Summer is my favourite time of year. It’s the season of impromptu get-togethers. And if your family is anything like mine, “a little heads up” usually means a text that says, “Can we come over? We’re already in the driveway?” – not kidding!

The BBQ Basics That Never Let Me Down

Canada Day has a funny way of growing. You invite a few people, they bring a few more, and suddenly you’re wondering if you have enough buns. Honestly… that’s summer.

Good food doesn’t have to be complicated. Burgers (plus a meatless option), fresh tomatoes, soft buns, chips, ketchup, and lots of paper towels are really all you need. I love that Walmart’s Great Value line makes it easy to feed a crowd without spending a fortune.

I’ve learned that great summer hosting isn’t really about the burgers or the chips. It’s the little things that make everything easier. A good set of BBQ tools. A grill brush. A meat thermometer, so you’re not standing there cutting into every burger asking, “Do you think this one’s done?”

I love that I can order those everyday extras right along with everything else. They’re easy to forget… until you need them. And thanks to Walmart+, I can spend less time tracking down the little things and more time enjoying summer.

Whatever Summer Looks Like for You 

Summer looks a little different for everyone. Maybe it’s your first summer with a grandbaby, so you’re making sure there are swim diapers and baby formula waiting when they arrive. Or maybe you’re heading to the cottage and want everything there before you are.

For me, with three kids away at university, it’s the texts that say, “Mom… we’re out of toothpaste.” Or toilet paper. Or laundry detergent. Apparently, adulthood still comes with a call to Mom.

That’s why I love Walmart+. Whether I’m stocking the cottage, sending essentials to one of the kids, or getting my own house ready for guests, I can have what I need delivered where I need it.

At the end of the day, summer isn’t about having the perfect backyard, the perfect BBQ, or checking everything off your to-do list. It’s about saying yes to last-minute visits, spending time with the people you love, and making the most of those long summer days. If I can spend less time running errands and more time making those memories, that’s a summer well spent.

Ready to make summer hosting a little easier? Sign up for Walmart+ here.

June is Deafblind Awareness Month, a time to support and learn, while celebrating the community.

Ryan Riehl is a deafblind person in Saskatchewan. He won awards in waterskiing and likes to keep himself busy. He recalls when he first took up the sport.

“It was kind of amazing. Within probably a week, two weeks, I was up skiing by myself.”

Riehl had an injury to his back and isn’t able to water ski anymore. Now, he paints, mostly sunsets.

“It’s finding things to keep busy, you can’t just… go on the phone and call a friend.”

“My mother got me into painting. She thought I could do it and be able to put images that I see in my head onto canvas. So, I started to paint and an image that I remember when I could see really well, was a sunset. And I thought they were really beautiful to be able to see sunsets and trees.”

As a nine-year-old, Riehl had a tumor on his optic nerve. Then in his 30’s, he started to go deaf. Doctors couldn’t explain it.

More than 600,000 people in Canada over the age of 15 identify as deafblind. This month is about creating understanding and awareness for the community.

“Awareness is important because it helps people understand the deaf-blind community. It reduces barriers and there’s lots of different avenues for miscommunication, misconceptions, but this allows for inclusivity in the community,” said Patricia Spicer.

Spicer, who is deafblind herself, works with deafblind people as a vocational counselor and early childhood and family services worker. She says there are many misconceptions about the community.

“Many people think people in the Deafblind community are fully deaf and fully blind. That’s not true. A lot of people think that deaf-blind people can’t communicate. That’s also not true. A lot of people think deafblind people can’t live independently or that they can’t hold a job, but they can.”

Spicer says people can help end the month by taking time to learn and educate themselves about the community, while being supportive.

“It’s important to have an open heart and realize that people in the Deafblind community have all these possibilities and can do it. It’s really important to just learn about the community as a whole.”

“It’s important that everybody knows that we’re out there. You might not see or hear us a lot, but we’re out there,” said Riehl.

The City of Regina will light up the City Hall with blue lights June 26-28, in recognition of Deafblind Awareness Month.

Watch the video above for more on why this month is important and how you can help support.

Laura Greaves, a veterinarian at Sherwood Animal Clinic in Regina, is no stranger to uncommon pets, but she recently became known for a rather special pairing.

Having lived on her farm for just over a year, she’s already accumulated more than twenty animals, including horses, guinea pigs, alpacas and a llama.She saw a need for another llama after one of the farm alpacas became pregnant. Hoping to find a llama to guard the herd, Greaves discovered Maple from an ad on Kijiji. Greaves said it’s quite uncommon to find llamas in the area – the animal came with some challenges.

Greaves, alongside her friend Jaquie Poole, adopted Maple, a six-year-old llama that was missing an eye and was severely emaciated.

“That took us a little while to figure out what she likes to eat and start to work on getting some weight back on her and then she went blind on us completely about three weeks ago now,” says Greaves.

Without her sight, Maple struggled to adjust. She was often spit on by the other llama and the alpacas for unknowingly bumping into them.

Greaves decided it was best to separate Maple from the others and grappled with what to do next.

“She was like, ‘Is Maple gonna make it through surgery? Is it fair for her?’ and I was like, ‘You know what, let’s give her a chance,’” says Poole.

Greaves searched for a companion that Maple could rely on, which led her to Bo Peep, a vocal sheep with freckles on her face.

The three-year-old sheep settled into Maple’s life as a guide, her frequent noises keeping Maple grounded and oriented. Greaves says on windy nights, Maple often paces around in stress, but Bo Peep’s calls calm the completely blind llama.

What started simply as an attempt to include a herd guardian turned into a strong bond between two rather unlikely companions.

After the story of the animals was shared online, the feedback was strong and people were excited to learn more about the duo. Poole says this is just a regular occurrence in their life on the farm.

“Everyone thinks it’s this adorable story and our husbands are like, ‘This is truly just a normal day dealing with them.’”

Now with 24 animals on the farm and a new alpaca on the way, there’s never a dull day for Greaves and her friends.

Four people have been rescued from the waters off the coast of Greater Vancouver after a massive search was launched Sunday near Sea Island in British Columbia.

In a statement, the B.C. RCMP say that a charter boat sank off the coast of Richmond and that it’s believed ten people were on board the vessel when it began taking on water near Roberts Bank around 11:45 a.m. Sunday.

The search is ongoing approximately 10 nautical miles (18 km) southwest of Vancouver International Airport.

The Canadian Armed Forces says its Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Victoria was notified by a civilian vessel of several people in the Strait of Georgia without personal flotation devices.

A CH-149 Cormorant helicopter and CC-295 Kingfisher aircraft from 19 Wing Comox, alongside the Canadian Coast Guard’s Hovercraft Siyay, and Main Lifeboat Station Ganges, were all dispatched.

The Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Auxiliary stations 6, 7 and 8 were also sent to conduct a rescue and search for more people.

Mounties say two boats from West Coast Marine Services are assisting, along with two helicopters, an RCMP Black Hawk and an H145 Airbus.

Passenger ferries from BC Ferries and Hullo Ferries were also diverted from their normal operations between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland to help in the search.

As of Sunday night, four people have been taken to hospital for medical treatment, while police confirm six people remain missing.

The cause for the vessel’s sinking is not known and is under investigation.

Here’s how most of us Canadians handle summer bugs: we swat at the one mosquito we can see, light a citronella candle that does approximately nothing, and douse ourselves in spray just to sit on our own deck, all while complaining the entire time about how ‘the bugs haven’t been this bad in years’.

The good news is that bug season is one of those problems where a few smart tools beat a lot of effort. These are the nine that really, truly work. Some stop pests at the source, some handle a full-on invasion, and some just quietly work in the background so you can stop thinking about them and, you know, enjoy the summer. Read on to discover top finds from Thermacell, TERRO, Coghlan and more.

Stop mosquitoes before they ever fly 

Did you know that the mosquitoes ruining your evening hatched last week, in standing water you didn’t know you had (think: a plant saucer, the kids’ sand-and-water table, a clogged gutter, the rain barrel). So the smartest move is to treat the standing water so those larvae don’t have a chance. To do this, drop a Mosquito Dunk into any standing water and it kills the larvae for about a month before they can take off. The active ingredient is Bti, a naturally occurring bacterium that targets only mosquito and black fly larvae, meaning it’s safe around pets, fish, birds, and bees. You can break a dunk into smaller pieces for small water sources, or even soak one and pour that water over your indoor and outdoor plants.

 

 

Throw up an invisible shield

Citronella candles and skin spray are what everyone grabs, and both disappoint (and stink, might I add!). Instead, build yourself a bubble. The Thermacell repeller creates a 20-foot scent-free, DEET-free zone around wherever you’re sitting, meaning no smoke, no smell, nothing on your skin, and it runs on little refills you swap as needed. Now here’s one thing you need to remember: turn it on about 15 minutes before everyone sits down so the zone has time to fill. Switching it on once you’re already swatting is too late.[/product_listing]

 

Let the light do the work, both indoors and out

For the flyers that sneak inside like fruit flies over the fruit bowl, gnats, the odd housefly, moth or mosquito, the STEM Flying Insect Light Trap is my silent star. It plugs into the wall and uses a soft blue light to pull insects onto a hidden sticky cartridge: no zapping, no spray, no touching bugs. I have one running at home; I leave it out every spring and summer, and I’ll be honest: swapping a full cartridge is equal parts satisfying and deeply horrifying. For the patio, its cordless cousin, the STEM Flying Insect Zapper sits on the table or hangs from a hook, throws light in every direction, and zaps on contact. It works best after dark, so think of it as your evening routine bug-management tool.

 

 

Outsmart the two worst party crashers

Every summer gathering has two uninvited guests: wasps dive-bombing the food, and the ant highway that materializes on your counter or floor overnight. A reusable RESCUE! W·H·Y trap lures up to 18 species of stinging insects, including four species of paper wasps, bald-faced hornets, and European hornets, and 12 species of yellow jackets with food bait to bring them in. It doesn’t trap bees, so you don’t need to worry about your flowers. And there’s no killing agent involved, just a two-stage trap that they can’t leave once they enter. Hotel California for pests, if you will.

Now for ants, skip the spray and set out a TERRO liquid bait. The workers carry it back and share it with the colony, which takes out the nest you can’t even see. Give it a few days and you’ll notice the population seriously thin out. Buh-bye now!

 

 

Suit up when you’re headed into the thick of it

Sometimes you’re walking into bug territory on purpose, whether it’s weeding at dusk, hanging on the dock, or cooking dinner at the campsite. For that, I suggest wearing a mesh bug suit, which consists of bungee-corded pants and jacket. Now, let’s be clear: this does indeed look completely ridiculous, but if you want a 100% preventive measure against bug and tick bites, this is your answer. The jacket and pants pull right over your clothes, there are zero chemicals involved, and I wear mine for yard work (regardless of what my neighbors think!).  It is truly freeing not to think about bites or ticks for once.

 

 

And for when one gets you anyway

No system is perfect, so here’s the one for the aftermath. A friend used the Bug Bite Thing on me a few months ago, and I was genuinely shocked. It’s a little suction tool that pulls the saliva or venom back out from under your skin, so your body stops reacting (aka no itching!).  It works on bites and on bee and wasp stings; it’s chemical-free, and it’s safe for kids. Just pop it on and use it as soon as you can after the bite.

Pick the two or three that match your worst bug problem, and you’ll spend a lot less of this summer swatting and a lot more of it actually enjoying being outside.

Fans across the country joyfully roared for Canada after it beat South Africa 1-0 in a nail-biting FIFA World Cup knockout stage match in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.

At FIFA Fan Festivals in Toronto and Vancouver, fans jumped in the air, hugged and hollered as Stephen Eustaquio scored in stoppage time to vault the Canadians through to the round of 16.

In Montreal, fans watching the game outside cafés and bars clapped and started singing “Ole!” as Canadian players celebrated their win on the field.

Canada got a boost in the 75th minute when captain Alphonso Davies came on for Tajon Buchanan, marking the first time the Bayern Munich star has played in the tournament.

Canada will next face the winner of a round-of-32 matchup between the Netherlands and Morocco in Houston on July 4.

Many Canadians have supported their team at every step of the tournament so far, packing both BC Place and Toronto Stadium, turning roads into rivers of red-and-white flags and spending hours outside hotels to catch a glimpse of the players.

Families watched in shock as a skydiving plane carrying their loved ones on what was meant to be a thrilling introduction to parachuting crashed in northeastern France on Sunday, killing all 11 people on board, authorities said.

The dead included five parachuting instructors, five novice jumpers and the pilot, Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said. Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot said it was France’s biggest aviation accident involving skydiving in about 30 years.

“Some of the victims’ families witnessed the aircraft falling with their own eyes. So there is tremendous emotion and an even greater psychological trauma,” Nunez said.

He refused to speculate on what caused the crash but said the plane dropped out of the sky suddenly. He said it had just taken off from the Nancy-Essey airfield on the outskirts of the city of Nancy when it came down about 300 meters (yards) from the runway.

Yves Séguy, prefect of the Meurthe-et-Moselle region, said the plane suffered a malfunction and “fell almost vertically,” narrowly missing a built-up area.

“Had it occurred just a few dozen meters away, the accident could have caused collateral casualties,” he said.

The plane banked to the left after takeoff and crashed less than a minute later near houses, according to the flight tracking service Flightradar24.

Police cordoned off the crumpled wreckage.

Flight tracking sites identified the plane as a single-engine Pilatus PC-6, a small transporter of freight, passengers and skydivers.

The parachutists were to have jumped as tandems, Nancy Mayor Mathieu Klein told public broadcaster France Info. Tandem jumps are skydiving experiences where two people, often an instructor and a novice jumper, are attached together for the descent.

Emergency services responded immediately and were providing psychological support to victims’ relatives, officials said. The Paris prosecutor’s office is leading the crash probe, Nunez said.

A resident, identified as John Curaku by BFM-TV, told the broadcaster that he was in his yard when he heard what sounded like a plane’s engine stopping, immediately followed by a bang.

He said he went to the crash site and “there were no signs of life,” with two of the bodies thrown a few meters (yards) from the plane.
