An avalanche left a skier stranded in an out-of-bounds area of an Alberta ski resort this weekend — but due to rare cell service, the man was able to call 911 for help. That call prompted a response from two ski patrols who built the man a shelter and spent the night with him up on the mountain.

He was caught in an avalanche and carried down the mount

A northern New Brunswick fish farm lost 95 per cent of its Arctic char during the record cold over the weekend. Pisciculture Acadienne, an aquaculture farm on the Acadian Peninsula, says the estimated 95,000 to 100,000 fish it lost were worth at least $600,000. Owner Emmanuel Chiasson said the extreme weather caused a power outage, and the farm's generator failed. Without power, no water was circulating in the fish's tanks, so the fish ran out of oxygen. He said the future of his farm, which has

Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson says Canada is at a fork in the road and the energy decisions made today will ripple for generations to come. During a fireside chat with International Energy Agency executive director Fatih Birol at the University of Ottawa this week, Wilkinson sketched out two paths he sees for Canada. The first path he calls a plan for the future, which “acknowledges the reality of climate change” and involves seriously planning for a decarbonized economy. This pa

The video shows the cat and deer in a standoff before the cat eventually spooks the deer enough for it to hop away.“I noticed this curious young deer approaching my neighbor’s cat, who happened to be deaf. I thought it was cute, so I decided to take an apple out to the deer,” he said. “Then I sliced off a piece of apple and threw it to the deer, who was afraid to approach until I left.”Sumner told Storyful he has several security cameras outside his home, and said he leaves a pan of water out for the animals.“We live in the forest, and have many critters that come around for a drink, or a snack, as I occasionally leave fruit or vegetables out for them,” he said.
