No. 18 Burlington girls' lacrosse erases a three-goal deficit in Division 2 victory over No. 15 Marshfield
'We did not stop, at all,' said Burlington senior CJ Tremblay. 'Even when we were down, we just kept fighting. We had a great fourth quarter. Everyone was putting their body on the line. That's all you can ask for in a game like this, especially with such a young team.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Tremblay, junior Ava Robitaille, and sophomore Emma Steiner paced Burlington with three goals apiece. Junior Mairin Condon made 12 saves, including a critical one with 22 seconds left, and fearless freshman Georgia Bilodeau battled on the draw with Marshfield junior Julia O'Brien all night. Advertisement Clara McGrath converts for Marshfield to trim Burlington's lead to 14-13 with 3:10 left — Trevor Hass (@TrevorHass) Junior Clara McGrath fueled the 15th-seeded Rams (12-7) with five goals, and senior Noelle Finucane tallied four. Marshfield, hosting its first non-preliminary-round tournament game in program history, displayed plenty of fight as well in a physical, well-played battle. 'Burlington is such a talented program,' said Marshfield coach Sabrina Santaniello. 'We were matched up pretty well for this. It just came down to literally the last 10 seconds. I'm proud of my team this entire season. What a ride. I'm proud of my seniors. I couldn't have asked for a better team this season.' Advertisement Marshfield led, 3-2, through 1, 8-6 at halftime, and 11-8 late in the third, behind a steady diet of Finucane and McGrath and well-timed cuts. Gabby Colozzi made it 11-9 through 3, then Robitaille notched three timely goals in the first six minutes of the fourth to vault the Red Devils in front, 14-12. McGrath added one more with 3:10 left before Condon and her teammates secured one final stop. Girls lacrosse final: Burlington 14, Marshfield 13 18th-seeded Red Devils storm back and outlast the 15th-seeded Rams in a thriller. Huge save from Mairin Condon late. A truly outstanding game — Trevor Hass (@TrevorHass) The Red Devils ran out the clock, with Steiner hoisting her stick in the air, letting out a scream, and joining her teammates for the celebration near the Burlington net. 'I told them to just keep playing our game,' said Burlington first-year coach Maddy Skiff. 'Be patient, do what we do best, work together. We did that, and we came out on top.' Burlington's Emma Steiner (No. 9) exults in her team's 14-13 victory over host Marshfield in a Division 2 girls' lacrosse matchup. Barry Chin/Globe Staff Burlington learned from close regular-season losses to Lexington, Bedford, North Andover, and Ipswich. The setbacks yielded a deceiving record, as this was not a typical No. 18 seed. Tremblay, whom Skiff described as 'one tough cookie,' said it was her favorite lacrosse game ever. 'Honestly, my mind went blank,' Tremblay said. 'It's just such an amazing feeling. As a senior, I don't have many games left, so I'm taking it all in, but it's the best one I could ask for.'

Quebec anti-suicide group loses legal challenge against municipality over ticketing
A Quebec religious group has lost a constitutional challenge after getting fined for going door-to-door in the town of Waterloo, 15 kilometres southeast of Granby, to share its message about suicide prevention. The municipality fined Groupe Jaspe several hundred dollars for violating a bylaw requiring non-profit groups to obtain a permit for 'selling, collecting or soliciting.' The group argued in a municipal court that the bylaw infringes on its freedom of religion and expression as enshrined in Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Claude Tremblay, founder of the Magog-based group, lost his son to suicide. He says it is his religious duty to go door-to-door to prevent others from taking their own lives. Tremblay has not said whether he plans to appeal the ruling.

The best radio at the moment is on the BBC World Service
Online viewings of Conclave increased threefold following the death of Pope Francis last month. At least some of the traffic was rumoured to have come from the Vatican itself. This raises many questions, but the most pertinent for me this week is, what did the cardinals think of the carpets? Do they really have coffee machines in their rooms like Tremblay? Minibars like Bellini? Their peace spoiled by the sounds of a lift shaft as in the case of long-suffering Lawrence? If any of these details passed you by, it's worth watching the film again. In fact, after listening to an interview with the production designer, to be broadcast on BBC World Service next week, you will feel positively compelled to do so. Suzie Davies, who also designed the sets for Mr Turner and Saltburn, clearly had fun. The idea behind giving Tremblay (John Lithgow) an espresso machine was apparently to rouse suspicions, ever so subtly, as to how he obtained such a luxury; he also has a larger room than the other cardinals. Bellini has a minibar because, well, he's played by Stanley Tucci. And Lawrence is just so forbearing. With 130 job cuts looming over the World Service – in spite of an unlikely injection of cash from the autumn budget – it's a good time to sing the praises of its documentary department. The World Service is not always the obvious channel to flip to for gripping factual content, but its current listings are actually more enticing than those for Radio 4. Forthcoming programmes that caught my eye this week include Print and Shoot: The Rise of 3D-Printed Guns, How Does Heat Affect Our Health?, The Future of the Alawites and of course Designing Conclave.

Grand chief critcizes lack of consultation on Saint John industrial park expansion
Wolastoqey Grand Chief Ron Tremblay said the lack of consultation on plans to expand an industrial park in Saint John continues a track record of Indigenous input being an afterthought. "The Peace and Friendship Treaty back in 1725 clearly stated that we never surrendered any land or resources to the Crown or the Crown dependents," Tremblay said to Information Morning Saint John. "And under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples that we needed free, prior and informed consent on all the matters that go forward, be it the province or municipalities or the federal government." This week, Tremblay added to the hundreds of letters the City of Saint John has received urging council to turn down the expansion proposal. Tremblay said First Nations were never consulted and if the expansion moves forward, it will impact an area of "enriched wetland" and "disturb a biological system that is vital to every species that is reliant on" the ecosystem. In their pitch to council members when the public hearing process began, city staff said First Nation consultation falls under provincial jurisdiction. When contacted by CBC News, City of Saint John staff directed questions about First Nation engagement to the provincial Department of Indigenous Affairs. The province was not able to respond before deadline. The public hearing for the plan to create more development-ready land in the industrial park began May 12. Since then, more than 50 people have spoken out against the proposal, saying the planned expansion will have impacts on the environment and the nearby community that will last generations. "Our mandate as the traditional governance is to protect our homeland, the waterways and the air for our children, our grandchildren and the next seven generations," Tremblay said. WATCH | 'We should have been at the table,' Wolastoqey grand chief says: "So when land gets threatened like this, we are very firm on our position that we have to look at all the ecosystems." Tremblay said First Nation input often comes far too late in the game. "Unfortunately a lot of times it happens after the fact," he said. "Especially with the Grand Council, we're usually alerted well into any discussions, where we're invited at the table after the aftermath of whatever's been discussed or decided already. So that's not proper consultation." Protests growing past city limits The city and supporters of the plan say the expansion is needed because of what presenters described as an uncertain economic future for the province, including low projected growth in GDP in the coming year and Saint John's potential for tariff exposure. City staff say the area is ideal because of its access to water, electricity and other resources not available elsewhere in the city. While the fate of the industrial park expansion is still in limbo, the opposition to it has extended past the boundaries of the rural community and even the city. City staff have received letters and input from people living in other cities and provinces, including those from Fredericton and Halifax. Lorneville residents say they've also taken their fight to the provincial legislature in hopes of speaking with the premier. MP John Williamson, whose riding includes Lorneville, also wrote in opposition and attended a protest against the plan on the weekend before the public hearing started. The city also recently received a letter from the Conservation Council of New Brunswick asking council to delay the expansion until environmental impacts are better understood. The plan does have supporters. The city has received statements and letters of support from business groups such as Envision Saint John and Opportunities New Brunswick. Council needs to hear from individuals and groups — for and against — before they vote on the proposal. But so far, due to sheer numbers, only those opposed have been able to speak during the previous two meetings — both lasting late into the evening. The public hearing on the application will continue on June 3.

Nova Scotia RCMP were searching for vehicle before deadly weekend crash
HANTSPORT — Nova Scotia RCMP were searching for a possible impaired driver in a vehicle that was involved hours later in a highway collision that killed five people over the weekend, police confirmed Monday. RCMP Cpl. Guillaume Tremblay said in an interview that the vehicle was the same blue Honda Civic that crashed Saturday night on Highway 101 near Falmouth, N.S. Tremblay said an extensive search for the car, that involved a number of officers in Kings and West Hants counties, was unsuccessful. 'We are looking for information from the public to establish the whereabouts of the vehicle between the time of the collision and the time of the possible impaired driver report and prior to that as well,' he said. Tremblay said police received a call about a possible impaired driver around 7:20 p.m., and the crash occurred around 11:12 p.m. The vehicle was last seen at a restaurant on Highway 1 near the 11600 block in Grand Pre, N.S. 'It's the same vehicle that was involved in the report at 7:20 p.m,' Tremblay confirmed. Investigators said in a news release Monday that physical evidence gathered at the scene of the crash indicates the Civic was travelling in the opposite direction of traffic in the eastbound lanes when it collided with a Nissan Sentra about 1.5 kms from Exit 7. Tremblay said the highway is twinned in that area although the distance between the lanes is narrow with a fence. 'The vehicle (Civic) was travelling westbound, but to my knowledge at this time we don't have information to indicate that they actually crossed the median,' he said. The driver and passenger of the Civic, a 43-year-old man and 45-year-old woman from Falmouth, were both pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the driver of the Sentra, a 45-year-old woman from Oxford, N.S., and a 58-year-old male passenger from Nappan, N.S., were also declared dead at the crash site. Two other passengers in the Nissan, a 50-year-old man and 29-year-old man, were taken to hospital. The 50-year-old from Oxford was later pronounced dead. The 29-year-old man, who is from British Columbia, was listed in critical condition. Tremblay had no update on the man's condition on Monday. He said the province's medical examiner is involved in the investigation, but cautioned that it could be some time before any toxicology reports will be available to police. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 12, 2025. The Canadian Press
