maybe just not not as exciting as a result. I don't know if the location also, plays a role in it. Time zones. You know, paris is a little easier for us to watch the games live than it is when the games are over in asia. Whatever the situation is, canadians are more optimistic feeling this this year. I think the some of the economic concerns, canadians are starting to feel a little bit better about that interest rates are coming down the summer. The weather is improving. Canadians are feeling maybe a little bit better this year than they had in previous years, and that may be translating into interest for the olympics. For example. >> So one of the numbers so 45% say the games are not worth the hype, which is pretty interesting. I'm going back now. I don't know if you remember the 2010 olympics in vancouver and yes, there were in our home country, but a lot of people at the time, because a lot of, you know, federal money and provincial money went into that. So taxpayers money paid for a lot. So people think, well, you know, maybe not worth the hype, but after the games, people had a much different reaction. So you wonder how much that would change, you know, yes, it was on home soil, but nonetheless, when the olympics are around, people may have a different attitude. >> Yeah. In the lead up to it, there's a lot of hype and there's a lot of hoeing and humming about money and security costs. But once you see, you know how the men's hockey team wins, you know, in an exciting game seven and in 2010, I mean, you know, you forget about some of those things, so we've got still 4 in 10 who are, you know, more skeptical about the games. They think maybe the nationalism is a good thing. They're more hype than they're worth. They're not really interested in in watching it. But the vast majority of canadians do have some interest and see it as a, as a, as a bridge building exercise, not just for our, our country to cheer around our own flag, but for, for the world. Again, some, some excuse for us to come together and, and, you know, like each other and have a good time because that doesn't always happen. No, you're absolutely right. >> People need that distraction, especially now. Now more than ever, perhaps.

I'm tricia mason, a large scale investigation that started last year in southwest ontario led police to a property just outside of sterling. That's where they say they seized more

than $3 million in stolen vehicles, including classic cars. I have more on this report . This rural property just outside of sterling is the subject to a large scale police investigation. Two residents have been charged with multiple counts of theft after police say they seized more than a dozen vehicles, including classic cars totaling more than $3 million. >> So these were classic cars as well as some newer cars. They had been some that had been stolen, some had been put together with pieces from multiple stolen vehicles to create a classic vehicle that was then sold, some have been sold, some are still on the property. >> The original complaint was made back in 2023 regarding a stolen vehicle to the lambton county opp. Since then, the opp fleet supplying weapons service bureau, central hastings opp crime unit and emergency response team, along with the provincial auto theft and towing team and provincial asset forfeiture unit, got involved during the investigation, the provincial asset forfeiture unit was able to determine that 16 vehicles were considered. >> Proceeds of crime either purchased or derived through criminal activities. Therefore, they were able to seize them as proceeds of crime and offense related property. >> Sterling residents robert bradshaw and gary leblanc were charged with theft of motor vehicles over $5,000 fraud, over $5,000 used forged documents and conspiracy to commit an indictable offense. Leblanc was also charged with uttering threats put together. >> It's a very serious, complex investigation involving numerous crimes, according to the database of the ontario motor vehicle industry council, which inspects ontario's dealership and auto sales people, both men, in december of 2023, pleaded guilty to multiple charges under the motor vehicle dealers act as an unregistered dealer. >> Both men faced several fines as a result, but constable wade reminds residents to be mindful if they are buying a vehicle through a private deal. >> You could run into an issue where you're buying a vehicle or a stolen vehicle or a fraudulently registered vehicle, so do your due diligence, take your time. If the deal is too good to be true, there's probably a reason for it. The accused have since been released and are set to appear in a belleville court at a later date. >> Now, the investigation is ongoing and according to opp, it could be widespread throughout the province and even the rest of the country. One person was sent to hospital after a vehicle collided with a house in the city's north end thursday afternoon. It happened at around four at the corner of chemong road and aberdeen avenue. Damage to the home was minimal, but the airbags were deployed in the vehicle. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Aon local school boards and first nations are working together to fill the labor shortage. An exclusive job fair in hiawatha first nation yesterday opened the doors to a career in the skilled trades. Robert lothian explains. >> Never too young to look ahead, these indigenous students spent thursday career cruising. >> This could be life changing, right? If a student finds a trade that they love and are inspired by it, tiktok term baby hiawatha first nation, along with the local catholic school board, hosting its first ever skilled trades fair for indigenous youth fairs like this offer that opportunity for our youth to not only build a career , but to stay within their own community. >> If they choose to do that more than 150 students met with 74 presenters from dozens of trades, taking the opportunity to ask questions, learn a new skill and try on some new digs. >> Ontario estimates 360,000 unfilled jobs in the province, claiming 1 in 5 are expected to be in skilled trades by 2025. Electrical, however, for me is I like building things. I like creating something great. 11 student hex fenton drew interviewed for the ontario youth apprenticeship program, and while she's certain her future is in electrical, the fair was still an opportunity to learn. It's giving me a new perspective. >> Like before I got here, I like spray painting, garage doors. I did not know that was trades work. I did not know until today, and I got to try it out, which is awesome. >> Industry workers included those with indigenous backgrounds like gary paulin, a recruiter with the ontario power generation's aon program, providing support to recruit indigenous men and women into the industry. >> I know all the baby boomers retiring, so there's a big gap to fill, and about 40% of our jobs out in the workforce are going to be in skilled trades. So this is great, we're behind the ball. But, you know, projects like mine, my program here, is really helping to fill those gaps for students like paulin's son, carter. >> There's still uncertainty about what trade to choose. >> Not yet, but I got two

pamphlets. I want to see how it goes to that and keep going. >> And so with the resources in hand and the opportunities in abundance for these youth, the future can be as bright as they choose. Robert-lothian "global-news" you're watching "chex-peterborough" >> You may have noticed water levels are lower than usual. This spring, including lake ontario. And experts say climate change has something to do with it. But as darryn davis reports, the current low levels are actually the opposite of what they predict is coming. >> Anywhere between 8 and 10cm right now we are below average on lake ontario. Frank sigler is keeping a close eye on those water levels as the co-secretary of the lake ontario saint lawrence board of control. >> The board is part of the international joint commission that manages water levels along lake ontario and the saint lawrence river, he says long term models actually show increasing water levels in the great lakes system in the coming years, going up by maybe 10 to 15cm. >> But what we're really concerned about are the changes in extremes reminiscent of 2017 and 1918, that showed what impact high water levels can have, flooding municipalities up and down the saint lawrence and lake ontario, frontenac islands mayor judy greenwood-speers says residents on wells face serious issues with both extremes. >> When it's high water, it inundates the well and contaminates it from the top. >> When it's low water, you've got to get to that water. >> The wetlands are drying up. If the wetlands dry up, that is habitat for a very high biodiverse city of organisms, not just aquatic organisms, but birds. >> Queen's university professor and freshwater ecologist john small says the longer, warmer summers and shorter winters are leading to lower water levels in other areas to and increasing water temperatures. Ideal conditions for more blue green algae blooms gives taste and odor problems, so it affects drinking water, but it's actually some more serious effects. >> Too many of them produce toxins, greenwood-speers says. >> Climate change is already impacting millions of people along the shores of the great lakes, and saint lawrence river. >> Many of our cities and locations of villages are close to the water's edge. They're very at risk, and we have not done enough to get ready and protect. >> And with climate change extremes now a well-established reality, those risks and impacts have become a question of when, not if. Darryn davis, "global news, kingston. >> Good morning. Happy friday, happy friday, decent weather conditions today. It has been cooler. Certainly not quite as humid and we are tracking some wet weather for the weekend, all due to this disturbance that will be tomorrow and I'll time that out for you in the meantime though. Yeah, certainly cooler overnight and morning than it has been of late. More comfortable out there. And that will be the case tonight as well . As we drop to near the single digits, you can see there's a front towards the north. Much of that is drying out as it pushes south, so I expect sunshine across the area today and dry weather winds are variable at the moment. They will be out of the west at times but nothing overly strong. We're starting off in the low double digits for the most part across the area, and as we take a look at daytime highs today, low 20s, so that is closer to average, not the mid to high 20s, even low 30s that we were at at some points earlier this week. So comfortable conditions, even some high teens out there. And you can see the sunshine quiet weather today. It's more towards the late morning that we are going to look at the potential for some showers, the risk of a thunderstorm and that will continue that risk into the mid afternoon. I think by the evening hours much of that should clear and we dry out and sunday sun cloud mix looking pleasant later monday night into monday. Early monday morning there will be the risk of some thunderstorms, but much of sunday will stay dry, so 21 on saturday we'll have to watch out for that shower thunderstorm risk 25 on sunday, and then you can see more of a chance of wet weather early next week. And that's a look at your forecast. >> Thanks, ross. We have your national and international headlines just ahead on "global" news morning peterborough. Stay with us.
