We're covering this side of the river. The young siblings were first reported missing from their home in rural Nova Scotia the morning of May 2nd, and they've not been seen since. We need some type of closure.

Cheryl Robinson is a close family friend and volunteering in the search. Until we have answers, we have hope, basically. The Ontario-based nonprofit, please bring me home, led the charge on the search. The children's grandmother, Belinda, Ray says she's grateful for the outpouring of community support, but she's becoming even more anxious as the colder months close in. Am I not going to be able to search? I know they're out there.

Selina Alders, CBC News, Picto County, Nova Scotia. After more than a century, the Vatican says it will return cultural items belonging to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities to Canada. It comes after two years of negotiations led by Indigenous, groups. The Holy See is pledging to give them to Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops so they can be returned. The items will be flung back to Canada December 6th and assessed at the Museum of History in Gatno. The museum will work with indigenous leaders to determine where they should be returned.

Vancouver Rise FC has won the inaugural Northern Super League Championship

in a riveting final against AFC Toronto, capping a season that is packed stands across the nation. Mandy Sham has more on the final and the future it's building. It goes to the right front, and this time it's in, off the foot of McCaslin and in Keeley Hunter. Would there be anyone else? 17-year-old striker, Kaylee Hunter, rounding out a breakout season with the first goal of the game.

The rookie of the year, giving AFC Toronto an early lead, energizing young fans in the stadium. I think it's amazing, but a girl like her could be on a team. In the end, it was Vancouver Rise that rose to the occasion, winning 2-1 to take home the trophy of the first ever NSL final. Holy Word! The roar of the crowd isn't just noise. It's market demand, says Diana Matheson, co-founder of the Northern Super League.

And I am telling you, come back to me by 2030, this is going to be a billion-dollar industry in Canada. Mandy Sham, CBC News, Toronto. The British Columbia government is now limiting when your employer can ask you for a sick note. As long as a worker is away for five days or less, bosses can't ask unless it happens more than twice in a year. Labor Minister Jennifer Whitesites says family doctors are happy about the change. Really heard overwhelmingly from physicians and from the medical community was that

this is a real time wasteer for them to have to tie up an entire appointment time to not necessarily even be able to make a clinical intervention. Eliminating, rather, mandatory sick notes was a key election promise from Premier David Eby. That is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Mike Miles. Thank you.
