A limited partnership between the Nunatsiavut Government and Natural Forces is proposing to develop a wind power micro-grid about 2 km west of the town’s center.

The project will include one or two wind turbines to generate approximately 1.78 to 2.3 MW of power.

The department of environment says the conditions of release have been met including requirements for a Women’s Employment Plan, an Environmental Management and Protection Plan and an Environmental Effects Monitoring Plan.

The Privacy Commissioner’s Office says while access to information rights have been weakened in some jurisdictions, the legislation in this province remains “one of the strongest in the country.”

Earlier this year, government began a statutory review of ATIPP legislation.

Privacy Commissioner Kerry Hatfield says this province has become a “leader” in access to information because citizens have demanded transparency in. and accountability from, public bodies.

She is encouraging people to “make their voices heard” in the review.

That’s according to a new report by Food Processing Skills Canada which says that labour shortages are going to hit the local food processing sector harder than any other province.

Kevin Elder, who is with the organization, says government has significant work to do in order to recruit the necessary number of workers by 2035.

“The hiring challenge (in Newfoundland and Labrador) is massive; you’re almost hiring everyone that’s currently working in the sector again in another nine years, which is a huge ask for the industry.”

“Newfoundland and Labrador had the highest percentage of its food and beverage manufacturing workforce that’s over 55, which was 41 per cent, and no other province is above 33 per cent. NL also had the fewest people under 25 working in the sector at only 9.5 per cent. No other province was in single digits.”

RCMP say in addition to being unsafe, it can also earn you a ticket under the Highway Traffic Act.

The St. John’s-based company, which has established an office in Paris,

The Gravenchon facility has the capacity to process 230,000 barrels per day of crude oil and other feedstocks. The facility employs some 2,000 people.

North Atlantic’s Ted Lomond says he had a chance to meet with government and industry leaders in France, and discuss energy opportunities.

Lomond says they’re pleased with operations in Europe to date.

He says the French government is very easy to deal with. “The acquisition has….been successful. We’re happy with our move into France.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney recently met with French President Emmanuel Macron in Saint Pierre et Miquelon just off the coast of the Burin Peninsula as Canada makes moves to build greater trade relationships with Europe.

Lomond says North Atlantic has had a long relationship with France going back many years. He commends the Prime Minister’s efforts in fostering greater collaboration.

“I think these things are very positive,” says Lomond.

RNC in Corner Brook were called about a disturbance at a business in the city last Thursday night.

Police say the suspect fled the scene on an e-bike. When officers tried to pull the machine over, it sped away.

RNC later located the driver on a dead-end street off Valley Road and the man was arrested after a brief struggle.

Michael Greene of Halfway Point is charged with impaired driving, refusal, flight from police, assaulting a police officer, uttering threats and resisting arrest.

He was held in custody pending a court appearance.

Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, head of National Counter-Terrorism Policing in the U.K. provided the update in London today.

Taylor says the men were travelling in three vehicles which have been examined with the help of military officials and forensic experts.

Taylor says the five suspects have been released on bail, and are subject to “stringent conditions” on their movements and contact with others.

“They absolutely remain under investigation, as we explore multiple lines of inquiry.”

Taylor says they’re investigating the incident “with every possible angle” given current geo-political events.

“Including that this may be actively committed by proxies, or individuals either knowingly, or unknowingly, working on behalf of a foreign state.”

Gloucestershire police received a call early Sunday morning about three vehicles travelling towards the air base and five men were arrested on suspicion of committing offences under the Explosives Act. There were later arrested on suspicion of preparation of a terrorist act.

Twenty-eight-year-old Michael Torraville is wanted on charges including assaulting a police officer, dangerous driving, flight from police, and possession of stolen property.

Anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP at 1-800-709-7267.

Jesse Cave told VOCM Open Line with Brian Callahan that he had rented the house to a friend, but the situation soon degenerated, leaving him with little to no recourse.

He claims he had sought help from the RNC and the town of CBS after handing out notices of eviction that were ignored.

He claims he had nothing to do with the trap house. “I rented the house out to the tenants, who were good friends of mine. I rented it out, and it all spiraled out of control. Me, as a landlord, I had no say in anything.”

He claims we was even assaulted on the property and the RNC asked him to leave. “I gave numerous evictions to the tenants, to no avail, and now on the weekend, my house is burned down.”

Now, Cave says his name is being dragged through the mud on social media.

Cave admits there was no electricity running to the home in question. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Two people were arrested in connection with a shooting at Harbour View Apartments on Brazil Street in May of 2025, and a fire occurred at the building in 2023.

Police have been called to the Brazil Street area numerous times in recent months.

The city says the complaint is being investigated and has “potential to become a legal matter.”

Because of that, the city cannot provide further comment.
