In tonight’s top story: A human-caused wildfire is on the doorstep of Fort Good Hope in the Northwest Territories, after exploding in size from an abandoned campfire. Officials say the fire has grown to 200 hectares and now threatens the isolated community of Fort Good Hope. Nathaniel Dove reports on what is quickly becoming a very serious situation.

The path toward peace in Ukraine took a few small steps forward this weekend at an international peace summit. Representatives from dozens of countries gathered in Switzerland to draft a roadmap of how to get there. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was at the conference, but other major world leaders skipped it. And as Mackenzie Gray reports, that’s cast doubt on how quickly peace can finally come to Ukraine.

Meanwhile in Canada, Ukrainians have been watching developments at the peace summit closely. And with another planned for the coming months, there is hope world leaders are being galvanized to bring an end to the war without giving in to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Heidi Petracek spoke to Ukrainian-Canadians about their hope for the future.

Plus, Israel says it's pausing daytime military operations along a 12-kilometre route in southern Gaza to allow more aid into the besieged enclave. As Redmond Shannon reports, aid agencies are unsure what this means but say the only solution is a permanent ceasefire.

It was an emotional day for parishioners of St. Anne’s Anglican in Toronto, Ont. On Sunday, they held their first Sunday service since the historic building was destroyed by a fire last week. Kayla McLean reports.

And finally, It has been nine years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued its final report. An Indigenous-led research organization says of the 94 calls to action only 13 have been completed so far. And as Melissa Ridgen explains, they say progress is so slow it’s no longer worth tracking.
