Stream on StackTVand the Global TV app. [ ] This is a good day. Yeah, it's beautiful, too. We don't often hear, like, as many war storiesom female veterans. Rena... I just wonder if she knew the impact of her service. [ ] morning, we are at Government House here in Charlottetown, Prince Welcome. [Jilan] ...The official home of the Lieutenant Governor. -A pleasure to have you here. -Yes! Thank you. This feels like a huge honour, just to have a moment of her time. Sometimes, when we readaccounts of the wars, we don't see the recognitionof the service... but especially for the Nursing Sisters. It was big. Mm. As part of her service, Rena was awarded the Victory Medal and the British War Medal. It's a 1914 star, for those that started serving right at the beginningof the war, and she would be one of the few women to have received that. Wow! So she rece She did. And then the other one that we have an example here to show you is the Royal Red Cross Class 2. The small Silver Cross is one recognition for nursing service. Throughout both the First and Second World War, there were only just over 400 of those medals awarded, so that in itself is-- is significant. Wow. Rena was awarded the Royal Red Cross Class 2 in 1916. She would have actually been presented this? Oh, I didn't know that! I-I did not know that. So she was... [sniffling] like, aware, like-- -Mm-hmm, yes. -She was recognized in person? I have heard about her medals, but I always assumed they were after her death. I hadn't realized that she knew that she was doing such a good job. [ ] [Perry] So this was the Rena McLean Memorial Hospital, which was dedicated to her in 1918, Wow. It would've been a pretty big deal, to have a whole hospital named after... Absolutely! Absolutely. It was a veterans' hospital... ...and now it's the Rena McLean Veterans' Garden. It is a memorial garden for our freedom, in the wars. [Jillian] "Rena McLean Veterans Garden. In memory of a young Island nurse who served as a member of the Canadian Nursing Sisters. Rena McLean was the only ce Edward Island nurse to lose her life during the Great War, when the hospital ship theLlandovery Castle was sunk in 1918." At the start of this, I knew of the sinking... but just hadn't really thought of Rena as the person. Learning more about her... now I have 20 extra layers to this family legend. She was able to helpand safely bring home soldiers. There's generations of peoplethat she impacted. Knowing Rena's experience... I... feel more like a real nurse, because now I havethis legacy story I can keep alive through serving the veteransthat I work with. So, I really think that'sthe value in Rena's story. [ ]

Police say video footage shows a vehicle pulling up in f of the school. The twoupants inside firing shots. No injuries have been reported. >> I completely understand this can cause concern and fear and anxiety in the community, especi when it happens at a school like this and especially wihe students, the parents, the staff. I want the community to know that the toronto police is going to ensure that community safety is of utmost importance as we always do. One of the questions I'm sure people are asking, is this a hate crime? Is this a terrorist act? I want to say it's too e in the investigation to say whether it is orot. We're not going to ignore the obvious, you know, of what is current here and what the target of the shooting was, but at the same time it would be wrong to just guess atoing to go into this investigation with an open mind. >> Shallima: no suspect information is available. Anyone with videoootage or information is asked to contact police. >>> A toronto man is dead and thothers are in serious condition afteroach bus carrying passengers was struck by a flying tire.

Passenger vehicles are a erent story. >> I alwaysnk that people should give more priority to the safety of the vehicles. >> Reporter: at this time of year, thousands of drivers just switched winter tires and may t have gone back to the mechanic to ensure the wheels are secure. Others may be cutting corners. >> Particularly now when money is so tight that some people may feel they're going to save money by doing it themselves. >> I left it to the professionals to do it, and I you know, I'm expecting them to know what they're doing when they're doing that. >> Reporter: you may be careful but you can't control whether other owners take the same kind of care. At this point police have not laid any ces. >> Safety is first, especially on the road. About yourself but everyone else around you. >> Reporter: when a tire falls off a vehicf any size, it can be difficult orossible for other drivers to react as in this case, the results can be catastrophic.

All of the people that are here are dealing with loss every single day, whether it's the loss of someone that they love or t loss of the life that they had before the crash. Through a catastrophic injury. So we have been given a life sentence because of somebody else's poor decision making.
