2 charged with manslaughter in case of missing Sask. man
Police say they have charged two people, aged 35 and 30, with manslaughter.
Bear, 30, has not been found. Pelican Lake First Nation is about 230 kilometres north of Saskatoon, although police say their investigation indicated Bear may have travelled to other areas including Spiritwood, Prince Albert, Saskatoon or an area off Highway 945 known as "Clearwater."
RCMP said in a news release they are committed to finding Bear and shared a statement from his family.
"Kebo has been missing for a long time, and we want him to come home. We are asking anyone who might know anything about where he is or what happened to please call and say something. Our family misses him every day," the statement reads.
"He has a mom and dad, brothers and sisters. Most important, he has children who don't understand what happened and why their dad doesn't come to see them anymore. Please call and say something if you know anything at all. Our family needs answers and closure. Please help us and Kebo have some rest."
Bear is about five-foot-eight and 130 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair in a buzz cut. He also has a tattoo of a bear paw on his left arm, a ring tattoo on one of his right fingers, and ear and lip piercings. He was last seen wearing a black winter jacket, black pants, a black hat and red shoes.

Convicted murderer who changed his name dies in B.C. prison
The Mission Institution in Mission, B.C., is seen from the air in 2019. (Pete Cline / CTV News Vancouver) Warning: This story contains disturbing details. A convicted murder has died of 'apparent natural causes' in a federal prison in B.C.'s Fraser Valley, according to the Correctional Service of Canada. Ryan Brady died Sunday at Mission Institution, a medium-security prison in Mission, B.C., the CSC said in a news release Tuesday. At the time of his death, the 59-year-old was serving a life sentence that began on April 1, 1986. The CSC did not specify the conviction that led to Brady's sentence, but news reports from 2010 in the Coast Reporter indicate that Brady was known as Darren Kelly at the time of his crimes. According to the Sunshine Coast newspaper, Brady, né Kelly, abducted a three-year-old girl named Genoa 'Genni' May from a motel in Davis Bay in December 1985, while her parents were sleeping just two metres away. He raped and murdered the child, whose body was found along a logging road the following day. Brady was arrested a week later and pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, receiving an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. He remained behind bars for the rest of his life. The CSC said Brady's next of kin has been notified of his death, and the Correctional Service of Canada will review the circumstances surrounding it, as the service does with all in-custody deaths.

Edmonton airport opens ‘safe room' to help human trafficking victims
A "safe room" for survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, and other trauma or crisis was opened at Edmonton International Airport on July 30, 2025. (Galen McDougall / CTV News Edmonton) Edmonton International Airport (YEG) has dedicated a room to help survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, and other trauma or crisis. The room consists of couches, a bed, a kitchenette, and a full bathroom. Users who are taken there by staff, who have been trained to recognize the signs of trafficking, will also receive fresh clothes, food, a phone and access to the internet, and be connected with community supports. 'It's really looking for those signs, it's accessing security or RCMP, and then having them intervene,' explained Erin Isfeld, the airport's corporate communications manager. The space was officially opened Wednesday, on the United Nations World Day against Trafficking in Persons, and given the Indigenous name 'Kîsê Watotâtôwin,' which means sharing and giving kindness and compassion. Officials at the opening ceremony said it is the second of its kind in Canada, after one was opened in Calgary. Calgary's safe room has been so impactful, the airport is opening a second, according to Paul Brandt, the face of the Not in My City organization, which is working to eradicate human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Not in My City partnered on the project, as did Action Coalition on Human Trafficking Alberta, the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams, the Centre to Empower All Survivors of Exploitation, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They say airports have a critical role to play in intercepting human trafficking, as victims are often moved through major airports. 'It takes an average of seven times for a trafficking victim to have the courage to step up and ask for help, so when they do, we have to be ready,' Brandt said. According to Not in My City, human trafficking is a $180-billion industry worldwide. An estimated 40 million people globally are currently being trafficked. 'Between labour trafficking and sex trafficking – all forms of trafficking – it is a degradation of human rights and human dignity, and so the safe room provides an opportunity for a reset, but also that safety from traffickers,' Brandt said. Leduc RCMP Insp. Kiel Samotej echoed the sentiment, saying, 'It provides them that safe place to talk about what's going on and how they ended up in this situation.' On one of the walls of the safe room hangs a portrait of a featureless Indigenous person wrapped in a blanket. When the piece was commissioned, artist Scott Laboucan was only told it was for a safe space. 'When I got here, it was so much more significant,' he told CTV News Edmonton on Wednesday. The absence of facial features in his characters is symbolic of the loss of identity residential school survivors experience, he said, drawing a comparison with that experienced by trafficking survivors. According to Not in My City, Indigenous people make up more than 50 per cent of trafficking victims in Canada. Should an Indigenous person find themselves in the room, Laboucan hopes they are comforted by his artwork, from the familiar geometrics to the blanket. 'There's blanket ceremonies. Blankets are gifted for graduates. So that importance (and) also that comfort, that warmth of being wrapped in a blanket. They'll get emotional, like a release, or it'll just be a silent strength, like I'm so happy there's something in here that relates to me.' With files from CTV News Edmonton's Nicole Weisberg
