South Bruce narrowly votes to host underground nuclear waste disposal site
Six different bore holes produced approximately 5 km of core samples while exploring a Deep Geologic Repository (DGR) near the Bruce Power nuclear plant The DGR is being proposed to store nuclear waste deep underground. Core samples dug in and around the site beside Lake Huron show the rock formation to be extremely stable with no signs of movement for millions of years.

Canadian species protection laws inconsistent and inadequate, review finds
A Bank Swallow flies overhead of a regular nesting area, right across the road from the racetrack developer's land, for a several hundred bird colony that returns each summer to the hamlet of Rosebud, an hour outside of Calgary on Thursday, May 9, 2024. Several landowners in and around Rosebud have spent years trying to stop the development of a racetrack on neighbouring land, with one of the main reasons being the conservation of the Bank Swallow - an endangered bird species whose population has dropped 98% in Canada in the last 50 years, who are still able to thrive each year within the wetlands of Rosebud, with a large colony setting up each year right where the racetrack is set to be developed.
