Police say one person is dead after a helicopter crash in southern New Brunswick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
R-C-M-P say the Robinson R-44 helicopter departed Saturday from Fredericton en route to the airport in Sussex, northeast of Saint John.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mounties later got a call that the aircraft was missing, and searchers found the wreckage, along with the body of the pilot, near the Sussex airport on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P-E-I Premier Rob Lantz says he has asked for an investigation into a former cabinet minister’s handling of a permitting issue at a golf club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lantz says a third-party investigation found that Gilles Arsenault, when he was the environment minister, granted an amendment to a wetland alteration permit for the Summerside Golf Club that did not comply with provincial policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement by the premier came Sunday, just one day after he removed Arsenault from cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former minister has also been suspended from caucus pending the outcome of the province’s conflict of interest commissioner’s probe. (The Canadian Press)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board of the students’ union at Newfoundland and Labrador’s only university will vote on the fate of the campus radio station this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The executive committee of Memorial University’s students’ union passed a resolution this month to recommend the board stop funding C-H-M-R F-M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The union says it was in debt by nearly 300-thousand dollars at the end of 2024 and it is reviewing all of its services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Station manager Rhea Rollmann says campus stations across Canada are finding ways to become financially self-reliant, and she wants the union to give C-H-M-R at least a year to do the same. (The Canadian Press)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
