Episode Description

Its a tense day for the residents of Lytton. B.C. officials say the wildfire burning south of the village grew to seven square kilometres overnight. Dozens of properties are under an evacuation order - and some residents of Lytton First Nation have also been ordered to leave.


Also: Heavy rainfall and severe flash flooding has devastated parts of Montreal and other areas in southern Quebec. A series of thunderstorms closed streets, damaged homes, and left thousands without power. And the forecast shows more rain is coming later this week. 


And: From sunrise ceremonies to traditional games, communities across Canada are gathering to celebrate the 30th National Indigenous Peoples Day. We'll take you through some of the events and messages delivered in honour of the culture and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Metis people.


Plus: Parliament's summer break, "New France" demonstrations, Bison return to roam in Star Blanket Cree nation, and more.
