Newfoundland’s unique version of the Pine Marten has grown out of its threatened designation.

Newfoundland’s unique and elusive pine marten has made an improbable comeback, growing out of its threatened designation after decades of conservation efforts.

The Newfoundland marten has grown distinct from its cousins in the rest of North America, thanks to hundreds of years of island isolation. “A bunch of things happened, but the basis, in my opinion, is that we understood better in terms of what was really putting them at risk,” Hearn explained.Over the course of ten years, Hearn and his team tracked 160 animals, using RFID tags and even riding in helicopters to track their movements and habitat use. Hearn calls it a highlight of his career.

“I'm 41 years old and I spend a lot of time in the woods, and it’s only the last few years I've been seeing them,” he said. “I’d never seen them before until two or three years.” Environment Canada has issued a wind warning for Greater Victoria and the southern Gulf Islands as southeasterly gusts are expected to reach 90 km/h at times.The federal government will create a new 'Canadian Renters’ Bill of Rights,' which would require landlords to disclose their properties’ rental price history to prospective tenants.

It's been over three months since the automated speed enforcement cameras in Barrie were installed, and so far, the city says they've seen a significant speed reduction.CAA has launched its annual Worst Roads campaign and is giving people the chance to voice their concerns about bad roads in their communities.B.C.
