Natasha Wodak sets new Canadian record in Berlin marathon

A North Vancouver runner says learning to enjoy training is what helped her smash a Canadian record at the Berlin Marathon yesterday. 40 year old Natasha Wodak finished 12th in the race, clocking in at two hours, 23 minutes and 12 seconds. Her time was more than a minute and a half faster that Malindi Elmore's record set in 2020. Wodak says she didn't enjoy her first marathon experience in 2013, however as she got older and more disciplined, she said she really started to enjoy the process of preparing.

Fees in licensed child care in B.C. to drop by up to $550 a month by Dec. 1

Child-care fees in British Columbia are set to drop by up to $550 a month starting in December for children in licensed care for those in kindergarten and younger. Jennifer Whiteside, B.C.'s minister of education and child care, says the reductions will mean families of 96 per cent of children in eligible care, or about69,000 kids, will automatically receive the lower fees. She says the savings for families are on top of earlier reductions of $350 per month for children under three years old in group care, which will cut fees by $900 a month.
