Kampusch was a freckle-faced 10-year-old when she vanished while walking to school in Vienna in March 1998. Her abduction was Austria's greatest unsolved criminal mystery until Aug. 23, 2006, when -- pale, feeble and nearly blinded by the light of day -- she stumbled to freedom. Those who have closely followed [Kampusch]'s metamorphosis won't be surprised at her new career: Since she resurfaced, she repeatedly said she was considering a job in journalism, even though she has no formal training and is still completing her high school education. She has also expressed interest in photography, acting and art. Kampusch told the Austria Press Agency she's "already really excited" about what kind of reaction the show will get.
ICID chief executive officer Heather Medwick told the Free Press she had a debriefing with the Public Health Agency of Canada Thursday -- nearly two weeks after PHAC head Dr. David Butler-Jones informed her by phone ICID's bid was being rejected. ICID's proposal had the backing of four Canadian universities, Winnipeg-based biopharmaceutical giant Cangene Corp., the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative in New York City, and the Serum Institute, the largest generic vaccine manufacturing company in the world. Last summer, ICID was told informally its bid had been judged to be the winner by a group of peer reviewers. Then former ICID CEO Terry Duguid decided to seek the nomination to run for the Liberal Party in Winnipeg South and things started to go sour. Several sources, including Dugui...
The week he died, nearly every staff member at Sagkeeng's child welfare agency was in Calgary at a staff retreat, leaving only a skeleton crew to handle the agency's 200 kids in care, including [Gage Guimond]. Of the four extended family and foster homes Gage was shuffled into before his death, only one was safe and an unqualified resource worker hired because of nepotism consistently failed to do the proper criminal and safety checks on the homes where he was neglected and abused. The relationship between Sagkeeng and the original Selkirk foster family broke down when the family questioned why Gage was being removed. That's why the agency didn't return Gage to the foster family when his grandmother's home proved dangerous. Most staff went on a week-long retreat in Calgary the week Gage...

The UN refugee agency says more than two million of Iraq's 26 million people are in refugee camps in Syria and Jordan, while the advocacy group Refugees International says "most are determined to be resettled to Europe or North America. With 1.4 million Iraqis in camps in Syria, Milad Atiya, Syrian ambassador to Jordan and head of his country's delegation, said the United States in particular should be doing more to relieve the burden because "its policy led the plight (they) are currently in." The 750,000 Iraqi refugees in Jordan, meanwhile, are costing the desert kingdom US$1 billion a year, said Mukheimar Abu-Jamous, Secretary-General of the Jordanian Interior Ministry. He urged the West to "rise to their obligation" and re-settle the largest possible number of the refugees.
Cree Nation Child and Family Caring Agency director Linda Constant was placed on administrative leave and forced to turn in her keys after a meeting in The Pas. Cree Nation, which provides child-welfare services to seven bands in northwestern Manitoba, will now be run by a senior administrator on loan from Opaskwayak Cree Nation's child-welfare agency. Officials with OCN's child-welfare agency said Cree Nation's board had been suspended for the next six months while the province and the northern authority tried to get the agency back on track. But [Rose McKay] said a decision on the board's fate won't be made until Monday. That's when the chiefs from the seven northern bands served by Cree Nation meet in Winnipeg. Last month, when news of the turmoil at Cree Nation surfaced, Chemawawin...
Two things. Don't know why it's called free agency because, brother, it ain't free. Second, for all the manufactured hyperbole surrounding the NHL's free agency "frenzy," which begins on Canada Day, the overwhelming evidence suggests you've got a better chance of finding an overrated, overpaid stiff you can't get rid of instead of the missing piece of the Stanley Cup puzzle. There's still time for redemption, however. Brire, after all, has another six years to make amends. But that's the problem, too. It's already a gamble to overpay in free agency, but many GMs are doubling down on the term to sweeten deals. And perhaps that's a no-brainer when it comes to the likes of Alex Ovechkin (Washington), Mike Richards (Philadelphia) and Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin (Pittsburgh). Is there an...
The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, which premieres tonight at 9 on HBO Canada, is as unique a whodunit as you're ever likely to find, focusing on the crime-solving efforts of an African woman who steps way outside traditional gender-role assumptions by opening her country's one and only female-run investigative service. At first, the only people to turn up at the newly named No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency are JLB Matekoni (Lucian Msamati), a local auto mechanic with an obvious affection for Precious, and Grace Makutsi (Anika Noni Rose), an awkward but highly motivated secretarial-school graduate looking for work as the private eye's assistant. Like [Alexander McCall Smith]'s books, this made-for-cable adaptation offers simple tales filled with colourful, straight-talking characters agai...
Garda Moran, executive director of a non-profit housing agency in Portage la Prairie, said maintenance of many housing units is a chronic problem because the province only gives her agency $2,000 a year per unit. That doesn't cover big-ticket items like roofing, and it doesn't cut it when one family can cause $10,000 in damage to a suite. That's a repair bill the Portage Friendship Centre Housing agency was stuck with recently. We've found out where the weaknesses are and we're tightening up," said [Joy Cramer]. "We've turned the corner on this. "It's been a very, very difficult couple of years, but we've made a lot of changes and we're looking forward with optimism," said Ward.
