There was an interfaith service in Bedford yesterday to mark the end of Ramadan.
Bedford United Church and the Al-Rasoul Islamic Society Mosque are only a few blocks apart, but the event marked the first time they held a formal celebration together.
Imam Mohammed Al-Qazwin told CBC it was an historic day for him with the service full of warmth and compassion. Reverand David Hart said it was about breaking down barriers and dispelling stereotypes.
Six North Atlantic Right Whales have been found dead in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The Marine Animal Response Society fears the rising toll could be catastrophically critical for the endangered species. The deaths represent about 1% of the total Right Whale population still believed to be in the area.
The society joined an expedition of scientists to examine one of the dead whales at sea to collect biological samples in hopes of determining the cause of death.
