CALGARY — Kristi Miller has been named interim chair of Hockey Canada’s board of directors, the governing body announced Wednesday. Miller has been on the board since Nov. 18, 2023. She was among the new appointees who replaced a transition board installed at the height of the Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal. The previous Hockey Canada board, along with president and CEO Scott Smith, resigned on Oct. 11, 2022, amid criticism of the organization’s handling of sexual assault allegations involving five members of Canada’s 2018 world junior team. Miller was re-elected as a director to a three-year term last November. The Vancouver native is president of financial service company RTB Enterprises Inc., and previously chaired Hockey Canada’s audit and finance committee. Hockey Canada will elect a new board chair to replace Jonathan Goldbloom, who stepped down Monday, at its annual meeting on Dec. 5 in Toronto.

BC Conservative interim leader Lorne Doerkson called the remarks unacceptable. Later in the day speaking in Hope, B. C., Mr. Eby said he didn’t use the tragedy for political gain and will steer clear of the topic through to voting day. “Let me say unreservedly I would never, ever use the sacrifice of these young men, the grief of their families for political advantage to attack another party,” Mr. Eby said. Earlier, he referenced the loss of the four soldiers lives in the fire as being “our true heroes” who had put their lives on the line to defend Canada. “What we can do for them is stand up for a united Canada, to stand up for our country,” he said.

Images released by the Las Vegas Police Department show an Ontario tourist taking a flamingo, allegedly removed from its habitat, back to his hotel room. LAS VEGAS -- A Canadian man was convicted of animal cruelty charges Monday for snatching a flamingo named Peachy from its enclosure at an iconic Las Vegas hotel. Prosecutors said it was a malicious prank while a lawyer for the tourist insisted it was drunken foolishness not meant to harm the bird. Prosecutors said tourist Mitchell Fairbarn hurt and frightened the 27-year-old Chilean flamingo when he took it from its habitat at the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel and Casino and carried the squawking bird to his room March 3. Defence attorney Josh Tomsheck told jurors at trial in a Nevada court that the man deeply regretted the “bad decisions” he made while intoxicated. After about five hours of deliberations, jurors returned convictions on felony and misdemeanor animal cruelty counts against the Ontario, Canada, man. Mitchell Fairbarn, left, appears in court with his attorney Josh Tomsheck, during jury selection for his trial at the Regional Justice Center on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, in Las Vegas.
