First Nations Bank reaches funding deal for Whistler development
WHISTLER — First Nations Bank of Canada says it has reached a deal to help fund a new Indigenous-led development in Whistler, B.C. The money is going to Lil'wat Business Group to help it build Tseqwtsúqum, a housing and commercial space planned for the Function Junction neighbourhood of the mountain town. Funding is coming through the Indigenous Land Development Program that First Nations Bank is running in partnership with the Canada Infrastructure Bank. The federal agency agreed last year to put up to $100 million to support the program, which provides below-market rate loans to help Indigenous communities realize their development goals. First Nations Bank did not disclose financial terms of the Lil'wat Business Group deal, but says it is its largest yet under its Indigenous Land Development Program. The bank said in February as it announced the first deals through the program that it had $140 million in projects initially approved, with Canada Infrastructure Bank covering $30 million of the funding.

Bec Judd makes startling health confession as she aims to be 'completely transparent' on her Vain-ish podcast
Rebecca Judd has opened up about her struggle with cold sores. The AFL WAG, 42, took to Instagram on Monday to share a snap of a fever blister on her lower lip, candidly revealing that she's only had them three times in her life. Cold sores are contagious, fluid-filled blisters that usually form on or around the lips and are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). In the caption of the post, Bec revealed her battle with the incurable condition, while also sharing the unlikely person she got them from. 'I've only ever had x3 cold sores in my life,' she began. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. '1. My first at 36yrs old. '2. The day this photo was taken when I had to shoot a LIPSTICK campaign for @theskincarecompany. '3. The day I recorded this @vainishpodcast episode where I tell the story about how my Mum gave me cold sore number 1,' she wrote. 'I'm still furious,' she added. In the third episode of Bec's recently released Vain-ish podcast, she revealed that she contracted cold sores from her mum, who had one on her lip in Whistler while she and her family were skiing. Despite Bec's mum assuring her she'd 'never given it to anyone', the Jaggad founder woke up the next day with a blister on her lip. Bec also admitted in the episode that her cold sores are triggered by long periods in the sun. The mum-of-four recently told Stellar magazine that she wants to be 'completely transparent' as she discusses beauty in her new podcast alongside best friend Jess Roberts. 'I'm 42, and I don't have a line on my face,' she confessed. 'I'm telling you it's not because I get eight hours' sleep a night, all right?' She went on to say that 2025 is the year we 'stop gaslighting' women by lying about the procedures we've had done. 'You get to a certain age where it's like, come on, let's be a bit more honest. This is the year where we stop bullsh***ing everyone and we fess up,' she added. Rebecca said 'everyone should be a little honest and have better conversations around beauty, aesthetics and wellness.'
