October 28th is the 301st day of the year. There are 64 days remaining until the end of the year.

The 2019 Poppy Campaign is on!

Get your poppy to honour and remember those who served and sacrificed for our freedoms.

People are sharing their photos online using the #GetYourPoppy.

Make plans to stop by the 94-3 CKSY studio on Thursday morning for the Annual CKMORNINGS Trick or Treat Show.

Bring the kids by between 7-9am and get a treat bag and some treats for Halloween!

There’s a petition on Change.org with more than 150,000 signatures to get the government to officially move the date of Halloween from October 31st to the last Saturday in October.

But it doesn’t look like the date change is happening, so the people behind it are trying a new strategy: Rather than moving Halloween, they want to make a new holiday.

It would be called National Trick or Treat Day, and it would be on the final Saturday of October.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is no longer the world’s wealthiest man.

His company had average third quarter earnings, which caused his net worth to drop to $103.9 billion. Amazon lost 26% in net income in the third quarter. Bezos also lost money when he transferred shares of his company to his ex-wife MacKenzie as part of their divorce settlement. She is worth $32.7 billion.

Microsoft’s Bill Gates is now the world’s wealthiest man, again, with a personal worth of $105.7 billion.

The tallest player in the NBA, 7-foot-5 Tacko Fall of the Boston Celtics, hit his head on a low ceiling after washing his hands last week.

The next morning, he felt sick, so he went into concussion protocol. He missed Boston’s first two games, but was cleared to play on Saturday night.

Tacko is from Senegal and has never experienced Winter. Last week he was given the tallest Canada Goose jacket ever made.
