‘So many deserving kids': Sask. Ride to the Max continues for 11th ride
Isaac had an opportunity to try out one of the bikes with the help of his mom, Jordan. (Hallee Mandryk/CTV News) A group of motorcyclists continued a decade-long tradition of riding for a good cause on Saturday in Martensville, Sask. 'One of the members of our club, years ago, his little boy had cancer. And so we started it then, and we've just kept it going ever since,' Jenz Wollny, the event organizer, said. Ride to the Max annually raises funds for families who have a child undergoing cancer treatment. The Jim Pattinson Children's Hospital connects a different family with the organizers each year. 'Whenever anyone wants to pick your own family, it really makes you feel special because there are so many deserving kids out there. So it's all for him. It's really special and fun for our whole family,' said James McCrimmon, father of the selected family, shared. James and Jordan McCrimmon have spent the last two and a half years in and out of hospital with their son, Isaac, who was diagnosed with leukemia at two years old. 'We're just overwhelmed. We are very excited. We've had a long couple of years, and anytime someone wants to celebrate us or him, we're happy about it. So we're very excited and grateful,' Jordan said. The funds from this event will help alleviate some of the financial burden that comes with lengthy hospital stays. Isaac is currently admitted at the hospital, but he was able to leave for the day to enjoy the over 50 motorcycles parading for him. 'We do a lot of split family time. He's at the hospital with me or James, and the other person is with the other two kids. So this has given us the ability to be together as a family and not have to work and deal with this at the same time,' Jordan said. The grand total won't be known for a little while, but Wollny says even after attending this event eleven times, the feeling of presenting the family with the funds is always special. 'Everybody believes it's a really good cause. It's amazing, it really is. Everybody's there, they see the family show up, and just see how happy they are to get a little extra money,' Wollny said. For the McCrimmons, it's a positive reminder that they have a loving community in their corner during a very difficult time. 'Fundraisers like these have let us be by his side for the last two and a half years without ever leaving. I don't think anyone will ever fully understand how much this actually helps us. It's pretty powerful,' James said.

Quebec clay tennis courts closing over asbestos concern
Several Quebec municipalities have closed their tennis courts over concerns about asbestos concentrations in clay products used to maintain them. Several Quebec municipalities have closed their tennis courts over concerns about asbestos concentrations in clay products used to maintain them. Samples that exceeded Canadian limits were found in a bag of clay in St-Sauveur. Julien Charest-Landry, St-Sauveur director of Public Works, said they were alerted several weeks ago about levels of asbestos in a bag of Har-Tru clay the city uses for its courts. 'It states the material could contain up to 0.1 per cent of asbestos. But the permitted limit in Canada is less than 0.1 per cent,' he said. While samples taken from the tennis courts showed no signs of asbestos, he says Environment Canada advised them to close their clay courts as a precaution while the investigation is underway. It started a domino effect of closures across the province. In Montreal, 32 clay courts were closed down across 5 boroughs, including Outremont, Verdun, LaSalle, Saint-Leonard and Pierrefonds-Roxboro. American company Har-Tru, the biggest provider of clay for courts in Quebec, said it's investigating the matter. 'Har-Tru anticipates a temporary hold on the import, sale, and use of Har-Tru materials in Quebec and perhaps other parts of Canada. We will work with authorities to remain in full compliance with the law and meet expectations. We are hopeful new testing, re-testing, and a collaborative process across the U.S./Canadian border will make this a brief disruption,' it said in a statement to CTV. Tennis Quebec Executive Director Julie Vezina said they are in contact with health authorities and members who may have concerns. 'At the moment no one has asked clubs to close, it's really just preventative measures,' she said. In Pointe-Claire's Valois Tennis Club, all five of its clay courts were open for play Friday. Facilities Manager Thomas Brown said they take precautions such as protective clothing and masks when handling the clay and spreading it each spring. He said the fact that no courts have tested positive for asbestos is a good sign. 'Anyone like us who lays down clay in April, there's probably something to be found in the bag but there's nothing to be found on the court,' he said. Still, he said they won't be touching any of the stockpiles of product they have at the club. Members are also holding their breath, hoping the club won't have to close. 'I hope the issue is addressed,' said James Shetler. 'But it's not going to stop me from playing.'
