It's so fun. >> Are you shooting against another person? >> Joe hayes is the diversity coordinator with the peterborough youth basketball association. Last year, he approached five counties children's center about bringing basketball to kids with exceptionalities. They actually got my master's recently at trent university in education, and part of my thesis involved diversity. >> And so I've really, sort of, bought into the whole concept of inclusion, diversity, equity. And I thought this was a good way to bring basketball to some kids that might not have the opportunity to play. >> Five counties jumped on board right away, helping develop this program for children and youth with physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities. >> Everyone deserves the right to sport. So when we have especially children and youth with exceptionalities. So when we're able to provide these opportunities, it's a really big, part of their development. >> The program introduces kids to the game, providing fun games that everyone can play. >> Basketball specifically. There's a lot of different ways that we can adapt it, whether that's changing the rules or just the way we provide instruction or the equipment that we use. As an example, we can lower the nets is an easy adaptation that we can provide to support our kiddos. >> Now, in its second season, hayes says running the program has been a rewarding experience. >> Met some kids, that have come back, so I'm getting to know them a year after year, and it's just been an incredible experience. Yeah you're watching "chex-peterborough" >> Good morning. Hope you all had a great weekend. We do have some wet weather in store at times today, all due to this disturbance that's sliding into eastern ontario. And this morning some showers, even an isolated thunderstorm. And you can see that that's pushed in. We'll see a bit of a lull. And then another wave will move in this afternoon. In total 20 to 40mm possible by the end of today into tomorrow. So, this will be some soaking rains at times. And you can see winds currently out of the east. They will turn to a southwest wind and going to be a little breezy at times, likely 30 to 40km, 30 to 50km/h throughout the day. Today we're starting off pretty mild. We should still be in the high single digits as an overnight low. Nowhere near that. We're more towards the mid teens and we'll get into the low 20s as a daytime high today with the humidex, though, it will feel closer to the high 20s. So here's a look at what we can expect. More periods of rain, thunderstorm and heavier downpours possible through this afternoon. And then likely another wave that pushes through tomorrow afternoon. Then after that we should be into some drier weather. Although in the wake of that system it will be cooler. Let's take a look at your seven day forecast. So yes, some showers at times on tuesday 17 degrees in the high teens on wednesday and thursday. We do return to the 20s though. It looks like on friday the mid 20s with the sun cloud mix at this

point for saturday and sunday. And that's a look at your forecast. Thank you ross. >> This is "global news" morning peterborough. We have your national and international headlines coming up.

Here's a look at your national and international headlines. The death toll from severe weather in the southern united states has now risen to 18. Powerful storms left a wide trail of destruction across texas, oklahoma and arkansas. The worst damage was seen in a region spanning from north of dallas to the northwest corner of arkansas. The governor of kentucky declared a state of emergency early this morning, citing multiple reports of wind damage and tornadoes. Now, forecasters say the greatest risk for weather will shift to the east today, with severe storms expected anywhere from alabama as far as new york city. Strong winds and heavy rain pounded the coastal regions of bangladesh and india as a severe cyclone made landfall. Millions of people are without electricity after a power poles fell and trees were uprooted by gusty winds. Dozens of bangladeshi villages were flooded after a flood protection. Embankments either washed away or were damaged by the storm surge. Nearly 800,000 people had been evacuated from vulnerable areas in bangladesh on sunday, the india meteorological department says the storm is likely to weaken further throughout the day, but warns heavy showers will remain over the next two days. Ten months after torrential rain caused devastating flooding in parts of nova scotia, there are residents still struggling with the high cost of remediation and repairs. Heidi-petracek has the

story of one senior's fight for financial assistance. How many have been left waiting for government help and the future forecast for urban flooding in canada? >> When flood waters rushed into streets and homes in nova scotia last july, it caused more than $170 million in insured damage. The driveway was covered and the flood burst through the back door and into clifton creek's basement. Photos show the aftermath. >> The water had been high enough to make appliances float and left everything caked in mud . >> His estimated restoration cost $143,000 taxes in his insurance capped at 50,000. >> I took 50,000 off the 143, left me with 90,000 in change. Then he applied to nova scotia's disaster financial assistance program, which pledged up to $200,000 for homeowners. >> But after months of waiting and piles of paperwork, kruk was offered $6,000. He appealed and was then offered 15,000. At 74 years old, he's taken out a second mortgage to pay for the $60,000 he has left. >> What would you say if somebody said, we're going to put your home back to the way it originally was? Just pay, pay my contractor's bill. That's all I want. >> The province is still processing more than 500 disaster assistance applications from the floods. 1100 have been paid out to the tune of $14 million. >> For the ones that haven't been paid out are certainly very sympathetic. We know it's been very traumatic for them, but it's been challenging for us too. >> Flooding is actually the costliest natural hazard in canada in terms of property damage. >> It's why the intact center on climate adaptation created a tool to help municipalities prepare for and prevent urban flooding, which is expected to increase in frequency. >> We're expecting more kind of short duration, intense rainfall events. And we have I think, you know, everyone knows examples of those across canada. >> My doctors increased a lot of my medications as the stress has taken its toll on kruk. >> He's not sure he could take another flood, especially after what he's paid for this one. Heidi-petracek "global news" middle sackville, nova scotia a graphic artist who designed tragically hip themed canadian travel posters has caught the attention of the band. >> As jay-durant explains, these posters are now being sold across the country. >> A little background music for inspiration. Graphic artist jon bellion, his creative partner adam rogers came up with a unique idea to showcase their client. Mitchell presses capabilities. It'd be kind of cool to do travel posters that were based on the tragically hip songs. Drawing from a classic canadian style, the finished products posted on social media quickly caught the attention of the kingston band, and they got a call from the tragically hip and said, wow, I don't even know about this project. Really interesting. Maybe we can talk about it now. The complete set is being sold on the hips website. On their 40th anniversary, a hip trip around canada incorporating some hidden nuggets from those well known lyrics. Weathervane jesus. At the top of this, we have ry cooder up in here, singing his eulogy could have been the willie nelson, or it could have been the wine. I probably went through their whole catalog. We actually ended up hiring a writer to help us with that, because we really wanted it to have like a over the top sort of advertising feel to the writing. This is not bilal's first tragically hip themed work. He created a commemorative poster for rogers arena during the farewell tour in 2016, back when he was more of a casual fan. I probably had 2 to 3 albums and now I probably, you know, I listened to them all the time and now that now that my hands are steady. Ganny john's also an instructor at the wilson school of design from this project that's quickly taken off. There's a lesson here that he will continue to share with his students. You're going to get overwhelmed by the software and the technology and all of those things. But at the end of the day, it's all about imagination, and it will be the one thing that will keep you in the industry.
