Salmon anglers in New Brunswick are dealing with a third year in a row of catch-and-release restrictions.
Last year, the number of salmon returning to their native rivers after fattening up at sea was just over 533 thousand, a drop of 27 per cent from 2015.
Salmon are still being taken by indigenous groups that are permitted a small harvest each year at Eel Ground and Red Bank, along with Quebec’s Listuguj First Nation.
P.E.I. Nova Scotia; and New Brunswick are changing the way they issue driver’s licenses to upgrade security and increase uniformity.
Right now, provincial service centres print licenses on-site and drivers walk out with their new card in hand.
Under the new central-issuance system, people will have to wait seven to 10 days to receive their new ID’s in the mail.
The four provinces entered into a contract worth $11.5 million with Gemalto to produce licenses at a Burlington, Ont. plant.
