Canada wins five more medals, with at least one more on the way.

Four Canadian Paralympians have earned more medals at the Beijing Paralympics. 

Mollie Jepsen took home the silver in the women's standing giant slalom after wining a gold medal last week in the women's standing downhill race. 

Mark Arendz also won silver in the men's standing 12.5 kilometre biathlon.

It's his third podium appearance at the Games, after snagging gold in the standing 10 kilometre event and bronze in the 6 km. 

Canada also snagged a pair of bronze medals.

After winning the country's first ever Para snowboarding gold, Tyler Turner won bronze in the men's banked slalom. 

Brittany Hudak claimed her second bronze of the Games in the women's 12.5 km standing biathlon. 

She previously won in the 15 km cross-country event. 

Canada's wheelchair curling team also took home their second consecutive Paralympic bronze.

They defeated Slovakia by a score of 8 to 3 earlier this morning. 

As well, our men's Para-ice hockey team has advanced to the gold medal match, after defeating South Korea earlier today by a score of 11-0 in the semifinals. 

They'll take on the United States on Saturday night at 10:50 p.m.
