Stranded whale rescue plan in northern NB

Animal rescuers are hoping to capture an endangered beluga whale that has been making its home in the Nepisquit River for several weeks.

The Marine Animal Response Society is hoping to relocate it to the St. Lawrence near Cacouna, Quebec.

The juvenile Beluga will be tagged before it’s released so scientists can track its travels.

Cormorant problem being fixed

It’ll take six months to fix the problem that grounded the military’s fleet of new Cormorant helicopters in March…but they are slowly getting back into the air.

Colonel Peter Allan, wing commander at Shearwater, says a software problem caused a severe bump during a training flight. There was a sudden drop in altitude before the pilot landed safely. They traced the bump to a software issue  which caused a sudden restart of the system.
