matawaggin says there is a unique tie between the language and environment only found in northern Saskatchewan. [02:12:10] Speaker 43: The Cree language is intrinsically tied with the land. You cannot separate the land and the Cree. If you grew up in town, like in town, that's all you ever knew, you'll probably only know about 60 percent. [02:12:24] Speaker 71: Cree programming on NBC started over 40 years ago. Since then, it has gradually grown, with one hour dedicated to Cree and another hour strictly Dene. Language use also happens throughout the day. Charles says radio is still a valuable communication tool and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. [02:12:40] Speaker 72: You look at the Kokum and Mushrooms that rely on us, the people in the traplines that rely on radio to this day for their source of information. It's their way out to the world, especially the languages. We need to keep that focus. [02:12:59] Speaker 71: The funding was provided by the Department of Canadian Heritage for programming suited to meet the needs and realities of Indigenous communities of northern Saskatchewan.

[02:13:29] Speaker 9: Good news about the love of the game and working hard to make your dreams come true. [02:13:46] Speaker 74: They say money can't buy happiness, but in this moment, it sure seems like it did for 10-year-old Valentino Sanabria Serna. A soccer super fan who's been playing since age two. I always saw those fans in the stadium and I wanted to be part of that atmosphere. When he watched the last World Cup, he set his own goal to get there himself in 2026. [02:14:17] Speaker 68: He's like, I'm going to start waking up early to make my bed and I'm going to help take out the trash and do the dishes. I was like, okay, well, if you do all those chores, you'll get paid. And if you have enough money, then you can go. [02:14:28] Speaker 74: So, little by little, at a rate of $2 a day. $2. 2022. Valentino worked and saved to turn his dream into a reality. How do I? How do I get on it all? Buying tickets for him and his mom to watch his favorite team in Miami. She does everything for me. So, it was good that I could do something for her. Sometimes it's even better when they get those things for themselves with their own hard work. It's just so much more rewarding. Valentino's hoping to do the same for the next World Cup and maybe someday play in one. Having learned, after all, hard work pays off. [02:15:07] Speaker 8: I think that even your age, nothing's impossible. And I think that if you put your mind to it, you can do it. [02:15:19] Speaker 50: After 52 weeks with $520, he's pretty high up there. Yeah. Looks like he probably did. Yeah, no kidding. I thought maybe, first story started, I thought maybe mom kicked in a couple bucks. I think the math, math, I think he did it. [02:15:30] Speaker 4: I mean, dedicated kid. [02:15:32] Speaker 2: Yeah. And you should always just clean your room and do stuff for your parents. That's just nice. That's true. You love marine animals. [02:15:48] Speaker 4: I do. You don't often see this on Vancouver Island. It's a long-beaked common dolphin. It was spotted near Esperanza Inlet. The sighting left researchers surprised since this type of dolphin is rarely seen north of California. Since this video surfaced, the Marine Education and Research Society says it has been alerted to more sightings around Vancouver Island. [02:16:14] Speaker 2: Just came to check out Canada. [02:16:16] Speaker 4: Look at how beautiful it is. [02:16:18] Speaker 50: I came to check out our beautiful waters. [02:16:20] Speaker 4: Gorgeous. [02:16:21] Speaker 50: Jeremy, what do you have for us? [02:16:23] Speaker 9: All right, so most of the sport world's attention was on the FIFA World Cup. But let us not forget that the 53rd World P-Shooting Championship was also going on. [02:16:36] Speaker 75: Oh, it's such an honor to be a champion. [02:16:38] Speaker ?: Oh, it's such an honor to be a champion. [02:16:38] Speaker 75: You have to select your peas very carefully. They need to be very round. And you have to hold your pea shooter very steadily. That is the secret. [02:16:46] Speaker 9: Now you know, that's the secret. The English village of Whitcomb in Cambridgeshire hosted the event over the weekend. The rules state shooters must stand 3.7 meters away from the target, which is coated with wet putty. Shooters get to shoot five dried peas at the target, a bullseye's five points. Middle ring gets three and the outer ring gets one. And you have to have precision and accuracy and well-rounded peas, steady puffs, and the wind. [02:17:16] Speaker 2: Well, I think I have a lot to say, but I should mind my peas and cues.
