Search group warns against fake fundraiser exploiting two children missing in N.S.
Halifax Search and Rescue is warning against fraudsters impersonating their group who claim they'll use donated cash to search for two missing children. Paul Service, director of the volunteer organization, says a GoFundMe campaign attempted to raise $100,000 to fund a drone to search for four-year-old Jack Sullivan and six-year-old Lilly Sullivan. A large-scale search was launched for the two children after they disappeared on May 2 in Lansdowne Station, N.S., and there have been two, smaller efforts since then involving volunteer searchers. 1:56 Missing N.S. children: RCMP narrow down timeline of disappearance The non-profit group says it doesn't normally request donations through GoFundMe and doesn't base its campaigns on particular searches.

Air quality watches, statements issued for a large portion of Ontario
With wildfire smoke looming over Ontario, Environment Canada has issued air quality watches and statements for a large portion of the province. The statements run from Sarnia and London north into Fort Albany and include Moosonee, Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie, and vary depending on location. London and Sarnia are expected to be dealing with wildfire smoke throughout Thursday. Conditions are expected to improve overnight but could continue into Friday, according to Environment Canada. Farther north, the conditions are expected to last for several days, with the agency warning that 'as smoke levels increase, health risks increase.' The watches, which are considered more serious, extend from Attawapiskat west into Saskatchewan as well as from Kirkland Lake north into the northeastern portion of Quebec.

'You may experience mild and common symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches or a mild cough. More serious but less common symptoms include wheezing, chest pains or severe cough,' the federal agency said, before warning people to seek medical treatment in cases of emergency. Some of the smoke is coming from wildfires burning in northern Ontario, Global News chief meteorologist Anthony Farnell said Tuesday as hazy skies were present over much of southern Ontario. He said the rain the southern portion of the province was seeing Wednesday night and Thursday would clear the air. Story continues below advertisement 'The air will temporarily clear out with rain Wednesday night into Thursday, but smoke will likely be back by the weekend. Smoke will be a frequent occurrence depending on which way the winds blow until a soaking rain falls out west, and that's still at least several days away,' Farnell said.

Some Seasonale birth control pills recalled due to extra placebos
Two lots of Seasonale birth control medication are being recalled by the manufacturer after it received a complaint that they contained extra placebo pills. Teva Canada Ltd. said it received a complaint that a package contained an extra row of placebos when there should only be one row of white pills. 'Taking placebo pills instead of active (pink) pills may reduce the effectiveness of the product and could lead to an unintended pregnancy,' the recall notice posted by Health Canada says. Seasonale pills come packaged in a dispenser that contains a 13-week, or 91-day, supply divided into three blister cards, each on its own tray. The first two trays each hold 28 active pills, while the third tray has 35 pills — 28 pink pills and seven white placebo pills. Story continues below advertisement The two lots in question, however, have an extra row of white placebo pills on the second tray. A package of Seasonale birth control pills is pictured with an extra row of placebo pills. This issue prompted a recall by Health Canada. Health Canada The lot numbers being recalled are 100059661 with an expiry date of Jan. 31, 2026, and 100069150 with a Sept. 30, 2026 expiry.

Instructions that come with the product say that taking the pills in the proper order is important to prevent pregnancy, and taking a placebo out of order could lead to unplanned pregnancy, as well as other side effects, including spotting and irregular bleeding. Those using the pills are also advised to check the package and if it contains any placebos in the first two trays to not take them and return them to the pharmacy for a replacement or alternative product. Story continues below advertisement 'If you cannot get to a pharmacy right away, take the next active (pink) pill in the proper order as noted in the instructions until you are able to contact your pharmacist and obtain a replacement or alternative product,' the Health Canada notice says. Anyone who took a placebo instead of active pill from tray one or two, or if you're unsure, should use another method of non-hormonal backup contraception, such as condoms, and consult your health-care professional.
