Good morning everyone! Today in 1976, the Canadian government announced it was extending its 12-nautical-mile coastal fishing zone to 200 miles. Canada made the change in part because fish stocks were being depleted by new technologies aboard modern fishing vessels, including fish-finding sonar and freezing facilities which allowed the ships to stay at sea longer. Also today in 1980, hockey great and Floral, Sask., native Gordie Howe announced his retirement from the Hartford Whalers at age 52 and in 1988, a week-long, record-breaking heat wave began in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Enjoy the day.
