Sign at Ontario's popular Sauble Beach changed to reflect First Nation land ownership
A landmark sign at a popular Ontario beach was changed just before Canada Day to reflect a First Nation's ownership of the land. The red sign on the shore of Lake Huron in South Bruce Peninsula that previously read 'Welcome to Sauble Beach' now reads 'Welcome to Saugeen Beach.' Saugeen First Nation band councillor Sonya Roote says the name change was a 'long time coming,' and follows a 2023 court ruling that a two-kilometre stretch of Sauble Beach belongs to the community. The court found that the stretch of land had been improperly surveyed 170 years ago and returned its ownership to Saugeen First Nation. Roote says the new sign at the popular tourist destination is temporary and community consultations will take place for a more permanent sign in the future. South Bruce Peninsula Mayor Jay Kirkland says the town wasn't notified of the sign change and is disappointed about the decision. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 2, 2025.

Quebec dairy farmer chasing down runaway herd with help of drones, neighbours

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh A Quebec dairy farmer is relying on drones and the help of family and friends to try to track down a herd of Holstein cattle that escaped their enclosure over the weekend. François Morissette says 24 young animals ran through a fence Saturday night after getting spooked by fireworks. Since then, they've dispersed into small groups and travelled several kilometres around Saint-Gabriel-de-Rimouski, about 300 kilometres northeast of Quebec City. Morrissette says he's been able to round up 15 of the skittish animals but nine remain missing. He says he's getting help from family and neighbours, including a person who has used a drone to help find them. He says he's not giving up on recapturing the rest of the herd, even though they've run into the woods where they're much harder to track. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 1, 2025.
