CBC CUTBACKS: The CBC has announced 657 positions will be eliminated to deal with a budget shortfall, and 13 are in Ontario. Afternoon radio shows outside of Toronto and Ottawa will be regionalized. That means there will be one afternoon show for all of northern Ontario, instead of separate shows in the northeast and northwest. The new afternoon show will broadcast from Sudbury. A new CBC station that was set to open in London, Ontario is not going forward.
TRAILS CLOSE: Snowmobile trails across the region are closed. In Sudbury, grooming operations have stopped and signs have been removed. The trail association says deteriorating snow and ice conditions are making snowmobiling extremely hazardous anywhere.
NO WATER IN MOOSONEE: Residents in the town of Moosonee don't have running water. The public works department says due to a watermain break and recent snow, they're having a hard time locating where it is broken. People can get water at the water plant for sanitary purposes. Water for drinking purposes has to be purchased. The public works department says it's not sure when water will be running again.
