The CBC's Amy Feehan took to the streets of Corner Brook on Monday to hear how they were taking a stand.

It's still unclear what help will be available in the months to come under Jordan's Principle, and that's causing concern. Jordan's Principle is the result of a ruling by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. It's meant to ensure that First Nations children in Canada can get the services and support they need, when they need them. There's been a delay or shortfall this year in getting that federal funding to students in this province. As a result, the provincial government stepped in to help, with 6-point-4 million dollars to continue supports for students. The provincial education department confirms that the additional assistance will be available until the end of this school year. Jennifer Broadbent is a parent in Corner Brook who still has concerns that her son, Obie, won't get the help he needs. She spoke with the CBC's Alex Kennedy.

Mickton Phiri is priest-in-charge at St. Michael and All Angels Anglican Church. He and other Anglicans in the Diocese of Western Newfoundland Labrador Straits met Bishop Budde in person.

The United States will recognize only two sexes, male and female, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered on Monday. And those two sexes cannot be changed.

While many say the executive order will be challenged in court, it still has many members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community worried.

Having their jersey retired by their team is a tremendous honour for an athlete.
