Bird Flu found again in Nova Scotia

By Kevin Northup Mar 8, 2023 | 12:09 PM

Bird flu is back in Nova Scotia.

An area in Yarmouth County is the spot of the latest outbreak, declared over the weekend at a non-commercial property.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency tells CBC that it came from a small flock of mixed poultry in Port Maitland.

All of the birds have been killed.

Meanwhile, the Liberals are calling for the government to fund a testing lab for the province.

Agriculture Shadow Minister Keith Irving says samples have to be sent away to other provinces, resulting in longer wait times for farmers.
