Your morning news roundup for Thursday August 2nd, 2007:

When it's as hot as it is out there this week, don't leave your poor children in the car! They could suffer from brain damage or even die, since the heat inside the car can reach deadly levels.

Grade 8 girls will soon be given the opportunity to take part in a province-run immunization program that targets Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which is responsible for cervical cancer (the second most common form of cancer in women).

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission will soon introduce new rules that prohibit its employees from playing. They also plan to hire full-time retail inspectors to keep an eye on potential cheaters.
