The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's teams in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are set to return to action this week, while the league's three teams in New Brunswick will continue to sit out.

Marco Polo Land in Cavendish, P.E.I., has been named large campground of the year by a national camping and RV council after adapting to a season disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

There have been no reported cases of influenza on P.E.I. this season, as well as fewer cases of coughs and colds, which the Chief Public Health Office credits to "unintended impacts" of pandemic restrictions.

The total number of positive COVID-19 cases reported on P.E.I. remains 110, with seven still active. There have been no deaths or hospitalizations.

New Brunswick reported 27 new cases Monday, bringing its number of active cases to 348.
