Waterloo says 'high likelihood' unapproved LiveBarn streams were active since May
The City of Waterloo says there is a "high likelihood" that unscheduled LiveBarn streams at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex (WMRC) ran from May 1 to July 23. City staff were first made aware of the issue on July 23, when it was discovered that a LiveBarn camera meant for streaming minor hockey games was active outside scheduled times, livestreaming footage of children taking part in summer camp activities within view of the camera. A release from the city on Wednesday says the stream is only available to subscribers but, according to LiveBarn, none of the footage was downloaded or shared. The city says the WMRC was the only facility affected in Waterloo. It says other groups, outside of children's summer camps, may have been recorded during the extended period, too. The city says it has contacted all relevant renters of the space and the guardians of campers who may have been impacted. LiveBarn cameras remain offline in all Waterloo arenas while the city works with the Waterloo Minor Hockey Association and the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario. LiveBarn confirms unauthorized livestreaming A LiveBarn spokesperson confirmed livestreaming cameras filmed summer camp programs at: The Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex in Waterloo. Hespeler Arena and Dickson Arena in Cambridge. The Lions Arena and Grand River Arena in Kitchener. The City of Waterloo says according to its contract with LiveBarn, the livestreaming company is responsible for any information recorded through the camera. "The agreement states that LiveBarn has all responsibility for the cameras and associated equipment, including the operation and use, and signage," the city said in an emailed statement sent to CBC last month. The Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner has been notified of the livestreaming issue. "We are in the early stages of gathering information to determine next steps and cannot share additional details at this time. We can follow up with you when there are further developments," said an emailed statement from the privacy commissioner's office to CBC in July.

Tragically Hip offers helping hand to Canada women's rugby team fundraising campaign
The Tragically Hip is doing its bit to help support the Canadian women's rugby team ahead of this month's World Cup in England. The iconic Canadian band is selling a limited-edition T-shirt with proceeds going to supporting the second-ranked Canadian women. "This team is the embodiment of what it means to be Canadian — passionate, humble, and resilient," the band said in a statement. "This partnership is about getting all of Canada behind one of the most inspiring untold stories in this country. It's lifting up a team and a nation on the world stage, cheering on our women as they aim to achieve their dreams." The T-shirt, which retails for $45, is black with The Hip — above the tagline 'Since 1984' — added into Rugby Canada's red shield logo. "This T-shirt is about belief in our team and pride in supporting Canada," said Rugby Canada CEO Nathan Bombrys. "To have the legendary and distinctly Canadian band The Tragically Hip publicly backing our team speaks volumes about the pride this group of rugby players has inspired across the country." The Canadian women operate on a far smaller budget than top-ranked England, as well as No. 3 New Zealand and No. 4 France. To that end, Rugby Canada launched its "Mission: Win Rugby World Cup" fundraising campaign in March with the goal of raising $1 million. It says it has reached more than 88 per cent of that target, money that is being used to support the squad in its tournament preparation. The Canadian women play their final World Cup tune-up match Saturday against fifth-ranked Ireland in Belfast. Canada opens Group B play Fiji on Aug. 23 in York before facing No. 9 Wales on Aug. 30 in Manchester and No. 8 Scotland on Sept. 6 in Exeter at the expanded 16-team tournament. The Canadian women finished fourth at the last World Cup. Their best showing at the tournament was runner-up to host France in 2014.

City of Waterloo receives update on unscheduled arena livestreaming of summer camps
An undated image of the Waterloo Memorial Recreational Complex. (Source: City of Waterloo) The City of Waterloo says it has received an update from a sports streaming service regarding unscheduled livestreaming of the hockey arena at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex (WMRC). City officials were first notified of the issue on July 23, when they learned that cameras had inadvertently been streaming footage from the facility without authorization. At the time, summer camp programs were being held at the complex. On July 24, the City of Cambridge confirmed the cameras were 'inadvertently' livestreaming children participating in summer camp programs at the Hespeler Arena, Dickson Arena and Cambridge Sports Park. They were also active at facility ice pads. The equipment is owned and operated by LiveBarn Inc., as part of their streaming partnership with the Minor Hockey Alliance of Ontario. City staff say the LiveBarn cameras were only supposed to be used during games for the Waterloo Minor Hockey Association and accessible through a subscription. LiveBarn has since confirmed that the WMRC is the only City of Waterloo arena where this occurred, according to a media release issued Wednesday by the city. The company said none of the content streamed between July 1 and July 23 was downloaded or shared. However, the city says there is a high likelihood the arena was actively livestreamed and accessible to LiveBarn subscribers between May 1 and July 23. Officials say additional rental groups may have been affected, and that all impacted facility booking holders and guardians have been notified. The city says it is continuing to work with LiveBarn, the Waterloo Minor Hockey Association and the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario to review procedures and determine whether policy changes are needed. LiveBarn cameras at all City of Waterloo arenas remain offline.
