Wildfire Disruption (Europe): France and Spain are battling fast-moving wildfires near Bordeaux and Madrid, with about 300,000 people evacuated or told to shelter in place—bad news for summer travellers and wine-country plans.

Family Travel Ideas (Canada): BC Day events are lined up at the BC Farm Museum and Fort Langley National Historic Site, plus Parks Canada’s Canada Strong pass keeps many sites free through early September. Wildlife Travel (Canada–U.S.): Four beluga whales rescued from Marineland Canada have arrived in Chicago for new care, marking another step in the relocation plan.
