Toronto airport strike

If you’re going to or through Toronto by air, beware.

700 ground crew workers at Pearson International are on strike.  They’re employed by Swissport, a company that services 30 airlines including Sunwing; Air Transat, Air France; and British Airways.

The labour dispute could have an impact on some operations but the airport authority says it has a contingency plan.

BC blazes

Many of the 10,000 evacuees are being allowed back into their homes in Williams Lake, BC; but they are also being warned not to get too comfortable because they may have the evacuate again at a moment’s notice.

The wildfires near the community are not 100% contained and if the weather and winds change they could be forced out again.  They have also been warned the fires have profoundly affected the area.
