Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) has been confirmed in snowshoe hares in the Northwest Territories.
The disease affects rabbits and hares and is not known to cause illness in humans. Residents can help limit its spread by avoiding contact with sick or dead hares, keeping pets away from carcasses, and reporting unusual hare mortalities to their local ECC Regional Office. gnwt.ca/your-government/cont…

In May 2026, White-nose syndrome was detected for the first time in bats in the South Slave region.
White-nose syndrome threatens all five species of hibernating bats in the NWT, including the little brown myotis and the northern myotis.
This disease poses no health risk to humans and is not known to affect other wildlife.

Elections Alberta ran out of ballots in several First Nations during Monday's vote, claiming turnout was higher than expected.
As ACFN's Jay Telegdi shared, "This shouldn’t have come as a surprise because it was the First Nations people who were most vocal and most against the referendum from the beginning."

Leafs not on TV tonight because Sportsnet paywalled their Monday slate of games behind an app that barely works to show baseball on 5 channels and replays on another.
