Canadian swimmer Summer McIntosh has won her third consecutive gold medal at the World Swimming Championships being played in Singapore. Today, Summer McIntosh won the gold medal in the women's 200-meter butterfly event with a timing of 2 minutes 1.99 seconds.

Summer McIntosh missed out on setting a world record in the event by just .18 seconds (point 18 seconds). She said she wasn't happy with her swim in the final 25 meters but was happy to win the gold medal.

With McIntosh’s win, Canada continues to build its reputation as a swimming powerhouse. Local coaches and players say her success is inspiring a new generation of Canadian swimmers. Talking with Connect FM, a young parent who is taking his son to Surrey Knights in Surrey told that McIntosh’s rise has already encouraged more registrations: "Her success shows young athletes that Canadians can dominate on the world stage."

In this event, Regan Smith of the United States won the silver medal and Elizabeth Dekkers of Australia won the bronze medal.

Meanwhile, Canada suffered a disappointment in the women's 50-meter backstroke event today.

In this event, Canada's Kylie Masse finished fourth and Canadian Ingrid Wilm finished eighth. The Chinese swimmer, who finished third in the close contest, had a timing of 27.30 seconds, while Kylie Masse completed the event in 27.33 seconds.

The change to mail delivery is expected to increase the time it takes Canada Post to deliver letter mail from an average of three to four days to an average of three to seven days.

Former MPs launch volunteer effort to renew NDP ahead of leadership race

Two former New Democrat MPs who lost their seats in the April election are launching a project to renew the party ahead of its March convention. Peter Julian and Matthew Green say their volunteer group is hoping to engage with party members across the country after the party's crushing election loss. The NDP lost official party status when it elected only seven members in April, and Jagmeet Singh stepped down as leader when he lost his own seat. The party is set to choose its next leader at the convention in Winnipeg. Julian and Green say the NDP can't afford to wait six months to begin an eng

New BC Green leader Lowan says province must create sustainable funding for cities

Newly elected BC Green Leader Emily Lowan says a wealth tax and a windfall profit tax would bring more money for social services and "ensure that the richest corporations and one per cent in B.C. are paying their fair share." Lowan spoke to delegates at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities annual convention just a day after becoming the party's new leader, winning on the first ballot against Jonathan Kerr and Adam Bremner-Akins. She says senior levels of government consistently tell municipalities there's no money for social services, "yet when foreign, state-owned companies or America
