0:40 | It's been nearly a year since Russia invaded Ukraine, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths (including civilians) and Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II. Ukraine's resolve truly is remarkable. We go live to an undisclosed location amidst a blackout for an update on a group of Canadians training new police officers and firefighters how to provide life-saving medical care in a combat scenario. But first...

3:42 | It's always cool to see somebody's dream come true in real time. That happened Saturday night when Matt Berlin, goaltender for the University of Alberta Golden Bears, was tapped on the shoulder to finish out the Oilers/Blackhawks game.

5:30 | Are you one of the Canadians who wouldn't pass a political purity test? Do your ideas and approaches to issues often fall outside rigid politics? Charles Adler spent the weekend thinking about his values, and how a chip on his shoulder steered him away from where he belongs.

36:35 | Ukrainian civilians are being called to the front lines of the war effort, many of them serving their country as new firefighters and police officers. A Canadian contingent is there right now, giving these recruits the tools to Tactical Combat Casualty Care. In the middle of a blackout, Nikki Booth and Vitalyi Gritsko explain what they're doing, and how it's saving lives.
