Quarantine of that farm and the area are in place.

We would like to remind everyone of proper bio-safety procedures when:
  • buying/selling/transporting birds
  • handling your own birds
  • visiting fellow bird enthusiasts
Also to keep records of your bird sales/purchases as well as travel routes.

We hope that the duck farmer can make it through the tough time and that the CFIA was a step ahead and able to quarantine in time before it can spread.

Be vigilant!
