The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it plans to modernize seafood labelling. The agency says it recently published proposals for labels to include the country of origin for imported whole fish and the fishes’ common names. It says it also plans to explore ways the industry can ensure truthful claims are made on labels. A report released Friday by a coalition of environmental groups says existing rules leave Canadian consumers with less information than those in Europe or the United States.

Fire in New Germany
The Red Cross is providing assistance to a Family of Six who temporarily lost their home in New Germany to a fire earlier this week. The fire was confined to the kitchen but the house suffered extensive smoke and water damage. A four-year-old boy suffered minor burns to his hand and arm in the fire and was taken to the IWK for treatment – he has since been released.
