Thank you. >> It's somewhat ironic. The shortest person on the stage has been a giant when it comes to basketball in canada. Larry tanenbaum was instrumental in bringing the nba to toronto, and now, almost 30 years later, he's doing the same with the wnba. >> Many say women's sports is having a moment I disagree. Women's sports has arrived. It is a movement. The world is finally taking notice of something that's been there all along. >> It wasn't always so. Tammy sutton-brown played 12 years in the w and remembers the early 2000, when the league struggled to get exposure and the players barely made ends meet. >> The salaries. Can we just start there? The salaries are a lot different. I think there making probably two, three, four times what we made back in our day stays today. >> One of the hottest and most marketable athletes on the planet. Caitlin clark is set to begin her wnba career as the league celebrates attendance, broadcast and fan engagement records. >> When I joined the league, I think we had 80 games of our over 200 on national platforms.

That in turn is changing the way sports marketing experts think. >> I credit them for saying this is this is not only the right thing to do, but it's a business decision. And the time is now and perhaps overdue to bring women's sport in this country. >> The team's home base will be in toronto, but they'll also play in vancouver and montreal. And yes, they'll be accepting input on the team name and colours from the public. But with first tip off, not until 2026. They have time to enjoy this historic day. >> Do hereby proclaim may 23rd, 2024 as wnba day in the city of

toronto. >> Mike deer-lake, "global news, toronto new video released thursday, nearly a week after the arrest of pro golfer scottie scheffler outside the pga championship, louisville police released footage of the arrest from two different cameras. >> A security camera and a police dash cam provide new angles, but the altercation between scheffler and the arresting officer is largely obscured.

Medical experts from across the country are raising concerns about delays in updating national cancer screening guidelines.

Megan king has more. >> Waiting ten plus years for an update is just not acceptable anymore. >> It's been over a decade since national guidelines were made recommending women aged 50 and older should have access to mammography to screen for breast cancer. Since then, evidence showing that the age of breast cancer incidence is becoming younger has urged experts in the field to call on the canadian task force on prevention care that sets national guidelines to lower its recommendation to age 40. >> Absolutely, this will save lives. There is no question about it. The sooner that the breast cancer is detected, the earlier the stage, the much more, higher rate of cures that we can accomplish. >> While leduc is calling for equity on a federal level, many provinces have taken the change into their own hands. Nova scotia has its average risk age for screening mammography starting at 40. And that's not the only cancer. It's making its own decisions on lung-ns pei took nova scotia's high lung cancer rates into consideration when deciding to implement screening availability beginning at age 50, rather than the task force recommended age 55 discussing with partners vulnerable populations. >> Our mi'kmaq communities are our folks tend to start younger. And with that in mind, it we started here at 50 was the age. >> So what that creates is what we call a postal code lottery. So if you're in a province that does allow screening in the appropriate age group, you're lucky. And that actually goes against, the canada health act. And, it, it, it creates inequity. The coalition for responsible health care guidelines is calling for the restructuring of the independent, federally appointed task force and for accountability. >> A representative for the task force says it's working on a comprehensive evidence review for its upcoming draft guidelines on breast cancer screening. The draft recommendations are expected out later this spring. >> We sort of stand by helplessly and watch as they, create these guidelines that don't align with what experts know, you know, actually happens in reality. >> The coalition wants experienced specialists to be part of these crucial guideline decisions. Megan-king "global-news" halifax moncton is welcoming its first indigenous public art installation. >> It's a collaboration between mi'kmaq artist brian francis and fredericton artist jane hudson, titled spirit of reconciliation, the piece includes a five meter long sculpture in the shape of a birch bark canoe painted in bright red.
