Boil water order issued for Moncton neighbourhood
A boil water advisory is in effect for part of Moncton. An undated photo of a running water faucet. (File photo/CTV News) A boil water order has been issued for a neighbourhood in Moncton. Those living in Elmwood Drive, north of the Trans-Canada highway. This includes residents and businesses along Granite Drive, Royal Oaks Subdivision, and civic addresses including and above 759 Elmwood Drive are being told to boil their water for at least one minute before consuming. According to a news release from the City of Moncton, the order was issued as a result of high water flows from ongoing fire suppression efforts in the area that has resulted in high turbidity levels. 'Contaminated water may cause illness in humans, including diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms,' states the release. The city notes residents may experience discoloured water or air in their plumbing systems and residents who completely lose water pressure should turn off the circuit breaker for their hot water heaters to prevent damage to the heating elements. The city says they are evaluating all available information and is currently working with the Department of Health. The release states testing will continue over the next 72 hours and an advisory will be issued when the boil water advisory is rescinded.

Cyclists hit the streets of Halifax to raise funds and awareness for Parkinson's
Dozens of cyclists took to the streets of Halifax for the Spinning Wheels Tour. (Hafsa Arif/CTV News) Dozens of cyclists took to the streets of Halifax and Dartmouth on Sunday for the Spinning Wheels Tour, a ride dedicated to raising money and awareness for Parkinson Canada. For Mike Loghrin, the event is deeply personal. He's been living with Parkinson's disease for 12 years and has been part of the tour since it began. 'Four years ago we started out and they wanted to ride across the country for Parkinson's, and I thought that was a very silly of them,' Loghrin recalled with a laugh. 'I went home and told her, and she said, 'I'd love to do that,' so she brought the RV and followed us.' This year, Loghrin has already logged nearly 300 kilometers riding from Gander to St. John's as part of the cross-country effort. He says cycling is one way to stay active and keep the symptoms at bay. 'We're trying to spread the word about community and exercise for people with Parkinson's,' he said. Loghrin's family is also involved. His nephew, Max, has been riding alongside him for years. 'My dad and uncle have Parkinson's,' Max said. 'Going on rides with them is a great way to stay active and help reduce some of their symptoms.' Susan Fullerton, who also lives with Parkinson's, joined the Halifax ride surrounded by friends - some on bikes, others cheering from the sidelines with a banner.

(Hafsa Arif/CTV News) Fullerton, who is also the organizer of the event in Halifax, says the tour is about more than fundraising. 'If we've touched one person's life with Parkinson's and told them, 'You're not alone, and by the way, try biking or some other exercise,' that's pretty incredible,' she said. 'Exercising in the community is important.' From the Halifax waterfront to the winding streets of Dartmouth, riders covered close to 50 kilometers. For many, it wasn't about the distance, it was about showing that Parkinson's doesn't stop determination.

Almonte Hospital prepares to implement paid parking to support hospital funding
Paid parking meters have been put in place at the Almonte General Hospital. (Kimberley Johnson/CTV News Ottawa) The metres are in place as the Almonte General Hospital prepares to implement paid parking for its visitors later this month. This move is intended to bring the Almonte General Hospital into alignment with the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital, which has charged for parking for several years. The Mississippi River Health Alliance says parking will cost $5 a day for 24 hours. Frequent visitors will have the chance to buy weekly, monthly and annual passes. Almonte resident Ron Ayling says it's a move he supports. 'It's one way to raise money for the hospital,' he says. 'It's needed' Ayling says he hopes costs will remain low for frequent visitors. 'My only concern is there are people who have to come more frequently, so perhaps $5 a day is too much,' he said. In a news release, Brad Harrington, the Alliance's president and CEO, says that the move is based on careful consideration and that revenues will stay within the hospital to deliver high-quality services and care. 'We understand that parking changes can be inconvenient, but this decision is rooted in our responsibility to maintain safe, high-quality care across all our sites,' said Harrington. 'This change helps protect the future of local health care and ensures that patient care remains our top priority. We're committed to making this transition as smooth and transparent as possible.' There will be exceptions for those living in the nearby Fairview Manor. Glen McDougall says he will get one to visit his family member living inside, but says the change makes sense. 'Just part of life I guess,' he said. The fees are set to be implemented later this month, but no official start date has been announced. Lise Gibeau, an Almonte resident, says she understands the change because the money will go back into the hospital. 'I think we've been lucky so far,' she said. 'It's not too bad, the five dollars, every time you go in.'
