Manitobans continue to look for the best in less-than-ideal COVID-19 situations in this week s good news.
Another COVID-19 summer is on the horizon, and yet, plans for Kids Day Camps are still in the works.
Boyd Kleiver, program director at Roseau River Bible Camp, says their camp opened up registration to campers back in March and already have over 200 campers registered.
When it comes to restrictions, Kleiver says, We don t really think the restrictions (this year) will be more limiting than what they were last year. Our sports skills was one skill that we x ed, but all of the other skills were good to go. Archery and ropes had disinfection stations. We were able to make each skill work, with a few adaptions, to what a regular summer would look like.

“This investigative success has a clear message, those who assault the weakest aren t safe anywhere, says German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer.
Minister Seehofer is Germany s top security official and he recently thanked the authorities for their success in taking down this platform. That s what investigators work day and night, online and offline, globally, says Seehofer. We ll do everything within our power to protect the kids from these disgusting crimes.
The platform taken down was one of the biggest international darknet sites and was used by more than 400,000 registered members, according to German prosecutors. According to the official statement, the German police task force worked in cooperation with Europol and law enforcement authorities from the Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, the United States, and Canada.

Germany said its scheme to take in refugees from Greek islands ended on Thursday as the last 103 people arrived more than six months after a fire destroyed the Moria camp.
But Berlin is facing criticism for ending the scheme while many migrants are still living in a crowded camp in Greece which has been described as “Moria 2.0”.

“Ending this process is an act of irresponsibility towards all those who are left behind on the islands without any prospects of protection or safety,” said Guenter Burkhardt, the executive director of pro-migration group Pro Asyl.
The group called for the programme to be extended to include more of the migrants stranded in Greece after fleeing Syria and Afghanistan.
