have an affect on that, so we'll keep an/on the live nation lawsuit. >> Ross: if pure looking for something to do this weekend, it's actually national road trip day. >> Candace: that's right. Some tips for road tripping include planning ahead, mapping your route, and also making sure your vehicle is properly maintained. So, I wonder... I know you went on one a couple of weekends ago or actually last weekend, but are you planning on a road trip this weekend? That's the thing: summer, every weekend is road tripping weekend. >> Ross: what I'm thinking of doing this summer is going to see the jays in a different city. Maybe cleveland. I know I'm not going to make it to detroit this weeped, but I know a lot of canadians will be crossing the border and doing that. Are you a fan of road trips? Do you lake -- because there's something cave cathartic about it, too. Just kind of getting on the road and just having you and the road and some conversation with whoever you're with. >> Candace: absolutely. Or even not. My road tripping situation has been that typically the passenger is asleep, but, yeah, no, once it's in the rear view, pardon the pun, you can definitely sense the beauty of a good road trip, and, yeah, they are quite magical. >> Ross: yeah, I always love the games, too. Eye spy. Would you rather? All those types of games that you can get into. Well, I guess if you're driving, you just have to make sure you pay attention of the license plate game is fun, too. We always love to have fun and show you some cute dogs on the dog walking forecast. This is kramer in thorold. >> Candace: aww, his hair kind of reminds me of the top head hair. A bit of kramer. Cosmo kramer, yeah. >> Ross: anybody who's a dog owner knows that look when they bring you your ball, and actually I just learned recently from a tiktok video, so I don't know if it's actual science, but I believe that that shows a form of trust as well, and it makes sense. When a dog brings you their ball, obviously they trust you. They want to play, but it's a sign of trust. So trust me with the weather conditions today, I hope: sunshine. We're getting up to near the MID-20s as a daytime high. A bit of a west/northwest breeze. Not overly humid. We get into some wet weather, it looks like, between 9:00 and 3 or 4:00 tomorrow afternoon. Be on the lookout for some storms. And this has been a decent stretch of weather. >> Candace: I agree. I agree. You've got to make the most of every hour. Thank you to kramer and kramer's owner out in authorize rolled, which I know for certain is out St. Catharines way, so it you might want pass it on your road trip to niagara falls or whenever you might be headed, but thanks so much.

It's a tasty little place for seafood. Starwatch; Monday to Saturday on Global Thunder Bay. . Good morning and thank you for joining us a design standard recommendation for the proposed indoor facility will be presented to thunder bay city council on monday night after years of back and forth, the final report is in with a mandatory bid cap of forty two point seven million dollars. The hope is to show city officials that the build can be done for less money which in turn means the project may finally get approved. >> Josh marano is following the story. In the proposal administration laid out three options for councillors regarding the price . Option one is estimated at over forty one million option two closer to forty eight while option three which staff are recommending sits at over 40 two point seven. That's the energy efficiency model cutting back on certain unnecessary components on the built president of soccer nw michael vanesa ali says the purpose of the new report is to show city councillors that in fact the facility can be built cheaper but feels it is heading in the right direction. >> I am feeling very positive about it in saying that we've been very, very close to this before and it hasn't got across the finish line so it is just part of the process and it is a step in the right direction but it's still just a step when this goes to the developers and they get to come back with their own designs of what the facility will layout like what it will look like on the exterior and they come back with that final dollar then we'll know when is the adds some of those discretionary items include an emergency generator, additional parking and relocating the baseball diamond which can be addressed later and would cost around a million dollars. Mckeller ward councillor brian hamilton says the project would be welcomed by many in the community. >> The site has been selected finally and the scope of the project has the parameters had been set by city council so what we're looking at is very much in line with I think the the expectations of the community as well as city council. This is a legacy project and ultimately it's here and I anticipate it's going to get past 5.5 million of the capped bids forty two point seven million price tag will be allocated for preparing the site which is located next to the community auditorium. Josh maranhao tv news. >> It's been six years since the lakehead psychiatric hospital shut its doors and officials with infrastructure ontario still aren't ready to put the property up for sale. Questions about the future of the were heightened last week after a fire broke out inside the massive building apparently caused by trespassers. City council members say they want an update from the province. >> Jonathan wilson reports. >> Under fire crews were called to a blaze inside the former lakehead psychiatric hospital on may 13th. Witnesses reported smoke coming from the building and firefighters were able to quickly extinguish a small fire that was presumed to be started by trespassers. There was minimal damage to the ceiling and some content damage inside the building which have been closed since twenty eighteen is located in andrew foulds ward and he's been looking for answers for years about the province's plans for the property. >> The province made the decision to close it in. You know, as a result it's it's actually just stood there and not really been functional and you know, recently we've seen, you know, some not so great things happen or some nefarious things and you know, there was I believe a fire there a couple of weeks ago and certainly, you know, I as I drove by there fairly regularly, you know, it is becoming a bit derelict. >> A spokesperson for infrastructure ontario issued a statement this week saying the property is not currently for sale. We've been undertaking various due diligence activities towards identifying potential future uses for the site. Infrastructure minister kinga surma and her staff have toured the 500000 square foot building . City officials spoke to her about it at the roma conference in january but there are still no clear plan for the building. One person who was recently allowed access inside found graffiti in some of the rooms and paint peeling off the walls the has been declared surplus which means it would first have to be offered to other levels of government school boards or agencies before it's put up for sale. American boskoff says he wants the province to demolish it so that the majority of the property can be redeveloped for the benefit of the city. >> We're on the province to do something with it as soon as possible and almost every month or so someone comes with another proposal to my office of mixed housing recreation those kinds of things. And of course we would always keep, you know, the trail system in the lake as is. But there's no doubt that it's

a huge property that could house many the lands with the house many thousands of people city council put our community land use designation on the northern portion of the property in order to protect green spaces and natural heritage features. The spokesperson from infrastructure ontario declined to provide any timelines for the disposition of the building and property. Jonathan wilson tv news mercury contamination near dryden and grassy narrows is still being made worse by runoff from the dryden mill. That's according to new research released yesterday. It shows industrial waste water from the mill is increasing the rate that existing mercury contaminates fish and impacts human health. >> Lee noonan has the details. High levels of methylmercury found in fish have taken a severe toll on the health of people in grassy narrows. First nation since the 60s and 70s when mercury was dumped into the english wabigon river system by the pulp and paper mill in dryden. New research shows that the effluent from the mill today is still exacerbating the issue the chemistry of water that's being discharged from the mill and dryden today is amplifying the mercury problem above what we would expect it to be if that discharge were not occurring. >> Grassy narrows chief rudy turtle wants to see the mill take immediate action to address the problem. >> I hope that they would support clean up and also that they would look at making sure that they are having safer practise or just shut it down period. >> The mill's new owners dryden fibre canada say they care deeply but won't comment until they've had time to review the report. According to brian freund, it's well known that sulphates and organic matter are needed to convert mercury to the methylmercury that accumulates in the food chain. Both are naturally occurring in the river. But his study not only found sulphate levels 30 to 100 times higher downstream from the mill but also found high levels of organic matter that compound the problem even more than they expected. >> So about 10 times more sulphate resulted in about two times more methylmercury and so that's you know, that's a significant amount because if you reduce the amount of methylmercury in the environment by half then ultimately you would reduce the amount of ethylmercury in fish by half turtle says he's disappointed but not surprised by the results and holds both ottawa and queen's park responsible. >> They're the ones that put the regulations on and and the ones that look after the practises they should have done a better job. And again, it's disappointing to see this happening in this day and age. >> A spokesperson for ontario's ministry of environment and conservation said the report is being reviewed by technical experts and a meeting is planned with branfman and indigenous communities next week. Meanwhile, branwen says this doesn't have to be bad news as it would be much faster and easier to stop adding the sulphates and organic matter to the river. Then it will be to remove the mercury every yeah every moment that we continue to add these compounds to the river that we are still producing more methylmercury that's entering the food chain. >> The federal ministry of environment did not respond to our requests for comments before this story went to air. >> Lee noonan, who's a health technology company specialising in medication delivery software ,has completed its first successful drone test flight. Critical medication was delivered to a patient located 30 kilometres away in a remote area in about half an hour. Officials say this might just be the future of pharmaceutical delivery. Jane belic tells us more script runner is the company response for this community. And first the firm partnered with otc medical boards pharmacy to utilise an apower drone to deliver edge to hard to access areas. >> A shipment of insulin was successfully delivered to an elderly woman living alone on lake. Co-founder of script runner adam plummer speaks more about their efforts as a company. >> We believe that everybody deserves to have a great quality of life and that's why we kind of do it in the form of medication delivery, right? So I think that if these population are in areas that are hard to get to again this is the drone is definitely a versatile equipment. That's one of the many things to be used for last mile to get them their medication. So I definitely do think it could really help with that. >> The drone use for the demonstration is the dji fly cart 30, a large 65 kg wind resistant machine capable of carrying a payload of up to 40 kilos. This trial run could potentially revolutionise the country's evolving health care landscape. The executive director of medical robyn dustbins says drones could provide crucial solutions in transporting medications to those in desperate need and also reduce busy pharmacy workflow. >> It's been absolutely exciting to be a part of scriptwriter's first drone
