Canadian high school footballers cross U.S. border to play alongside American teammates
High school students from small towns of Sunburst, Montana, and Milk River, Alberta, have joined forces and are uniting fans from both countries.
A devastating fire at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright claimed the lives of at least four soldiers and left 39 others in critical condition, Canadian officials reported on Sunday. The fire, which ignited around 4 p.m. MDT on Saturday, began as a smoldering grass fire in the base's training area. High winds, reaching speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, fueled the flames.
Major General Wade Rutland, commander of 1st Canadian Division, described the fire as an uncommon and rapid event, stating that he'd never witnessed such a situation. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney characterized the fire as one of the worst peacetime tragedies for Canada's armed forces on home soil, ordering flags at federal buildings across the country to be lowered to half-staff in honor of the fallen soldiers.
