They saved lives off the coast of British Columbia

from As It Happens

Six people are presumed dead after a charter boat sank in British Columbia -- but things would have been even worse if a couple sailing by hadn’t done what they could to save everyone they could. A resident of Fort Simpson in the Northwest Territories tells us evacuating due to wildfire is never easy -- but her community is one of many that's getting a lot of practice. Just hours before two earthquakes hit Venezuela, Beatriz Ochoa arrived in Caracas for a vacation. Now the aid worker is trying to help in any way she can. Mauro Eustáquio tells us what it was like to watch his little brother Stephen make Canadian soccer history, with a jaw-dropping stoppage time goal against South Africa. The first dinosaur bone ever found in Antarctica is unearthed -- not from the ground, but from a drawer in a British museum. The latest on an Alaskan man named Dan Sullivan who's trying to run against Senator Dan Sullivan -- whose name was on the ballot, then off the ballot, and is now back on.As It Happens, the Monday Edition. Radio that thinks having two Dan Sullivans is kind of redun-Dan.
