1. Diabetes reversed: Canadian researchers believe they may have found a way to reverse Type 2 diabetes, a chronic disease thought to last a lifetime. A team from McMaster University says a combination of a low-calorie diet, consistent exercise and the addition of several diabetes medications appears to have reversed the disease in some patients.

2. Climber rescued: An Argentinian climber who's been trapped on Canada's tallest mountain since Monday, after a series of avalanches, has been rescued.

3. Inmates on strike: Some inmates in a provincial Saskatchewan prison have launched a labour strike after seeing their daily wages get slashed. Budget cuts reduced working wages from $3 a day to $1 a day.

4. Transgender youth: A new study from the University of British Columbia is raising red flags about self-harm amongst transgender youth in Prairie provinces.

5. Cross-country trip: A pair of Ontario sisters are looking to travel across Canada the old fashioned way. Katie and Jewel Kreca have saddled up their horses and hope to embark on an eight-month journey across the country.
