NHL DRAFT: Nova Scotia's Brady Peddle picked by Penguins, Cole Chandler to the Bruins
Brady Peddle is hoping to join forces with fellow Nova Scotian Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh one day. Article content The Penguins selected Antigonish's Peddle in the third round (91st overall) of the NHL draft in Los Angeles on Saturday. Peddle is a six-foot-three, 203-pound defenceman who played for the Waterloo Black Hawks of the USHL this past season. Article content Article content 'It was crazy, to be honest, it didn't really feel real,' Peddle said about watching the draft at home in Antigonish. 'It was kind of hard to hear and then I heard a glimpse of my name and then I stood up and there it was. It was unreal. It still hasn't really set in yet but it was great because I was with some friends and family so it was perfect.' Article content Article content The only person from Peddle's inner circle who wasn't there was his father Brad, who was in Columbus because he's a scout with the Blue Jackets. Article content Article content 'He's gutted he can't be here for me,' he said about his dad, who has also worked as head coach of the St. Francis Xavier X-Men for 20 years. 'But he's got a job to do in Columbus so that's OK.' Article content Peddle had 10 points and was plus-12 in 62 games last season as a USHL rookie after spending the previous two years in the Bishop Kearney Selects program in Rochester, N.Y. Scouts kept moving him up their rankings after gaining a steady appreciation for his skating, reach and defensive reliability. He is committed to Michigan State University for the fall of 2026. Article content 'It's going to be a long road but I'm excited,' he said. 'I'll be getting great development at Michigan State for four years – or however long that ends up being – but all of that will be a great experience, too.' Article content Article content In the short term, Peddle has the option to return to Waterloo for a second season or perhaps play for the QMJHL's Charlottetown Islanders, who acquired his rights from the Gatineau Olympiques a few weeks ago. But for now, he's happy to soak up the whirlwind of being an NHL pick, which includes a trip to Pittsburgh soon for development camp and a few calls from the Penguins brass. Article content 'Kyle Dubas, the GM, called me about an hour ago and just said 'Congratulations and it's great to have you,'' he said. 'And then about 15 minutes ago, the head coach (Dan Muse) called me just to say congrats and all of that. It was pretty cool.' Article content When asked if he'd heard from Crosby yet, Peddle joked that his brother Tyler is still the only one in the family who's had that kind of conversation. Article content 'He had a call with him a couple of years ago when he got drafted in the (QMJHL) by Drummondville because Rimouski was going to take him and they actually got him to call him,' Brady said about his brother Tyler, who is now a forward for the Saint John Sea Dogs and was a seventh-round pick of the Blue Jackets in 2023.

She left a note saying 'I dinged your back passenger door,' adding she was 'happy to pay' and leaving her phone number. The ruling says Peddle later said she would pay the repair bill after appraisal or pay $2,000 without an appraisal — or that Brooks should file an insurance claim. But instead Brooks made an insurance claim, then sought $500 from Peddle to reimburse him for the deductible, while the Insurance Corp. of B.C. paid the rest of the $1,731 bill. Peddle argued she shouldn't have to cover the deductible as she never agreed to pay if Brooks filed an insurance claim, but the tribunal decision says the note constituted an offer to pay for repair costs. The decision issued on Friday says the note was a 'settlement agreement' that Peddle couldn't change without both parties agreeing, entitling Brooks to the $500 deductible, interest on the amount and $125 in tribunal fees.

Co-operators Community Funds Annual Report shows a growing need for financial support for Canadian charities and non-profits
TORONTO, May 27, 2025 /CNW/ - In a time of economic uncertainty, many young and vulnerable Canadians are relying more heavily on the resources provided by non-profit organizations and charities for financial, mental health, and well-being supports. However, despite the growing reliance on the essential services offered by these types of organizations, many are struggling to meet their funding targets. Escalating pressures, ranging from the mental health crisis to healthcare system shortcomings, to the soaring cost of living, including food and housing insecurity, create barriers to non-profits and charities and their ability to respond to unmet needs in their communities. Co-operators Community Funds (CCF) acts as the philanthropic arm of Co-operators to grant charities, non-profits, co-operatives, and social enterprises with the funding they need to help with skills development and increased employability of underserved youth and/or people with mental health challenges. "Now more than ever, there is a critical need for programs that infuse community organizations with the resources they need to deliver on their mission." says Shawna Peddle, Associate Vice President of Citizenship at Co-operators. "The funding we provide through CCF, in part, supports the programming capacity of community organizations to address society's increasing dependence on their services. All towards a purpose that we share as a co-operative: helping meet unmet needs and generating meaningful, lasting impacts for individuals." In 2024, CCF received more than 100 grant applications, the most ever in a single year. In response, the CCF Board approved new guidelines to provide additional funding capacity to help meet the programming needs of the organizations that CCF supports. In total, $1,389,000 was disbursed to 59 charitable and non-profit organizations. "Communities are the foundation of our shared Canadian identity." added Peddle. "They serve a fundamental purpose as a place where culture, values, creativity, and prosperity can flourish while fostering a sense of connection and belonging that strengthens the social fabric of our country." CCF has a long-standing commitment to help underserved individuals gain the confidence and skills necessary to progress along their path to employability. Since its inception in 1995, CCF has provided $12.4 million to 267 organizations across Canada. "The charitable and non-profit sectors are critical levers to community resilience and can serve as a reliable source of services that help meet the unmet needs of people from all walks of life," says Sean Geobey, Chairperson, Co-operators Community Funds Board of Directors. "The current circumstances are particularly troubling and underscore the vital role CCF can play to enhance community connectedness and change lives."
