👉Sault Ste. Marie city council has agreed to contribute $505,000 to aid in saving the city's YMCA. An unnamed charitable foundation is purchasing the YMCA building, contingent upon the city providing funds for necessary repairs. While some councillors expressed concerns about transparency, the motion to support the YMCA passed 7-3. Mayor Matthew Shoemaker highlighted the potential higher cost to the city if the YMCA were to close. The funding, coming from the city's reserves, will not incur additional costs for taxpayers. However, councillors are now pushing for greater oversight of the YMCA's operations.✅ . 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐎𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭.

👉The Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has introduced Bill C-70, the "Countering Foreign Interference Act," to combat foreign interference in the country. The bill includes the creation of a new "Foreign Influence Transparency and Accountability Act," which would establish a publicly accessible registry overseen by a foreign influence transparency commissioner. This registry aims to enhance transparency regarding foreign states' influence activities in Canada. Failure to register could result in fines up to $5 million or five years in prison. The bill also includes reforms to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act, granting new powers to share sensitive information and amend warrant and intelligence collection authorities.✅ .

✅Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced a new method for calculating processing times to assist applicants in predicting the duration of their applications. The department will now publish forward-looking processing times online for several high-volume immigration programs, including Canadian Experience Class, Provincial Nominees Program, Federal Skilled Workers, Quebec Skilled Workers, and various citizenship applications. This change comes in response to recommendations from the Office of the Auditor General to improve application processing time transparency. IRCC is expected to update service standards by the end of the year, defining reasonable timeframes for issuing final decisions on applications. Source: www.cicnews.com/ .
