The Huntsman Marine Science Centre in St. Andrews has received some funding. The centre is building a 20,000 square-foot Discovery Centre to replace its existing aquarium. Premier Shawn Graham

and Minister of Veterans Affairs Greg Thomspon announced the contribution of 2.5 million dollars from both levels of government.
The old building will be torn down and a new one will be built on the lower campus property of the Huntsman Marine Science Centre. This completes the $20 million capital renewal campaign. The centre is putting $3 million toward its project valued at over $8 million.

Border Closed

 RCMP are releasing few details about the St. Stephen-Calais border crossing being shut down last night. The bomb squad was on the scene and people were questioned as the Ferry Point Border Crossing was isolated from 6pm until 1:30 this morning.



All the mounties will say at this point, is that information discovered by the Canadian Border Services Agency regarding a vehicle and its occupants led to the border crossing being closed. However, RCMP say an investigation has determined there was no evidence of any explosive device.
