Ottawa to appoint Virginia Mearns of Iqaluit as Arctic ambassador

Prime Minister Mark Carney speaks to reporters before attending a meeting of the Inuit-Crown Partnership Committee, in Inuvik, N.W.T., on Thursday, July 24, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck OTTAWA — The government of Prime Minister Mark Carney is naming its Arctic ambassador today as it seeks deeper ties with circumpolar nations at a time of rising security concerns. The office of Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says Virginia Mearns will be the Arctic ambassador and will oversee the foreign policy for the region that Ottawa released last December. That policy calls for science collaboration across the Arctic, tighter security co-ordination and new consulates in both Alaska and Greenland. Those pledges came ahead of the government's announcement of cuts to the foreign service — part of Carney's plan to finance a massive boost in military spending. Carney told an event in Inuvik, N.W.T., this morning that he would be officially announcing the appointment later today. Mearns lives in Iqaluit and has worked within local Inuit governments. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 24, 2025. Dylan Robertson, The Canadian Press

Ottawa Fire Services hazmat team helps tackle transport truck fire in Stittsville

Ottawa Fire Servies says its hazardous materials (hazmat) team helped deal with a significant fuel leak after a transport truck caught fire in Stittsville Wednesday. Firefighters were called to a section of Iber Road, south of Hazeldean Road, at around 11:09 a.m. on reports a truck was on fire close to a building. The driver had made it out of the vehicle safely and told firefighters that the fuel tanks were approximately half-full and could contain up to 500 litres. A large amount of fuel was leaking because of the fire, Ottawa Fire Services spokesperson Nick DeFazio said. Hazmat crews used an absorbent called 'Oclansorb' to keep the fuel and oil floating on top of the water used to fight the fire from leaking into a nearby ditch. The fire was declared under control at 11:27 a.m. and was kept from spreading to the nearby building. DeFazio said the Ministry of Environment was notified and they called in a cleanup company to the scene. Firefighters left the scene at around 1:30 p.m.
