B.C.-based Gladiator Metals is drilling on the Whitehorse copper beltA B.C-based mining company is drilling on the Whitehorse copper belt, and that’s raising concerns from people in nearby neighbourhoods. Drilling in the area this spring has mostly centred on the former Whitehorse Copper mine, according to Kell Nielsen, the company’s vice-president of exploration. Drill trails were established there as part of mining operations in the 1970s and ’80s, but residents of neighbouring subdivisions say they now use those trails for recreation. Residents concerned“It’s a horrific mess,” said Glenys Baltimore, who lives in the Cowley Creek subdivision, near the work site. Still, he was unhappy to find a company drilling so near to where he lives without public consultation.

And it’s a place that Puddister says finding the right dress for the bride-to-be is the “best part of her job and the reason I keep going with it”She says, “It is so heartwarming to help people find that dress that is going to make their day special. That would mean there could be issues in getting the dress they wanted. “It’s a business that gives people more modern options to buy their wedding dresses. I think it was just the fact that I was in that store in Toronto that led me to open my own wedding dress store. I’ve always loved the way wedding dresses look and the designs and fabrics that are used.

Minister Reviewing CBC’s Mandate with Eye to Making It Less Reliant on AdvertisingBy Mickey Djuric, The Canadian PressOTTAWA — Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez said Monday he is starting to review the mandate for CBC and its French-language service Radio-Canada, including ways the government can bolster funding to the public broadcaster so it is less reliant on advertising dollars. His mandate letter from the prime minister said the goal in providing more money to the CBC and Radio-Canada is to eliminate advertising during news and other public affairs shows. The bill would require tech giants to pay Canadian media companies for linking to or otherwise repurposing their content online. NDP MP Peter Julian suggested this could help divert some online advertising money now spent on the CBC and Radio-Canada to smaller media outlets. The New Democrats want to see a new CBC mandate “as quickly as possible” because they believe it’s been under attack, including by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

An interface fire crashed into suburban Halifax on Sunday, destroying or damaging dozens of homes in the west of the city. The Nova Scotia blaze follows early season wildfires that have forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate from their homes in Alberta. Sandy Erni, a research scientist with the Canadian Forest Service focusing on fire risk, said interface fires can involve either residential neighbourhoods or industrial infrastructure. Erni is the co-author of a 2021 study that used greenhouse-gas emissions scenarios established by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to model potential increases in wildland-human interface fires by the end of this century. Erni said the Canadian government has undertaken a national wildfire risk assessment, with mapping set to be publicly released next year.

HALIFAX - The Halifax Regional Municipality says preliminary estimates indicate approximately 200 homes or structures have been damaged by a wildfire that’s been burning in suburban Halifax. The municipality released the estimate in a statement last night, saying it was based on initial visual inspections by first responders and that a full assessment of the damage couldn’t yet be confirmed. “Residents are not allowed to return to their homes until they are advised that it is safe to do so by municipal authorities. It said the municipality is developing a plan to support affected residents, but it anticipated the process would take several days, or maybe longer, as fires remain active. Outside the Halifax region, there were seven other wildfires still burning, including the 62-square-kilometre Barrington Lake fire in Shelburne County.

Staffing shortages led hospitals to close their emergency departments for hours or even days at a time during the summer of 2022. But the closures did not stop at the end of the summer vacation period. South Bruce Grey Health Centre had overnight ER closures at all of its four sites through the fall, and had to fully close its Chesley ER for two months. In Minden, Ont., the hospital has decided to permanently close the local ER as of June 1, due to staff shortages. That has left the eastern Ontario hospital with a stable staffing situation, but at a net cost of $2.8 million just last year, said president and CEO Michael Cohen.

Toronto City Council passed a motion opposing any new natural-gas generation in the city only days before last week’s provincial announcement. (In addition to the Port Lands, two other GTA gas plants — in Brampton and Halton Hills — will also see capacity upgrades.) Projections by IESO show an increased reliance on gas plants in the coming years, as nuclear plants are taken out of service for refurbishment or retirement. This year, gas plants are expected to operate 24 per cent of the time. “There’s a deepening commitment to ramping up natural gas generation, taking us in the wrong direction,” he said.

The World Meteorological Organization will put cryosphere changes amongst its top priorities give climate change’s rapid effects on the region, the UN body said on Monday. The resolution, endorsed by the World Meteorological Congress, the WMO’s decision making body, calls for more data exchange and increased funding along with coordinated observations, predictions and services. The cryosphere refers to the regions of the world covered with frozen water, including everything from polar regions to high mountain areas. Cryosphere changes logged in 2022 Greenland Ice Sheet : negative total mass balance for the 26th year in a row. “The irreversible changes in the global cryosphere will therefore affect adaptation strategies and access to water resources.
