Blind moose rescued east of Ottawa passes away suddenly
Cedar the Moose appears to be blind and has an injured leg. He is being cared for at the Holly's Haven Wildlife Rescue in Dunrobin. (Natalie van Rooy/CTV News Ottawa) A blind baby moose found on a rural road in eastern Ontario earlier this summer died suddenly on Thursday, according to an animal rescue group. The moose, named Cedar, was discovered wandering along a busy road in St. Isidore, Ont. in early July. Officials said Cedar was limping due to a leg injury and was blind. ADVERTISEMENT The animal was brought to Holly's Haven Wildlife Rescue in Dunrobin for care and was going to be transferred to the Toronto Zoo. In a post on social media on Thursday, Holly's Haven Wildlife Rescue said Cedar 'passed away both suddenly and unexpectedly.' The wildlife rescue said the cause of death is unknown, adding, 'just an hour and a half prior, Cedar appeared healthy. Then he was gone.' 'Despite receiving immediate and ongoing veterinary care, Cedar left this world far too soon,' the rescue said. 'We gave him thorough examinations by multiple veterinarians, long-lasting antibiotics, pain medication, X-rays, and consultations with an orthopedic specialist and an ophthalmologist. Our team provided round-the-clock care for him. In the weeks and days leading up to his passing, he was thriving. He showed no signs of stress and no indication of an underlying problem. 'His sudden loss has left our entire team, and the veterinary professionals who cared for him, shocked and heartbroken.'

The moose was continuing to live at Holly's Haven until cleared by vets to travel and all the required paperwork was completed. 'Cedar's life was not in vain. In his short time with us, he became a beacon of what's possible when kind people come together to do what's right,' Holly's Haven said. 'He reminded us all of why wildlife rescue matters. Thanks to your support, Cedar's last weeks were filled with safety, nourishment, love, and peace. He was protected from predators, from traffic, and from the fences he couldn't see. He was not alone. He was loved.' Cedar the moose Cedar the moose in the back of a vehicle after being found on the side of the road near St. Isidore, Ont.

Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation hosts ceremony for youth in childcare as part of Cheekuk Days
WATCH: Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation hosted a homecoming ceremony for a group of youth who had been taken into the child welfare system. Mick Favel reports. A special ceremony for youth currently in the childcare system was held on Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation as part of Cheekuk Days. The community invited outside members to the weeklong celebration, including four youth who travelled from British Colombia. Melissa Tavita is the Chief of Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation. She said leadership has been working to get all of their youth in care acquainted with the nation and their culture. 'This is where you are from. You can always learn your history, culture, who your people are,' she explained. Barbara Feiss has raised her son since he was six weeks old. She said her family has tried to get him connected with the nation, eventually starting correspondence. Muscowpetung has since helped pay for the son's sports fees. The trip to Saskatchewan has been an emotional experience for the family. 'I love it because he is now starting to meet family and making friends. You can't put a price on that,' Feiss said. The Bringing Our Children Home ceremony coincided with Cheekuk Days, a time to honour Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation being a part of Treaty 4 for 150 years. A new event arbor has been built where the nation is hosting its first annual powwow celebration. In the years to come, leadership plans to continue bring more youth in care out to the nation. 'This year is only the start. We are hoping to make sure everyone that belongs to Muscowpetung … That they know this is where home is,' Tavita said. Cheekuk Days concludes on Saturday. There are a number of special guests planned to visit the community.
