Some homeless shelters in New Brunswick are reporting their busiest summer yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A building at the exhibition grounds in Fredericton that was meant to be an out-of-the-cold shelter until mid-April, will be staying open for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And in Saint John, Ben Appleby with the Outflow Ministry is reporting a record number of people accessing the shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figures from New Brunswick\u2019s Social Development Department say the shift in homelessness is provincewide, with 60 per cent of out-of-the-cold beds available for the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Brunswick Museum is set to add a rare great grey owl to its extensive bird collection next month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The owl will become the first specimen of its kind to be held at a Canadian museum in over 100 years, according to Greg Jongsma, the museum’s acting curator of the zoology department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The great grey owl is one of the largest owls in North America in terms of height. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The museum only knows of nine confirmed sightings of the bird, according to records vetted by the New Brunswick Bird Committee, an organization created in 1992 and sponsored by the museum to come up with an official bird list for the province. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Bridgetown, Nova Scotia held its final mass, marking the end of more than three centuries of Roman Catholic worship in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The church is closing its doors due to declining attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The building was built in 1874, but the church has been part of a continuous Catholic presence in the community that began in 1690. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
