You're being urged to check your cupboard for a breakfast product that could potentially make you sick.
Ova Easy brand dried eggs being recalled from store shelves because it could contain salmonella.
The
Canadian Food Inspection Agency says you should check your home for the

Saint
John is one step closer to becoming a home port with a $300,000
investment by the provincial government in updating the port for
expedition class ships.
That money is to help ready the Port to
have cruise ships depart from here. Tourism Minister Trevor Holder tells Tide News we'll start small with so-called expedition class ships,
which typically have 50 to 200 people and crew on board.
Holder
says the hope is that the Saint John airport will be able to attract
more flights at cheaper rates once business takes off.
A new floating dock will need to be built off the Pugsley wharf.
The
smaller ships that could depart from here would head to destinations
like Alma, Campobello, and even some destinations on the Saint John
River, like Gagetown.
Speculation is swirling about the identity of a private partner potentially offering long term help for Cherry Brook Zoo in Saint John.

that someone may be stepping up to help is very welcome.

Mel Norton referenced the potential partnership at common council. It's
hoped more details will emerge in the coming month.

The
Canadian Automobile Association is launching a new tool on the web aimed
at seniors and keeping them safe while driving, claiming too few of the
elderly are aware.
The C-A-A maintains seniors should be aware of changes related to age that can affect their driving.
By age
60, the average person needs three times as much light in order to see
as they did at age 20. That has an impact on driving at night. C-A-A
research has found half of seniors have adjusted their driving habits
such as reducing how much they drive at night or cutting it out
altogether.
47 per cent of us are worried about an aging family member when they're driving.
