Today, on the National Day of Mourning, we take a moment to reflect and remember workers who have been injured, lost their lives, or became ill as a result of their work.
Our flags are flying at half mast to honour their memory.

PUBLIC ADVISORY: Dry conditions around NL have increased the risk of wildfires, especially on the Avalon Peninsula. Grass & brush fires can quickly get out of control & create a serious safety risk. Please avoid burning brush or grass this weekend. #IAmFireSmart #NLwx #GovNL

Did you know the colour of ice may indicate its strength?
🔵 Clear blue ice is strongest.
⚪ White opaque or snow ice is half as strong as blue ice.
⚫ Grey ice is unsafe. The grayness indicates the presence of water.
