Statement by Minister Guilbeault on Portuguese Heritage Month
Canada News Centre 01 Jun 2025, 19:30 GMT+10 OTTAWA, June 1, 2025 In June, we are pleased to mark Portuguese Heritage Month, an opportunity to celebrate the history and culture of the Luso-Canadian community, an integral part of our national fabric. Portuguese people have made Canada their home since the early 1950s-most of them from the Azores and Madeira-in search of a better life. Armed with their courage and will, they settled on Canadian soil to help create the country we cherish today. More than 500 years after the first Portuguese explorers set foot in Canada, there are now almost 500,000 people of Portuguese origin living here. Present in all our major cities, they form one of the largest Portuguese diasporas in the world. They also excel in a variety of fields; from education and politics to the arts, finance and community service, members of Luso-Canadian communities are making Canada stronger through their vitality and hard work. Throughout June, I invite everyone to celebrate the heritage and culture of Luso-Canadians and to mark Portugal Day on June 10. Dia de Portugal, de Cames e das Comunidades Portuguesas is the perfect time to reflect on what unites us and recognize just how significantly our fellow citizens of Portuguese origin have contributed to our culture and diversity. Happy Portuguese Heritage Month!

Statement from Minister McGuinty on Canadian Armed Forces Day
June 1, 2025 - Ottawa, Ontario The Honourable David J. McGuinty, Minister of National Defence, issued the following statement today in recognition of Canadian Armed Forces Day: "Today, we honour the brave members of the Canadian Armed Forces and thank them for their unwavering dedication to our country. Whether serving at home or abroad, they uphold peace, freedom, and democracy with professionalism, resilience, and a deep commitment to Canadian values. Members of the Canadian Armed Forces work tirelessly to protect Canada's sovereignty, support communities in times of crisis, and stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies to promote global peace and security. In a world of growing threats, we must secure Canadian sovereignty by strengthening our military. That's why we are making historic investments in our defence capabilities-modernizing equipment, embracing cutting-edge technology, and reinforcing security infrastructure in the North. These efforts ensure that our Forces are ready to meet today's challenges and those of tomorrow. Supporting our military means supporting its people. We are working to improve housing, childcare, health care, and career opportunities for CAF members and their families-because their well-being is a national priority. To all current and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces, and to your families: thank you. Your service and sacrifices represent the very best of Canada. I am proud to stand with you and deeply grateful for all you do in service to our nation."

G4 geomagnetic storm predicted tonight, Northern Lights viewing possible across North Alabama
The Space Weather Prediction Center is forecasting a G4 geomagnetic storm to continue during the night of June 1 into the morning of June 2. In order to see the Northern Lights this far south in North Alabama, the Kp index has to be high. The Kp value is something we look at that's associated with the strength of the geomagnetic storm. The center is forecasting a Kp index between 7 and 8 after dark and into the early overnight hours. Around here, we need it to be between 8 and 9 for us to see the lights. The last time we had a spectacular show here in North Alabama, the G4 storm that was predicted strengthened to a G5 and the Kp index was between 8 and 9! The sky should be mostly clear tonight but we will be battling the smoky conditions in our area from the Canadian wildfires. This could hinder viewing. In order to see the Northern Lights you have to get away from city lights and use a long exposure camera, which you can use on your smart phone. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
