\"\"Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a> and WhatsApp<\/a> are all back online after global outage that began just before noon on Monday.<\/p>\n

The website Downdetector<\/a>, which collates complaints about web outages, said there were more than 30,000 Canadians complaining about an outage. Instagram logged 21,000 reports of outages, while there were at least 14,000 reports about WhatsApp in Canada alone.<\/p>\n

The company did not disclose the reason for the outage, but it appears to be related to the Domain Name System (DNS), which routes internet traffic to where it is supposed to go.<\/p>\n

\"\"High school sports are back.<\/p>\n

The St. Clair Catholic District School Board<\/a> and the Lambton-Kent District School Board<\/a> announced on Monday that secondary school athletics have returned effective immediately, but with some new public health safety changes for indoor spectators.<\/p>\n

All spectators 12 years of age and older must be fully vaccinated to attend indoor sporting events. The school boards said they\u2019re currently developing a procedure and putting appropriate staff in place to review and verify vaccination status at indoor athletic events and spectators won\u2019t be allowed to attend indoor events until further notice.<\/p>\n

\"\"Bubba Wallace<\/a> made history Monday, becoming just the second Black driver to win NASCAR<\/a>‘s Cup Series race.<\/p>\n

The last Black person to win the Cup Series was way back 1963 when NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Wendell Scott led the race to the checkers.<\/p>\n

Wallace was born in Alabama. And last year at the same track, he found a noose in his garage stall, prompting an FBI hate-crime investigation.<\/p>\n
