Another dead whale has been spotted off the coast of PEI. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans says a dead Fin whale was found during aerial patrols. The fin whale follows six dead endangered right whales that were discovered in the Gulf of St. Lawrence off Northern New Brunswick and Western PEI over the past month. Researchers have now conducted necropsies on three of the dead right whales but have not released their findings.Tissue samples were also collected for further analysis.

Gas Smell Forces Evacuation of UNB Dining Hall
The smell of natural gas forced the evacuation of a dining hall at the University of New Brunswick this weekend. Fire crews were called to the university campus in Fredericton after receiving a call about a gas-like odour. A platoon captain with the Fredericton Fire Department says gas detectors didn’t pick up any substantial readings. Mike Mizner says the source of the scent is still under investigation, but it may be a problem with the kitchen’s deep fryers.
