Environment Canada issued a yellow cold warning for wind chills of -30 to -35 in London, Kitchener and Windsor on Saturday night into Sunday morning. 

Wind chill values of -30 C may return to some parts of the region Sunday night into Monday morning.

Kitchener is under an additional yellow advisory for blowing snow and strong wind gusts of 40 to 60 km/h. Visibility may be reduced in Kitchener, the weather agency added.

London is also under a yellow snow squall warning. Environment Canada said there may be nearly 10 centimetres or locally higher additional snowfall amounts.

This comes after an orange blizzard warning was in place for London, Huron and Middlesex Counties, as well as eastern Lambton County on Friday.

On Saturday, Ontario Provincial Police declared a significant event for Lambton County due to the harsh conditions.

In a news release, the OPP said the severe winter weather was causing “hazardous” and “impassable” road conditions across the region. Provincial police is urging the public to avoid all non-essential travel, respect road closures and use alternate routes where possible.

“The Lambton County Roads Department and emergency services are actively working to clear roadways and safely remove stranded vehicles,” OPP said. “However, these efforts require careful coordination and may take time due to ongoing weather and road conditions.”

Anyone who gets stuck on a roadway is asked to remain inside their vehicle, run their engine periodically, not continuously, and add extra clothing layers for warmth.

OPP added if travel is necessary, motorists should ensure their vehicle has adequate fuel and lights, avoid sudden maneuvers and adjust speed and following distance according to road conditions.

In a post to social media Saturday afternoon, the OPP listed the following road closures:

• Highway 21 from Amberley to Port Elgin.
• Bruce Road 3 from Paisley to Highway 21.
• Ilderton Road from Denfield Road, Ilderton.
• Towerline Road from Muir Road to Oxford Road 14.

“The OPP recognizes that prolonged road closures can be challenging and frustrating,” it said in Saturday’s release. “Public safety remains the top priority, and cooperation from motorists helps ensure roadways can be reopened safely and efficiently.”

Five people were taken to hospital after a fire in Winnipeg’s West End on Saturday morning, including three in critical condition.

Firefighters were called to a fire at a home on Agnes Street, between St. Matthews and Ellice avenues, at 9:42 a.m., the city said in a news release. 

Crews found heavy flames and smoke when they arrived.

Seven people were assessed by paramedics at the scene, the city said. Three were taken to hospital in critical condition, while another two were hospitalized in stable condition. 

Two other people did not need to be taken to hospital, according to the release. 

Firefighters also evacuated people inside the two neighbouring houses as a precaution. Displaced residents were given temporary shelter on a Winnipeg Transit bus, the city says.

The fire was declared under control just after 2:30 p.m.

Officials said the cause of the fire, which caused significant damage to the home, is under investigation. 

Melissa O’Regan, who lives a few houses away, said she woke up on Saturday morning to crews attacking the fire with water while officials’ vehicles surrounded the block. 

She watched nervously as firefighters spent hours battling the blaze.

“It’s scary, because it could have been us,” she said. “If it [the fire] had jumped the back alley, it’s only one house in between us, basically.” 

O’Regan said she hopes her neighbours who were taken to hospital are OK.

The Windrush commissioner has warned of a “hurry for justice” as more victims of the scandal die without redress, while stakeholders call for a public inquiry and legislative changes amid fears that a Reform government could stall progress toward justice.

Speaking on the sidelines of a people’s inquiry symposium for those affected by the Windrush scandal, Rev Clive Foster said action was needed “now” to deliver justice for those British residents whose lives were upended after being wrongly classified as illegal immigrants.

“Whether the political landscape as we see it or not, I think the duration is long enough and that of itself is the motivation that we should be moving forward for justice,” said Foster, a pastor from Nottingham whose parents came to the UK from Jamaica in 1959, and who was appointed to oversee the government’s response to the scandal.

“We are sadly losing many of that generation who suffered and time is not on our side. I am a man in a hurry for justice,” he added.

The second people’s inquiry symposium, held in north London on Saturday, brought together survivors, campaigners and advocates intent on establishing pathways to justice with victims’ voices at the forefront, while continuing to press the government to launch a statutory public inquiry into the scandal.

The Windrush scandal was brought to public attention through investigative reporting by the Guardian in 2017, which revealed thousands of legal UK residents to be mistakenly labelled as immigration offenders. Government schemes providing immigration status and compensation to those affected have since granted 17,000 people documentation and 2,600 of 8,800 claims have received compensation payments as of July 2024.

Six months into Foster’s appointment, the Labour party, which has pledged to improve the government’s response, has adopted many of his recommendations for reforming the Windrush compensation scheme. But, years into the scandal, many are still struggling to navigate the process described as inefficient, bureaucratic and retraumatising.

Among those still affected is Deborah, who has been supporting her brother in Barbados for decades since he has been unable to return to the UK after arriving as a Commonwealth citizen in 1966. “He didn’t leave with the intention of not coming back,” said Deborah, who asked to withhold her surname.

Last year she was instructed by the Home Office to apply for the Windrush scheme, unknown to the family as her mother did not arrive on the Windrush boat, which carried thousands from the Caribbean to the UK in 1948 and has become shorthand for the scandal. Deborah said the claim was rejected, she not having known the extent of evidence needed. In recent months, she travelled Barbados to gather documents in support of her brother’s case.

“There’s so much negligence,” said Deborah. “There’s got to be a public inquiry and the voices of the victims heard and listened to and tangible things, not just apologies.”

While some expressed concern on Saturday over a shift in Labour’s immigration policy they fear will create the “next generation of Windrush”, others such as the campaigner Garrick Prayogg said the only solution is legislative change.

“If we don’t get legislation before the next general election in place, what will happen if Reform come in?” said Prayogg, calling for changes to the existing hostile environment policy that led to the scandal.

While Patrick Vernon, who led a parliamentary petition related to the scandal in 2018, doesn’t see the current Labour government moving toward easing existing immigration policy, he said there are other changes as well as legislation, including a public inquiry and moving the compensation scheme from the Home Office.

“Why is it black people are given less money, no legal aid, less support?” said Vernon, who cited the Post Office and infected blood scandals. “Why are we being treated differently?”

He added: “You get a better service with Ryanair than the Home Office.”

Feb. 7 (UPI) — Heavy metal legend Dee Snider has resigned from Twisted Sister, prompting the band to cancel the remaining dates on its 50th anniversary concert tour.

“A lifetime of legendarily aggressive performing has taken its toll on Dee Snider’s body and soul. Unbeknownst to the public (until now) Snider (70) suffers from degenerative arthritis and has had several surgeries over the years just to keep going, able to only perform a few songs at a time in pain,” Snider’s representative said in a statement on the band’s website this week.

“Adding insult to injury, Dee has recently found out the level of intensity he has dedicated to his life’s work has taken its toll on his heart as well. He can no longer push the boundaries of rock ‘n’ roll fury like he has done for decades. Says Snider: ‘I don’t know of any other way to rock. The idea of slowing down is unacceptable to me. I’d rather walk away than be a shadow of my former self,’” the statement continued.

“In the immortal words of Dirty Harry, ‘A man’s got to know his limitations.’ Sadly, Dee Snider now knows his.”

In a separate statement, band members Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda called Snider’s exit “sudden and unexpected.”

The “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock” musicians also said the fate of the band will be determined in the coming weeks.

Lindsey Vonn’s remarkable comeback to the Olympic Games is nearly complete.

Her final event is on Thursday, the women’s super-G, at 5:30 a.m. ET.

After Vonn was injured last week, many thought it would rule her out of the Olympics, but the Minnesota native has fought through. On X, she clarified that her ACL is 100% ruptured.

An ACL tear normally entails a recovery that lasts about a year, but Vonn plans to fight through it.

She made a stunning comeback to the sport last year after nearly six years away from competition. Her return followed a partial titanium replacement inserted into her right knee, which she had in 2024.

The Team USA legend is the second-most successful woman in World Cup history with 84 wins. She has won eight World Championship medals.

Vonn won a gold medal in the downhill and a bronze medal in the super-G in the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, and a bronze medal in the downhill at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic Games. She will look to add to her collection in Italy.

Police have caught a man juggling fire while riding a unicycle on a pedestrian crossing.

Footage shows the unicyclist performing on the pedestrian crossing at the intersection between US-85 and East 60th Avenue in Commerce City, Colorado.

The man, wearing a red hat, blue trousers and a colourful jacket, can be seen driving forwards and backwards on the crossing, entertaining motorists waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

He expertly balances on the unicycle, even lifting a leg at one point to balance on just one pedal, all while juggling three torches, before hopping off his vehicle and running out of the way of the waiting cars.

“Our drone caught his act, which was both quite good and quite illegal,” the Commerce City Police Department wrote in a social media post.

The force said the performance violated several laws, including trespassing and impeding traffic by failing to vacate the crossing in time.

“Let’s all take a moment to appreciate this man’s talents, then all agree that we aren’t going to do stuff like this,” officers warned in the post.

Commerce City police said the busy intersection was often a target for enforcement action to ensure that pedestrians selling items and services weren’t interfering with motorists, but that this was the first time they received a call about a fire-juggling unicyclist.

The vouchers will be sent out via text and email

Peterborough City Council has announced it will be sending half-term supermarket vouchers out to eligible families soon to help them support their children over the school holidays.

The £10 vouchers will be sent out automatically by text and email on Saturday, February 14 using school data and information held by the council.

All vouchers must be activated by 9pm the following day (Sunday, March 15). Any voucher that remains unactivated past this time will be deemed invalid. Activation is done by simply selecting a supermarket to use.

Councillor Katy Cole, Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, said: “We are continuing to do all we can to support families in need of help, which is why I’m delighted that once again we will be providing this worthwhile scheme over the February school break.”

The council warned that it may take up to 9pm on the day the voucher is sent for it to arrive. Parents with more than one eligible child should note that their voucher links will probably arrive separately.

Eligible recipients should wait until Sunday, February 15 to contact the council about any missing vouchers.

It is important to note that any children who become eligible for the period up to and including Sunday February 22 will also receive vouchers if an application has been made.

Cllr Cole said she would “strongly urge” anyone who is eligible for the scheme but has not already signed up to consider doing so as soon as possible.

“The free school meals scheme not only helps families save around £450 a year per child but also helps their child’s primary school receive much-needed additional funding,” she said.
