In the north, the mayor wants to register cancer for his municipality – Vaughan Today
Jean-Christophe Destaylor, mayor of Halloween (different centre), in the North, is concerned. In this city with a population of 22,000 people A resident of Lille and the Belgian border, she is not the only one. Before him, a gastroenterologist stirred heaven and earth for so long that health authorities considered the consequences of thirty-one years of dioxin discharges by the old household waste incinerator located at the entrance to the city.
In his practice, between 2003 and 2005, Dr. Jean Lefevre observed a number of “Abnormally high” crabs among his patients who live in Halloween, Ronk and Nouvelle-en-Verean, two neighboring towns, “Especially in young women, without exposure to genetic factors or risky behavior”. The closure of the old incinerator in 2002 was still in people’s minds. Four years ago, Danone discovered dioxins in cow’s milk purchased from breeders on Halloween. Sixteen heads of cattle had to be slaughtered. The scenario that was repeated at the end of 2001. The new fees led the authorities to ban the marketing of vegetables grown in the region, as well as the marketing of milk and eggs.
Equipped with smoke filtration systems and analyzes for dioxin releases within regulatory limits, the new incinerator for the Energy Recovery Center was launched the following year, in 2003, and theoretically had everything to reassure residents after such a shock. But, on Halloween, we’re always wary of smoke.
“Stop eating local products”
Because he was regularly questioned about cancer cases in his town, Jean-Christophe Destaylor called for an epidemiological study to be carried out and a cancer registry opened. appreciate it “Only a reliable statistical tool can confirm or invalidate our concerns” He talks about fifty cases “For those who have questions about its nature, as well as the young age of patients”. He also asks about breast milk tests “Because there has been no information about her for twenty years.” ! In early August, he wrote to the Regional Health Agency (ARS) “In order to determine whether our cancer rates are higher than anywhere else.”.
Dioxins, classified as carcinogens, are persistent organic pollutants in the environment. They are produced during combustion processes, accumulate in the food chain and are included in the World Health Organization’s list of chemical compounds of paramount importance. “So I didn’t understand that Halloween was not included in the national study on the occurrence of crabs near burning plants launched by the Institute for Health Watch in 2005”And the Dr. Lefevre is still surprised.

CFIA continues surveillance for HPAI in cattle, while sticking with original name for disease – RealAgriculture
The Canada Food Inspection Agency will continue to refer to highly pathogenic avian influenza in cattle as HPAI in cattle, and not refer to it as bovine influenza A virus (BIAV), as suggested by the American Association of Bovine Practitioners earlier this month.
Dr. Martin Appelt, senior director for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, in the interview below, says at this time Canada will stick with “HPAI in cattle” when referencing the disease that’s been confirmed in dairy cattle in multiple states in the U.S.
The CFIA’s naming policy is consistent with the agency’s U.S. counterparts’, as the U.S. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has also said it will continue referring to it as HPAI or H5N1.
Appelt explains how the CFIA is learning from the U.S. experience to-date, and how it is working with veterinarians across Canada to stay vigilant for signs of the disease in dairy and beef cattle.
As of April 19, there has not been a confirmed case of HPAI in cattle in Canada. Appelt says it’s too soon to say if an eventual positive case will significantly restrict animal movement, as is the case with positive poultry cases.
This is a major concern for the cattle industry, as beef cattle especially move north and south across the U.S. border by the thousands. Appelt says that CFIA will address an infection in each species differently in conjunction with how the disease is spread and the threat to neighbouring farms or livestock.
Currently, provincial dairy organizations have advised producers to postpone any non-essential tours of dairy barns, as a precaution, in addition to other biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of cattle contracting HPAI.

Cancer Awareness Month
Posted on: Apr 18, 2024
April is Cancer Awareness Month
As we recognize Cancer Awareness Month, we stand together to raise awareness, support those affected, advocate for prevention, early detection, and continued research towards a cure. Cancer is the leading cause of death for Métis women and the second leading cause of death for Métis men. The Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation Within Alberta is working hard to ensure that available supports for Métis Citizens battling cancer are culturally appropriate, comprehensive, and accessible by Métis Albertans at all stages of their cancer journey.
Receiving a cancer diagnosis, whether for yourself or a loved one, can feel overwhelming, leaving you unsure of where to turn for support. In June, our government will be launching the Cancer Supports and Navigation Program which will further support Métis Albertans and their families experiencing cancer by connecting them to OMG-specific cancer resources, external resources, and providing navigation support through the health care system. This program will also include Métis-specific peer support groups for those affected by cancer.
With funding from the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC) we have also developed the Métis Cancer Care Course to ensure that Métis Albertans have access to culturally safe and appropriate cancer services. This course is available to cancer care professionals across the country and provides an overview of who Métis people are, our culture, our approaches to health and wellbeing, our experiences with cancer care, and our cancer journey.
Together, we can make a difference in the fight against cancer and ensure equitable access to culturally safe and appropriate care for all Métis Albertans. Please click on the links below to learn more about the supports available for Métis Albertans, including our Compassionate Care: Cancer Transportation program.
I wish you all good health and happiness!
