The last time Yukon residents voted in a territorial plebiscite it was about allowing the sale of alcohol, this time the vote will be on the equally dizzying question of electoral reform.

More than a century since that 1920 plebiscite, the vote that is expected to be part of this year’s territorial election could see the Yukon become the first jurisdiction in Canada to move to a ranked ballot from the current-first-past-the-post system.

British Columbia Health Minister Josie Osborne is “sincerely apologizing” to the family of a 10-year-old girl on Vancouver Island with a rare disease after a public fight over the province’s decision to cut off paying for her medication.

Osborne issued the apology at a news conference after her government announced it would restore the drug funding for Charleigh Pollock, the only person in B.C. with Batten Disease.

By the age of 23, Alex Delvecchio had placed his name on the Stanley Cup three times. He kept skating with the Detroit Red Wings until he was 41, but he never won another championship.

For nearly a quarter-century, he quietly put together one of the greatest careers in National Hockey League history, though few outside Detroit paid much notice. The forward never won a scoring title, never was named a first-team all-star, never won a most-valuable-player award. Overshadowed by teammate Gordie Howe, it was barely noted upon Mr. Delvecchio’s retirement as a player that he was the league’s second-highest scorer of all time, trailing only his famous linemate.

A fraudster Romeo who bilked five Alberta women of thousands of dollars by faking a lavish lifestyle, brain cancer, seizures and fathering a child with at least one of them, is appealing his dangerous offender designation.

Jeffrey Kent’s lawyer says he has filed a notice of appeal challenging the ruling and his client’s indeterminate sentencing by an Edmonton judge last month.

Chatchawan Jaksuwong says he used to feel empty when he looked at the ocean.

But after encounters with whales in the urban waters of Vancouver the photographer now feels a deep sense of connection, and he’s found community with fellow enthusiasts.

The Supreme Court of Canada has made it more difficult for judges to sentence youth offenders convicted of serious crimes, such as first-degree murder, as adults for their actions.

The top court in two related decisions on Friday provided added detail on how the law should be interpreted by the lower courts.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is dismissing a report into last year’s wildfires around Jasper National Park after surveyed firefighters said the work of crews was impeded by the provincial government.

Chevron CVX-N has scored a critical ruling in Paris that has given it the go-ahead for a $53 billion acquisition of Hess HES-N and access to one of the biggest oil finds of the decade.

Chevron said Friday that it completed its acquisition of Hess shortly after the ruling from the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris. Exxon XOM-N had challenged Chevron’s bid for Hess, one of three companies with access to the massive Stabroek Block oil field off the coast of Guyana.

Good morning. A new park that will be unveiled tomorrow in Toronto is an ambitious example of moving rivers to bring civic imagination to public spaces. More on that below, plus catching up on First Nation leaders meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney on Bill C-5 and Ukraine’s cabinet shuffle. But first:

Today’s headlines

• Documents used to assess asylum and deportation cases omit Trump’s edicts on gender, deportations and detention
• Hedge funds sort out winners and losers as Couche-Tard’s bid to buy 7-Eleven owner collapses
• The British government has announced plans to lower voting age to 16 in national elections

First Nations leaders have opposed both the federal government’s Bill C-5 and Ontario’s Bill 5, pieces of legislation that would allow the two governments extraordinary powers to ignore existing laws – including environmental regulations – to fast-track megaprojects such as mines or pipelines.

They say the two bills run roughshod over the constitutional requirement that governments consult First Nations about development on their traditional territories. A group of nine First Nations in Ontario launched a constitutional challenge this week of both Ontario’s and Canada’s bills.

On a sunny July afternoon, the Don River flowed into Toronto Harbour. Its banks were lined with lake sedge, switchgrass and Canada anemone. Paths and bridges laced through the landscape, which looked as if they had always been there.

In fact, this stretch of river and its surrounding lands − now known as Biidaasige Park − are entirely manufactured. They are not a work of nature but a feat of civic imagination.

They are the product of a $1.5-billion effort known as the Port Lands Flood Protection Project, which has redrawn the mouth of the Don and conjured vast new public spaces from what had long been a civic afterthought.

A report into a wildfire that devastated the Rocky Mountain resort town of Jasper last summer says crews did their best but command and control was hampered by the Alberta government.

The report was commissioned by the town and surveyed participants and firefighters who battled the wind-whipped blaze that destroyed a third of buildings in the community located in Jasper National Park.

Alberta’s Auditor-General says the provincial government has not done the work to ensure daycares getting public funds use them to lower fees for parents or top up staff wages.

Doug Wylie, in a report released Thursday, says without proper verification, Alberta could be overcompensating operators with federal and provincial funds meant to lower the average cost of daycare to $10 per day.

“There is a risk that public funds may not be used as intended – leading to parents overpaying for child-care and educators being under-compensated,” the report says.

Canada and New Zealand have reached a “mutually satisfactory” resolution to a long-running dispute over access for dairy products, the federal government said in a statement on Thursday.

“This agreement, negotiated in close consultation with Canadian dairy stakeholders, will result in certain minor policy changes to Canada’s TRQ (tariff rate quotas) administration, and does not amend Canada’s market access commitments,” International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu and Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald said in a statement.

Public health officials say there are 13 confirmed cases of the contagious infection in Sussex, N.B., up from five on Wednesday.
