A spokesperson from Canada's Department of National Defence has insisted that hikers at a popular nature reserve are safe despite the existence of unexploded munitions in the area – as long as they stick to designated trails.
According to the CBC, newly declassified documents this week confirm the existence of unexploded bombs from the Second World War in the Mer Bleue bog nature reserve in Ottawa. However, Andrée-Anne Poulin says in a statement that the risk to hikers remains low.
