Keep your eyes peeled! Someone spotted a North Atlantic right whale skim feeding at the surface just off Long Pond, Conception Bay on 1 Nov. Lots of copepods in the area. New England Aquarium IDed her as #1408 , "Freckles", born in 2013 and never before recorded in Canada.

It was a privilege and honour to lay a wreath on behalf of Memorial University at the Gallipoli Newfoundland Caribou monument. To lay a rose on the grave sight of private McWhirter, the first Royal Newfoundland Regiment Member to make the supreme sacrifice. We will remember them!
