AVC Wildlife Service temporarily closes intake of wild birds
Recently, a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) of subtype H5N1 has been confirmed in Atlantic Canada. Although this virus typically causes little or no harm to wild birds and waterfowl, it can result in severe illness in some bird species, domestic poultry, and, under certain circumstances, people.
This is an evolving situation that is being closely monitored by provincial and federal agencies. As a result, the Canadian Wildlife Service has issued new guidelines regarding the rehabilitation of wild birds in Canada.

Panthers recruit Cedrick Andree hoping to form dynamic goaltending tandem
UPEI Men's Hockey head coach Forbes MacPherson believes that goaltending is the most important position in hockey, often highlighting the play of his netminder in post-game interviews following wins. And it’s why he decided to add another talented goaltender to his roster for the playoff push.
Newcomer Cedrick Andree joins the Panthers after playing professionally with the American Hockey League’s Belleville Senators in 2020–21, followed by a stint with the East Coast Hockey League’s South Carolina Stingrays this season.
