The 10-year-old dog had been spotted crossing intersections, strolling through employee housing and entering lodges through automatic doors at the sprawling national park that’s home to grizzly bears, wolves and other predators.

La Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CNESST) indique que des correctifs ont été apportés à la suite d’un accident de travail impliquant un employé de la Ville de Mont-Joli, survenu le 6 octobre dernier sur un chantier de la rue Maisonneuve.
« La CNESST a été informée de cet accident. Un dossier d’intervention a été ouvert et des interventions ont été réalisées. L’inspectrice de la CNESST a d’abord ordonné l’arrêt des travaux d’excavation et de la réalisation des tâches impliquant la coactivité entre les travailleurs et les véhicules lourds en l’absence de procédure de travail sécuritaire », rapporte la responsable des communications à la Direction de la prévention-inspection – Chaudière-Appalaches, Bas-Saint-Laurent et Gaspésie de la CNESST, Isabelle Gosselin.
Les travaux ont pu reprendre le 8 octobre sur le chantier, puisque l’employeur a présenté des méthodes de travail sécuritaires pour les travaux d’excavation et les tâches impliquant la coactivité entre les travailleurs et les véhicules lourds.
« Un avis de correction a également été émis concernant une procédure de levage. Lorsque l’analyse sera complétée, l’inspectrice produira un rapport d’intervention précisant les circonstances et les causes de cet accident », précise madame Gosselin.
« Un employé de la Ville a été blessé lors de l’événement et a dû être hospitalisé. La Ville a avisé la CNESST de l’événement et collabore pleinement avec elle afin que les faits puissent être établis. Nos pensées accompagnent notre collègue et ses proches », mentionne le directeur des communications et du service aux citoyens de la Ville de Mont-Joli, Pierre Fiola.
Selon nos informations, l’accident s’est produit pendant des travaux d’excavation.
La victime aurait été percutée par une pelle mécanique, subissant de graves blessures qui ont nécessité son transport par avion vers un hôpital de Québec.

Ukraine has completed its Operation Vivaldi, aimed at protecting its fortress belt cities of Donetsk Oblast, which helped Kyiv preserve the region from Russian occupation for 12 years. Brigadier General Andrii Biletskyi, the commander of the Third Army Corps behind the operation, has reported that the fourth phase secured 101 km² of territory. Among the latest achievements is the liberation of three settlements—Zelena Dolyna, Lypove, and Kolodiazi.
The operation's main objective was to move Ukrainian troops into more advantageous defensive positions, Biletskyi said in the first days after the operation was made public. Vivaldi has now summed up the results of all four phases: Ukraine has established full control over 16 settlements, liberated 277 km² of territory, and inflicted 8,000 casualties on Russian forces.
During Operation Vivaldi, Ukrainian forces have prevented Russian troops from outflanking the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration and cutting the Kharkiv–Sloviansk highway, a key supply route for Ukraine’s forces in Donbas, Biletskyi says.
“We thwarted the offensive of the Zapad grouping and forced it to redeploy some units of the 1st Tank Army, which eased pressure on Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi,” Biletskyi announces.
Previously, the Institute for the Study of War noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin was confident that Russian forces would be able to seize the entire Donetsk Oblast by the end of 2026 — the Kremlin’s latest deadline for achieving this goal.
Ukraine’s military was on a mission to prevent this.
On 15 September 2026, Ukraine’s Third Army Corps announced Operation Vivaldi in northern Donetsk Oblast. During the first phase, Ukrainian troops cleared Russian groups from 75 km² of territory and liberated another 10 km².
The Third Army Corps said it had struck Russian supply routes and fuel infrastructure, prompting Russia to relocate its fuel and lubricant reserves to Voronezh Oblast. According to the corps, Russian forces lost around 1,500 troops, more than 12,000 drones, and hundreds of pieces of equipment.
On 20 September, the Third Army Corps reported the liberation of Shandryholove and Derylove and the establishment of full control over Drobysheve.
During the second season, Russian forces lost another 800 troops, bringing their total losses across the first two seasons to more than 3,000, according to the corps.
During the first two seasons of the operation, Ukrainian troops and attached units regained control of 125 km² of territory, including 50 km² that had been fully liberated.
The first phase of Vivaldi involved eliminating Russian groups that had infiltrated Ukrainian positions, explained the commander of a battalion in the 125th Brigade, callsign Darwin, per ArmyInform. After clearing those groups, the Defense Forces moved on to the operation’s second phase, using reconnaissance drones to detect Russian forces, he added.
For this, Ukraine used UAVs and ground robotic systems.
“The Third Army Corps was the first in the world to begin deploying ground robotic systems by air. Our heavy bombers deliver kamikaze ground robotic systems more than 10 kilometers behind enemy lines,” Biletskyi noted.
On 28 September, the Third Army Corps reported the liberation of Nove, Ridkodub, and Katerynivka and the restoration of control over Karpivka and Novomykhailivka. Ukrainian forces regained another 51 km² of territory, bringing the total area liberated since the start of the offensive to 176 km². Russian forces lost around 2,000 troops, and more than 250 were taken prisoner, the corps said in its summary of the operation’s third phase.
“The Russians were convinced that the main axis of attack was Shandryholove–Zelena Dolyna. This led it to squander its reserves in counterattacks along that very axis. The Russians slept through the actual strike, which was focused on capturing Nove,” Biletskyi said.
The need for Operation Vivaldi arose amid Russian attempts to encircle Ukraine’s fortified belt in Donetsk Oblast. Ukrainian forces conducted preparatory efforts aimed at degrading Russia’s offensive capabilities, including strikes on Russian drone operators, the Institute for the Study of War reported on 9 October.
Ukrainian counterattacks in the Lyman direction and east of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk were intended to complicate Russian efforts to seize the fortified belt in Donetsk Oblast, the report noted.
The corps advanced gradually, reclaiming small areas instead of attempting a large-scale breakthrough.
