An unwanted visitor forced a kids event to change plans, and a popular attraction to close, in Saint Andrews, NB on Saturday. The Telegraph Journal reports that a 600 pound moose jumped the fence at Kingsbrea Garden early Saturday morning. The large moose was eventually tranquilized and removed by the Department of Energy and Resource Development – but not until 3pm – forcing the popular garden attraction to remain closed to visitors for much of the day. The Children’s Splash and Dash race, part of the Revolution 3 triathlon event taking place in Saint Andrew’s this weekend, was also forced to move it’s finish line due to the threat of the moose.

NS-PEI Ferry Pulled From Service for Repairs
Technical problems have forced the MV Confederation Ferry to be pulled from service between Nova Scotia and PEI today. In a release Northumberland Ferries Ltd says they’re experiencing an issue with the ferry’s propulsion system controls. It’s not clear how long the repairs will take. The removal of the Confederation from service will mean reduced crossing and potential delays. The remaining ferry servicing the route, the MV Holiday, will now be making five crossings each way per day.
