As losses pile up, CF Montréal pledges rebuild in open letter to fans
As CF Montréal languishes at the bottom of the Major League Soccer standings, the club says it is entering a rebuild. Montreal has a 3-15-6 record in MLS play — for 15 points in 24 games — and dropped out of the Canadian Championship with a quarterfinal loss to lower-tier Forge FC of the Canadian Premier League in a bleak season. In an open letter to fans Wednesday morning, Montreal's executives acknowledged the team's shortcomings and stated the club would begin a new chapter rooted in ambition, pride and winning. "We share your dissatisfaction with the Club's results, and it is our responsibility to build a winning team that we can all be proud of," says the letter. "That is why we have decided to undertake a rebuild and launch a new chapter at CF Montréal. A chapter based on ambition and pride." President and CEO Gabriel Gervais, managing director of recruitment and sporting methodology Luca Saputo and managing director of academy strategy and roster management Simon Saputo signed the letter. It did not specify any tangible changes coming but did say supporters would see concrete steps toward that goal in the upcoming transfer windows. The MLS summer window opens Thursday.

The pollution has been spotted at a waterfall in the middle of Hawes which is popular with sightseers and photographers, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.A spokesperson for the EA said: "Whilst pollution was visible, our officers were unable to establish the source."Water samples have been taken and our investigations are ongoing."Previous pollution in the beck was attributed to a faulty drainage system at the Wensleydale Creamery in discharge from the business in March, Saputo, which owns the cheesemaker, said the issue with the drainage system had been resolved and further remedial works would take place to ensure there were no future the latest reports of pollution, a spokesperson for Saputo UK said: "As members of the local community, we take environmental concerns extremely seriously."Following reports of pollution in the Gayle Beck, we have been conducting thorough investigations and found that the creamery is not the source of the oily substance which appears upstream of our facility."

Tasmania Premier praised for helping save iconic Australian cheese producer
Tasmania Premier Jeremy Rockliff is being praised after saving one of Tasmania's most recognisable exports. Kind Island Dairy was almost sold to overseas competition, when in 2023, Canadian company Saputo put King Island Dairy on the market for almost a year with no takers, before announcing in September 2023 it would be closing the dairy farm. Mr Rockliff then promised a $10 million support package, and then a buyer stepped forward, saving dozens of jobs. 'We set up the King Island response team as a result of the closure of the dairy, but in anticipation that we need to broaden the economic opportunities on the island, not just focus on saving the dairy,' Mr Rockliff said.
