  • MIL-OSI Translation: Warning: Risk of confusion between the chanterelle and the Omphalotus illudens

    MIL OSI Translation. Government of the Republic of France statements from French to English –

    Source: Switzerland – Canton Government of Geneva in French

    Chanterelles versus Omphalotus illudens Following global warming, the Omphalotus Illudens mushroom thrives in our regions and is found in large quantities in our forests. When young, it can be confused with the chanterelle. The latter grows in the ground and can be found in small groups. However, it does not grow in clumps, unlike its lookalike which grows in clumps and on wood (stumps).

    Below you will find how to differentiate these two mushrooms so as not to confuse them.

    How to avoid confusion?

    Look closely at the gills/folds under the mushroom cap. Chanterelles do not have true gills, unlike Omphalotus. Look for the characteristic fruity apricot smell of chanterelles, it is a good clue to differentiate them. Avoid picking mushrooms on rotting wood if you are looking for chanterelles.

    Differences between chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius) and omphalotus Illudens

    Shape and texture Chanterelle: funnel-shaped with an irregular cap, often wavy at the edges; firm flesh; fruity apricot odor Omphalotus illudens: also funnel-shaped, but more symmetrical with a more regular, smooth cap; less firm flesh and does not give off the fruity apricot odor characteristic of chanterelles Color Chanterelle: bright yellow or golden Omphalotus illudens: often bright orange to golden, but sometimes darker, which can increase the confusion Blades or folds Chanterelle: the folds under the cap are not true blades, but rather thick veins that run down the stem Omphalotus illudens: it has true thin, tight blades that extend onto the stem Place of growth Chanterelle: it generally grows on the ground, often in association with deciduous or coniferous trees, in the mosses of our forests Omphalotus illudens: it often grows on rotting wood, such as stumps or roots, especially in wooded areas. Toxicity Chanterelle: edible and prized in cooking Omphalotus illudens: toxic, causing serious gastrointestinal disorders a few hours after ingestion, such as vomiting and diarrhea

    September 25 – Ottawa – National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces

    From August 29 to September 18, 2024, while conducting surveillance activities alongside NATO ships, Her Majesty’s Canadian Ships (HMCS) Shawinigan and Charlottetown monitored Russian submarines and surface vessels.

    Beginning on 29 August, HMCS Shawinigan monitored a Russian submarine and surface vessel in the Baltic and North Seas before handing over responsibility to Her Majesty’s Ship (HMS) Iron Duke, Royal Navy, on 1 September. On 17 September, HMCS Charlottetown, flagship of Standing NATO Maritime Group 2 (SNMG2), relieved the Spanish Navy’s ESPS Cristobal Colon, also part of SNMG2, in surveillance duties and monitored the vessels as they continued their voyage in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

    During this period, HMCS Charlottetown also conducted surveillance activities on another submarine as well as three surface ships of the Russian Federation Navy as they participated in Exercise OCEAN 2024, a large-scale Russian exercise.

    HMCS Shawinigan is currently deployed in Europe alongside HMCS Glace Bay on Operation REASSURANCE with Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group 1 (SNMCMG1). She is working alongside NATO allied ships to safely dispose of historical munitions in regional waters, in addition to participating in NATO enhanced vigilance activities.

    HMCS Charlottetown is currently deployed on Operation REASSURANCE as the flagship of SNMG2, working alongside NATO allied ships to support maritime security in the Mediterranean region.

    The right of innocent passage provides standards and expectations that vessels must meet when transiting another country’s waters. During these surveillance activities, Russian vessels were observed to meet these standards and expectations.

  • MIL-OSI Translation: Agency invites taxpayers to share ideas for improving services

    MIL OSI Translation. Canadian French to English –

    Source: Government of Canada – in French 1

    The Canada Revenue Agency is committed to providing a high-quality service experience to taxpayers and benefit recipients.

    September 25, 2024 Ottawa, Ontario Canada Revenue Agency

    The Canada Revenue Agency is committed to providing a high-quality service experience to taxpayers and benefit recipients. In this spirit, the Agency is launching public consultations to hear from individuals, non-professional representatives and tax intermediaries on their appreciation of the Agency’s services.

    THE Consultations on Agency 2024 services will serve, on the one hand, to better understand the experience of people who rely on the Agency’s services and, on the other hand, to identify areas where improvements are desirable. As the Agency adapts to a constantly changing environment, its top priority remains to ensure that its services remain accessible, responsive and adapted to the changing needs of clients.

    How to participate

    From September 25 to December 2, 2024, individuals, non-professional representatives, and tax intermediaries will have the opportunity to share their impressions of their interactions with the Agency’s services through an online questionnaire. The Agency will also hold in-person and online consultation sessions with members of these groups by invitation to conduct more in-depth discussions.

    Every voice counts: Answer the online questionnaire to share your thoughts and help shape the future of the Agency’s services.

    To ensure participant confidentiality and to obtain a broad range of perspectives, participant recruitment and reporting will be managed by an independent third party.

    What the Agency hopes to learn

    New technologies and emerging trends are changing the world, and so are taxpayers’ expectations of government services. The Agency, which administers a complex tax system, recognizes the need to adapt to these changes in order to provide people-centred services. It also recognizes that taxpayers and benefit recipients deserve a better service experience and want to focus on what matters most to them. That’s why it needs their feedback. The consultations will help us understand the specific challenges they face and identify specific services that are not meeting their expectations.

    How taxpayer feedback shapes the Agency’s services

    In recent years, demand for a seamless digital experience has increased, prompting the Agency to modernize its services to make them easier to access. Feedback collected in the past has played a vital role in improving services, and the upcoming consultations will be another important step in ensuring service delivery is tailored to the needs of our clients. Key improvements the Agency has made include:

    Creating a digital form for the Disability Tax Credit to simplify the process for those who rely on this critical support. Enhancing the Agency’s login services to ensure faster and more secure access to online accounts. Launching the Understanding Your Taxes e-learning tool to help youth better understand and manage their tax obligations. Extending contact centre hours to improve access to timely support. Recognizing the challenges individuals and businesses face in reaching the Agency, the Agency is working to ensure they can get the help they need when they need it. Expanding the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP), which helps vulnerable and low-income individuals access free support with filing their taxes.

    While progress has been made, the Agency recognizes that challenges remain and that more work needs to be done. Encouraging participation in these consultations will play a key role in shaping the Agency’s future programs and services, making it easier for taxpayers to understand their tax obligations and access the benefits and credits to which they are entitled.

  • MIL-OSI Translation: SDG Flag Day in Lugano: the important role of cities in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals

    MIL OSI Translation. Government of the Republic of France statements from French to English –

    Source: Switzerland – Department of Foreign Affairs in French

    Federal Department of Foreign Affairs

    Bern, 25.09.2024 – Since 2019, the SDG Flag Day has been held every year on 25 September, at the initiative of the business community (UN Global Compact). Schools, municipalities, organisations, companies and governments raise a flag depicting the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to symbolically express their support for the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs. By participating in the SDG Flag Day event in Lugano, the two Federal Council delegates for the 2030 Agenda, Markus Reubi and Daniel Dubas, are emphasising the importance of cities in implementing the 2030 Agenda.

    Access to green spaces and public spaces, sustainable transport systems, waste sorting or urban planning with all stakeholders: cities are particularly confronted with the challenges of sustainability. Although they only cover 3% of the Earth’s surface, they consume three quarters of the world’s resources and are responsible for 75% of global emissions. This is why SDG 11 “Sustainable cities and communities” of the 2030 Agenda also addresses this central theme.

    Cities and municipalities must be designed to be more inclusive, resilient and green. On this year’s SDG Flag Day, the City of Lugano is illustrating with various examples how it is contributing to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

    “With his program

    Today’s event in Lugano is the starting point for closer collaboration between the FDFA and various cities in the field of sustainability, which will be supported by a city symposium at the 2025 edition.

    Agenda 2030The 2030 Agenda is the global framework for local, national and international efforts to find common solutions to major global challenges, such as climate change, resource exploitation, biodiversity conservation and health crises. The 2030 Agenda was adopted on 25 September 2015 by 193 UN Member States, including Switzerland. It applies to all States and sets sustainable development goals until 2030. In Switzerland, too, the 2030 Agenda outlines the broad outlines of sustainable development policy. The 17 SDGs and their 169 targets are at the heart of the 2030 Agenda. They are structured around five principles that guide action: people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership. With these five principles, the 2030 Agenda aims to ensure human well-being, economic development and environmental protection and addresses aspects such as peace, the rule of law and governance. The SDG Flag Day event is an initiative of the United Nations Global Compact, a global network of businesses committed to the goals of the 2030 Agenda.

    Source: Switzerland – Canton Government of Geneva in French

    The Council of State responded to a consultation of the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) on the partial revision of the ordinances on road signs (OSR) and regulating admission to road traffic (OAC).

    The revision of the OSR concerns in particular the integration of concrete technical standards developed by private law organisations into federal law in order to make them legally binding. It is accompanied by two new ordinances: one on the indication of direction at junctions and interchanges on motorways and semi-motorways, the other on special markings. It also implements the Motion 17.3952 Bühler “Allow bilingual signage on motorways”. In addition, it allows for the imposition of a fine on motorways and semi-motorways, not only for unauthorized overtaking on the right by pulling out and then merging, but also for unauthorized overtaking on the right.

    The Geneva government generally approves the proposed changes. However, it is asking that certain characteristics of construction site and hiking signage be coordinated with the new version of the OSR and that it be adapted in order to harmonize the use of paint on cycle paths or lanes to improve cyclist safety.

    Regarding the revision of the OAC, the Council of State expresses certain reservations, in particular concerning the traffic theory course (CTC). It opposes the obligation to follow this course before the basic theoretical examination, considering that the CTC takes on its full meaning when the student is directly confronted with the reality of the road.

    The Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (MAC) and the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) are proud to unveil Alanis Obomsawin: Children Must Hear Another Story, the MAC’s newest exhibition that will be open to the public from September 26, 2024 to January 26, 2025 in the MAC’s temporary space at Place Ville Marie.

    Montreal, September 18, 2024 – The Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (MAC) and the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) are proud to unveil Alanis Obomsawin: Children Must Hear Another Story, the MAC’s newest exhibition that will be open to the public from September 26, 2024 to January 26, 2025, in the MAC’s temporary space at Place Ville Marie. The exhibition, dedicated to the work of Abenaki documentarian, activist and singer Alanis Obomsawin, one of the world’s most acclaimed Indigenous filmmakers, will be accompanied by Wàbigon, an exclusive mural by artist Caroline Monnet.

    After enjoying great success in Berlin, Vancouver and Toronto, Children Must Hear Another Story will highlight the work of Alanis Obomsawin in the heart of the Montreal metropolis. Divided by decades, this retrospective provides an exhaustive panorama of her cinematographic, visual and musical work. The exhibition focuses in particular on the motivations of the artist, who distinguished herself by her strength and courage from a very young age; followed by the 1960s, a period during which she became known to the public as an artist and activist for indigenous rights, then the subsequent periods, just as significant, which allow us to follow the evolution of her trajectory and her thinking.

    “My whole life I have been primarily interested in education, because it is through education that we develop, that we learn to hate or love.” – Alanis Obomsawin

    The exhibition presents 13 of the 64 films Alanis Obomsawin made at the NFB, including her first, Christmas at Moose Factory (1971), which depicts the Cree community through the drawings and voices of its children; Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance (1993), filmed behind the barricades during the Oka Crisis; and You Can’t Make the Same Mistake Twice (2016), which follows the lawsuit brought against the federal government by First Nations representatives. These films are accompanied by archival documents that shed new light on the process of their creation; drawings by children from Moose Factory; and masks, prints and monotypes by the artist.

    Quotes

    “Supporting museums and exhibitions that provide Canadians with access to heritage is essential to learning from the past and shaping the future. I am very proud that, thanks to our government’s investment, the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal is showcasing the work of Indigenous artist and filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin and offering visitors a unique opportunity to discover the impact of her film work over the decades.” − The Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Canadian Heritage

    “It is an honour and a privilege for me to present this retrospective exhibition of Alanis Obomsawin in the city where she has lived and worked for 70 years. A leading figure in our cultural, political and social landscape, Alanis is a role model and inspiration for so many Indigenous and non-Indigenous filmmakers, artists and activists. We know her for her films; the exhibition allows us to discover the singer, the storyteller, and the depth and richness of her commitment to Indigenous peoples across Canada.” – Lesley Johnstone, exhibition curator at the MAC

    “The NFB has been Alanis Obomsawin’s creative home for nearly 60 years. This exceptional artist paved the way for true recognition of Indigenous peoples, so that their realities and aspirations could be seen, heard and better known. Her documentary films bear witness to the social and cultural changes experienced by First Peoples and have contributed in their own way to these major transformations. Ms. Obomsawin’s essential and accessible work continues to inspire new generations of filmmakers in Canada and around the world.” – Suzanne Guèvremont, Government Film Commissioner and Chair of the NFB

    Organized by Richard Hill and Hila Peleg, the exhibition Alanis Obomsawin: Children Must Hear Another Story is made possible through a partnership between the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin), the Art Museum at the University of Toronto and the Vancouver Art Gallery, in collaboration with the National Film Board of Canada and with the generous support of CBC/Radio-Canada and the Canada Council for the Arts. This project was made possible in part by the Government of Canada. The exhibition at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal is organized by Lesley Johnstone, with Marjolaine Labelle, and made possible by the Government of Quebec.

    A mural by Caroline Monnet

    In conjunction with the exhibition, the MAC will unveil an exclusive mural by Caroline Monnet that pays tribute to Alanis Obomsawin’s major influence: Wàbigon, which means “a flower blooms” in Anishinaabemowin. Caroline Monnet, an artist of Anishinaabe and French descent, has created a monumental photographic portrait of eight Indigenous women and a child in an enchanted forest. It features Acho Dene Koe First Nation chief and artist Swaneige Bertrand with her daughter Aja-Eyal Ferron; the artist’s sister, Émilie Monnet, an interdisciplinary performer; Caroline Monnet herself; Guinean-Wendat dancer and choreographer Aïcha Bastien N’Diay; Eeyou (Cree) writer and artist Virginia Pésémapéo Bordeleau; Atikamekw visual artist Catherine Boivin; Inuk singer-songwriter Elisapie Isaac; and Innu soprano Elisabeth St-Gelais.

    “This work highlights the buds that Alanis has managed to deploy during her impressive career. It is also a reaction against the excesses of industrialization. It is characterized by inventiveness, the presence of rhythms, colors and ornamentations inspired by fauna and flora.” – Caroline Monnet, artist

    In 1974, Michel Brault’s feature film Les ordres was released. The National Film Board of Canada would like to mark the 50th anniversary of this masterpiece, which won an award at Cannes, and announces the distribution of the version restored by Éléphant: mémoire du cinéma québécois to festivals, film clubs and other venues.

    The 50th anniversary of this masterpiece of Quebec cinema will also be celebrated.

    September 23, 2024 – Montreal – National Film Board of Canada (NFB)

    In 1974, the feature film The orders, by Michel Brault, was launched. The National Film Board of Canada wishes to highlight the 50th anniversary of this masterpiece, awarded at Cannes, and announces the distribution of the restored version by Elephant: memory of Quebec cinema at festivals, film clubs and other venues.

    The NFB now shares with Elephant the distribution rights to several of Michel Brault’s works, including restored versions of the films Les ordres, Entre la mer et l’eau douce, Quand je serai parti… vous vivrez encore and the documentary series Le son des Français d’Amérique, co-directed with André Gladu.

    The NFB thanks the Brault family for their trust in distributing these works, and continues to preserve and promote Michel Brault’s films produced at the NFB, which are significant for our cinematography and many of which are available on nfb.ca.

    Quotes

    “Michel Brault is one of the greatest creators of Quebec cinema: a master of direct cinema, a virtuoso of the camera, an exceptional director of photography, a notable director in both documentary and fiction, at the NFB and in the private sector. This new distribution agreement allows the NFB to make its films ever more accessible, particularly to new generations. The 50th anniversary of the Ordres reminds us of the importance of such works for our collective memory.” — Suzanne Guèvremont, Government Film Commissioner and Chair of the NFB

    “The Brault family would like to express its gratitude to the NFB and its partners, Éléphant and the Cinémathèque québécoise, for their participation in the promotion, conservation and protection of the exceptional heritage that our father left us. Thank you on behalf of all of Michel’s children and grandchildren.”

    The orders

    Press kit: spacemedia.onf.ca/epk/les-ordres

    Halfway between fiction and documentary, Les ordres is based on the testimony of around fifty people imprisoned following the application of war measures in October 1970. We follow five characters (three men and two women) constructed from these testimonies, from their arrest to their release. The film won the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1975.

    Production underway of a film on Michel Brault

    The movie Michel Brault – The instinct of sight, written and directed by Frédérick Pelletier and co-produced by the ACPAV and the NFB, will be a documentary halfway between a biography and a personal essay, enriched in particular by the support of the NFB archives team. This film will help to reaffirm Michel Brault’s essential place in world cinema, while his work and his ways of doing things still exert a decisive influence on filmmakers here and elsewhere.

    About Michel Brault (1928-2013)

    His name appears in the credits of nearly two hundred productions. In turn cameraman, director of photography, director and producer, Michel Brault has, among other things, participated, either as director or director of photography, in four of the ten best Canadian films of all time.

    In 1956, Michel Brault joined the NFB, where he shot some forty short and medium-length films. In addition to Claude Jutra, his main partners were Jacques Giraldeau, Fernand Dansereau, Louis-Georges Carrier, Claude Fournier and Gilles Groulx. It was with the latter that he co-directed in 1958 The snowshoers, film which would have a decisive influence on the French team of the NFB: the latter would resolutely commit itself to the path of the direct movement, of which Brault, with his colleagues, is now credited with paternity.

    After a stay in France where he filmed with Jean Rouch and Mario Ruspoli, Michel Brault directed with Pierre Perrault For the rest of the world And Acadia, Acadia?!

    Michel Brault’s work as cameraman and director of photography is impressive: My uncle Antoine (1971) and Kamouraska (1973) by Claude Jutra; Die at the top of your lungs (1979) by Anne-Claire Poirier; The time of a hunt (1972) and Good Riddance (1979) by Francis Mankiewicz; Louisiana (1984) by Philippe de Broca; Threshold (1981), No Mercy (1986) and Dead Man Out (1989) by Dick Pearce; The Great Land of Small (1986) by Vojtěch Jasný.

    Michel Brault made his first feature-length fiction film in 1967, with Entre la mer et l’eau douce. He then directed Les ordres (1974), a masterful film that earned him the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival and four awards at the Palmarès du film canadien (predecessor of the Canadian Screen Awards).

    From 1974 to 1980, Michel Brault, with the filmmaker André Gladu, undertook the production of a 27-episode documentary series on the traditional music of French-speaking America.

    Then, he returned to fiction with Les noces de papier (1989), Montréal vu par… (co-directed, 1991), Shabbat Shalom! (1992), Mon amie Max (1994) and Quand je suis disparu… vous vivrez encore (1999). Michel Brault returned to documentary in 1996 with Ozias Leduc… like space and time, a one-hour film about the famous painter, then, in 2002, with La Manic.

    Michel Brault has received, for his entire body of work, the Victor-Morin Prize (Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Montréal, 1975), the Molson Prize (Canada Council for the Arts, 1980), the Québec-Alberta Prize (1986), the Albert-Tessier Prize (Les Prix du Québec, 1986), the Governor General’s Award (1996) and the National Order of Québec (2003).

    Press release

    Hiawatha First Nation, Ontario, September 25, 2024 — Hiawatha First Nation has been allocated more than $430,000 through the Natural Infrastructure Fund to restore more than 3 kilometres of shoreline along Rice Lake to protect wildlife and reduce shoreline erosion.

    By working with nature, Hiawatha First Nation supports and protects biodiversity and human well-being. This restoration project involves integrating native plants to reduce shoreline erosion while creating protected habitat for various frog and fish species, as well as the culturally significant wild rice. A medicinal plant garden, boardwalk, pier and benches will also provide easier access to nature, promote use of the shoreline for community cultural practices, and create a welcoming and relaxing space for the community.

    Hiawatha First Nation is working to restore the land not only to ensure a more sustainable future, but also to create a peaceful place where community members can enjoy nature and ensure the land and wildlife are protected for many generations to come.

    Quotes

    “I am honoured to support this investment in the shoreline restoration of Rice Lake in partnership with Hiawatha First Nation. Investing in infrastructure, such as this shoreline restoration project, is essential to ensuring the sustainability of our environment. This project will support biodiversity through the restoration of natural habitats for plants and animals and, through the development of a medicinal plant garden, will create a healthy, sustainable and welcoming environment for all members of the community.”

    The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities

    “Restoring shorelines with native species is essential for many reasons. First, it is our Creator’s responsibility to care for our waters, and when we restore lakeshores with native plants, we improve the health of our lakes. Shoreline restoration helps improve water quality by removing pollutants and nutrients from runoff. Additionally, restoring shorelines with native species creates healthy, stable ecosystems, which strengthen habitats and food chains. Shoreline restoration is about caring for the water, the land, and all living creatures.”

    Laurie Carr, Chief, Hiawatha First Nation

    Quick Facts

    The federal government is committed to making our communities more liveable, sustainable and resilient by investing in the protection and restoration of natural environments.

    The federal government is investing $437,500 in this project through the Natural Infrastructure Fund (NIF).

    The Natural Infrastructure Fund supports projects that use natural or hybrid approaches to increase resilience to climate change, reduce carbon emissions, protect and preserve biodiversity and wildlife habitat, and promote Canadians’ access to nature.

    Examples of natural infrastructure include urban forests, street trees, wetlands, living seawalls, biological seawalls, and naturalized coastal restoration.

    Hybrid infrastructure incorporates elements of artificial grey infrastructure to enhance or support natural infrastructure and/or the use of ecosystem processes. Examples of hybrid infrastructure include green roofs and walls, and naturalized storm basins.

    A minimum of 10% of the overall program envelope will be allocated to projects led by Indigenous people.

    The President of the Republic met with Massoud Pezeshkian, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, this Tuesday, September 24, 2024, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.

    The President of the Republic stressed the need to obtain without delay the release of the three French nationals arbitrarily held hostage in Iranian prisons for two years in undignified conditions, an imperative prerequisite for any improvement in bilateral relations with France and the desired re-engagement.

    The head of state then strongly condemned the transfer of ballistic missiles from Iran to Russia and warned the Iranian President against the Islamic Republic of Iran’s continued support for Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine.

    The President of the Republic also reiterated his great concern about the trajectory of the Iranian nuclear program. He called on Iran to cooperate fully with the IAEA to work towards a diplomatic solution on the issue.

    The two leaders finally discussed the regional situation and the President of the Republic stressed Iran’s responsibility to support a general de-escalation and to use its influence in this regard with the destabilizing actors who are gaining its support to move towards a ceasefire in Gaza and a cessation of hostilities in accordance with resolution 1701 on the Blue Line.

    Based on clear parameters, the Head of State stressed that France was willing to work towards resolving these disputes with the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in conjunction with its regional and international partners, with the aim of ensuring peace and security in the region.

  • MIL-OSI Translation: Climate change fuelling August heatwaves across Canada – Results from Canada’s Rapid Attribution System for Extreme Weather reveal that human-caused climate change has increased the likelihood of August heatwaves by at least 10-fold in some cases.

    MIL OSI Translation. Canadian French to English –

    Source: Government of Canada – in French 1

    Analyses using Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Rapid Attribution System for Extreme Weather Events show that, in all cases, human-induced climate change has increased the likelihood of the August 2024 heat waves, and in some cases by at least 10 times.

    September 25, 2024 – Ottawa, Ontario

    Analyses carried out using the Rapid attribution system for extreme weather events Environment and Climate Change Canada’s data show that, in all cases, human-caused climate change has increased the likelihood of August 2024 heat waves, and by at least 10 times in some cases.

    This system uses climate models to compare today’s climate to that of the pre-industrial period to explain how human-caused climate change has affected the likelihood of each heat wave.

    In three cases, human-induced climate change has made these heat waves significantly more likely. This means that human influence on the climate has made the following events at least ten times more likely.

    Inuvik (Northwest Territories) (August 6-10)

    Daily peak temperature during heatwave: 26.5°C Degrees above normal daily maximum*: 13.0°C

    Kitikmeot (Nunavut) (August 7-12)

    Daily peak temperature during heatwave: 25.0°C Degrees above normal daily maximum*: 12.4°C

    Kivalliq, Nunavut (August 8 to 14)

    Daily peak temperature during heatwave: 27.1°C Degrees above normal daily maximum*: 12.2°C

    In seven cases, human-caused climate change made these heat waves much more likely. This means that human influence on the climate made the following events at least two to ten times more likely.

    Atlantic Canada (August 24-27)

    Daily peak temperature during heatwave: 23.9°C Degrees above normal daily maximum*: 6.7°C

    Eastern Ontario (July 31 to August 2)

    Daily peak temperature during heatwave: 29.2°C Degrees above normal daily maximum*: 5.8°C

    Fort Smith, Northwest Territories (August 8-13)

    Daily peak temperature during heatwave: 26.9°C Degrees above normal daily maximum*: 9.2°C

    Northern British Columbia (August 7-11)

    Daily peak temperature during heatwave: 23.6°C Degrees above normal daily maximum*: 7.0°C

    Northern Quebec (August 13 to 16)

    Daily peak temperature during heatwave: 23.6°C Degrees above normal daily maximum*: 7.8°C

    Southern Quebec (July 27 to August 3)

    Daily peak temperature during heatwave: 28.3°C Degrees above normal daily maximum*: 7.6°C

    Yukon (August 5-9)

    Daily peak temperature during heatwave: 24.1°C Degrees above normal daily maximum*: 8.9°C

    Finally, human-caused climate change has made subsequent heat waves more likely. This means that human influence on the climate has made subsequent events at least one to two times more likely.

    Manitoba (July 30 to August 1)

    Daily peak temperature during heatwave: 28.3°C Degrees above normal daily maximum*: 6.4°C

    *The normal daily maximum is an average of all average daily maximum temperatures for a region between 1991 and 2020 over a one-month period around the event.

    Prolonged heat waves are a major factor driving increased wildfire activity in Canada. The 2023 wildfires in Canada burned nearly 15 million hectares of forest and cost Canadians tens of billions of dollars in damages.[1]. It is important to understand how human influence on climate has increased the likelihood of a particular heatwave shortly after it has occurred. This understanding helps inform adaptation strategies and intervention efforts in the context of climate change, while the heatwave and its impacts are still fresh in the mind.

    We urge the population to regularly monitor weather forecasts, to take all weather warnings seriously and to prepare weather hazards by developing an emergency plan or adapting their travel arrangements. Canadians can download the app WeatherCAN to receive weather alert notifications directly to their mobile devices. Weather alerts help Canadians prepare for severe weather, save lives and reduce impacts to property and livelihoods.

  • MIL-OSI Translation: AFRICA/DR CONGO – Two churches desecrated by guerrillas in Ituri closed

    MIL OSI Translation. Region: Italy –

    Source: The Holy See in Italian

    Mgr. Dieudonné Uringi Uuci, Bishop of Bunia

    Kinshasa (Agenzia Fides) – Two churches desecrated by a group of rebels have been closed in the diocese of Bunia, the capital of Ituri in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This was announced by Dieudonné Uringi Uuci, Bishop of Bunia, during the mass on Sunday 22 September. Mgr. Uringi in his statement states that “Considering the reprehensible acts committed by elements of the armed group CODECO (Cooperative for the Development of Congo), who closed the churches of Kpandroma and Jiba on the night between 28 and 29 August, acts qualified as desecration and which require compensation pursuant to canon 1211, Considering their threat against the physical and moral integrity of the priests working in these ecclesial structures and the arbitrary taking hostage of two faithful collaborators of the priests, Considering their voluntary intention to extort money for the release of these faithful with the sole aim of causing damage to the Church; Considering our immediate ordinary power under canon 381 paragraph 1, we decree: the closure of the Marie-Reine parish of Jiba and the sector of the pastoral institution of Kpandroma for an indeterminate period”. Msgr. Uringi has also decided to withdraw the priests who were working in the two churches. Canon 2011 of the Code of Canon Law establishes that “Sacred places are desecrated if gravely outrageous actions are committed in them with scandal, which in the judgment of the Ordinary of the place, are so serious and contrary to the sanctity of the place that it is not lawful to exercise worship in them until the outrage is repaired with the penitential rite, according to the liturgical books”. The Bishop emphasizes that the violence began after the Church launched an appeal for dialogue and to lay down arms. In response, the CODECO militiamen asked to see the priests. Not finding them, they attacked their collaborators, ransacked the premises and blocked the doors of the two churches. A similar episode had occurred six months ago in one of the parishes involved. The militiamen had mistreated and imprisoned several priests, demanding the release of the prisoners belonging to CODECO. This acronym indicates an association of various militias based on the Lendu ethnic group. The original acronym Cooperative for the Development of Congo, quite unusual for a guerrilla group, derives from the fact that when it was founded in the 1970s, CODECO was a real agricultural development cooperative composed of Lendu farmers. Over the years, land disputes with the Hema shepherds have caused two groups to arm themselves and CODECO has become an acronym indicating an association of various Lendu militias fighting against the Hema. CODECO is accused of various crimes against humanity including massacres in villages and refugee camps. (LM) (Agenzia Fides 25/9/2024)Share:

  • MIL-OSI Translation: Launch of the national program to combat foot rot

    MIL OSI Translation. Government of the Republic of France statements from French to English –

    Source: Switzerland – Canton Government of Geneva in French

    On October 1, the Consumer Affairs and Veterinary Service (SCAV) will begin inspections on all sheep farms in the canton of Geneva. This is part of the new program to combat foot rot, a disease that causes painful lesions on the hooves of affected animals.

    Designed by the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO), in collaboration with the main associations in the sector, the program aims to reduce the presence of this disease to less than 1% of Swiss farms, compared to around 25% currently. It will last a maximum of 5 years.

    Although this disease does not pose any risk to human health and does not affect the quality of the meat or milk produced by these animals, the fight against this sheep pathology responds to a problem of improving animal welfare. It will also help to minimize the economic impact of this epizootic on the canton’s sheep farms.

    The success of this programme will depend entirely on the good cooperation of sheep farmers with the veterinary services, due to the health treatments they will have to carry out, compliance with the immobilization measures that may be imposed and the rigour of biosecurity practices on their farms.
