Ottawa, Nov 24 : A new research has suggested that human footprints found a century ago in Lake Ontario, Canada, are 11,000 years old, not 100,000 years, as was indicated by previous research work.

In the fall of 1908, while building a waterworks tunnel east of Hanlan''s Point in Toronto Bay, a work crew came across 100 footprints in a layer of blue clay.

The prints appeared to have been left by people wearing moccasins.

Rene Cardinal, a Canadian Food Inspection Agency official talking to the Canadian Press, stated Romaine lettuce is believed to be the prime suspect in four E. coli outbreaks in southwestern Ontario. 
  
Suspected in outbreaks in two other regions, romaine lettuce shows a common thread among three groups of people in Niagara i.e. those who felt ill after eating at either M.T. Bellies in Welland or the Little Red Rooster in Niagara-on-the-Lake. 
  

Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Mariposa Meats issuing a public warning have asked for ham products distributed in Ontario to be recalled, as they could be contaminated with listeria.

According to the federal agency, the only product affected by the recall is Old Style brand's Thin Sliced Honey Ham that is sold in 450-gram packages with a best-before date of 17th November 2008 and UPC symbol 6 28292 50001 7.

The recent report presented by Ontario Medical Association has shown that that the increasing amount of pollution will take several lives in Canada.

Researchers did a national analysis to asses the impact of smoke on public health. Researchers also claim that increasing pollution will also adversely affect the national economy. Researchers used a model to calculate the number of deaths and health care costs.
