The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has confirmed the presence of high pathogenic avian influenza, subtype H5N1, at a multi-species exhibition farm in the Avalon Peninsula on the island portion of Newfoundland and Labrador.
This exhibition farm does not produce birds for sale.
As the infected birds were located on an exhibition farm, and no other cases resembling avian influenza have been reported in the vicinity of the farm, Canada's status as 'free from AI' remains in place in accordance with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) guidance.
