Book club on Monday. Gym on Tuesday. Date night on Wednesday. Out on the town on Thursday. Quiet night in on Friday. It's good to have a routine. And it's good for your eyes too. Because with regular comprehensive eye exams at Specsavers,

you'll know just how healthy they are. Visit Spexsavers.cavers.cai to book your next eye exam. Eye exams provided by independent optometrists. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Mike Miles. Hockey Hall of Famer Ken Dryden is dead. He won six Stanley Cups during his nine years with the Montreal Canadiens, but he also had off nights as well. And in 2014, he told George Strombolopoulos,

fans weren't shy about voicing their disappointment. He added, though, that didn't diminish his passion. If you're going to do something, why not do it where it matters? Why not do it where it matters the most? The penalties are the worst, but the opportunities are by far the worst, too. There's nothing like winning in one of these environments. His Habs number 29 was retired in 2007. Dryden wrote several books about hockey and was also an executive with the Toronto Maple Leafs,

as well he was a lawyer, businessman, and politician, even running for the liberal leadership after Paul Martin stepped down in 2006. Dryden died Friday morning, surrounded by family, who asked that donations be made to the Princess Margaret Cancer Center or to the Concussion Legacy Foundation. Ken Dryden was 78 years old. Court records in Manitoba show the man accused of killing his sister and stabbing several others was out on bail at the time of the attack. Thursday, RCMP say Tyrone Samard attacked eight people in two homes on Hollow Water First Nation. The 26-year-old suspect fled in a stolen car and died after crashing into an RC&P cruiser. Records reveal Samarred was facing charges for assault with a weapon and mischief.

O' Winnipeg Court granted his release in June with conditions including a curfew and in order to not possess Russian weapons. The Assembly First Nations National Chiefs says a lack of police resources played a role in that mass stabbing. Cindy Woodhouse Nebenak extended her condolences to the family and cause policing in First Nation communities a jurisdictional mess. We used to have 58 First Nations policing services across the country. We're now down to 36. Why is there such a decline over the past, you know, decade and a half?

We also need to make sure that it's not a program anymore and that we push towards making policing as an essential service. Woodhouse Nipanak says the First Nation communities don't have enough funding to have public safety officers and calls upon the federal government to support creative and create safe and healthy communities. 12-year-old Alberta boys charged

with the attempted murder of his 7-year-old brother. The 12-year-old initially told Lathbridge police that an unknown male had entered the home, but Staff Sergeant Ashland Snowden says investigators don't believe that. A search warrant was executed at the residence and a knife believed to be involved in the offense was seized. As the investigation progressed,

evidence was obtained indicating the 12-year-old boy had stabbed his brother repeatedly and believed he'd killed him. The 12-year-old is in custody, the younger boy is in stable condition. Now, does something more positive? A family farm in Southeast Quebec have turned up the heat in their greenhouse to create a tropical climate ideal for growing ginger. It's an ingredient usually imported into Canada. They're part of the growing trend of producers trying to satisfy consumers' hunger

for made-in-Canada products, even if they're not usually grown in this country. As Atifa Padinar reports, their ginger is hitting all the right flavor notes. That's fresh ginger. In a greenhouse in Bromond, a small town about an hour southeast of Montreal, Farmer Sophie Gendron, shakes the dirt away from the roots she just pulled from the ground. The plants are tall and leafy, with pinkish ginger clustered at the base. This is a rare site in Canada, where the crop is almost always imported from warmer climates. Here, Jean-Gon and her partner, Dominic Benoit, have been experimenting with ginger for two years.

Benoit says they've recreated tropical conditions in Quebec's colder climate. We target 32 degrees during the day, and at night it goes down to 20. And this year, they hope to harvest 1,000 kilograms for the Quebec market. More Quebec-grown ginger will be heading to markets in Montreal and beyond in the coming weeks.
