Six members of a family have died in a fire Sunday evening in a travel trailer in rural Nova Scotia.

The RCMP say firefighters were called to Mountain Road in Millvale, N.S., Sunday evening around 6:30 p.m.

A release says when they arrived, officers discovered the bodies of a 30-year-old man, a 28-year-old woman and four children, ages three, four, eight and 11.

It will be up to the fire marshal's office to establish the cause of the fire, but police say after a preliminary investigation they do not consider the fire suspicious.

The medical examiner's office will be determining the cause of the family's deaths.

Millvale is a small community in Cumberland County near Westchester Valley, about 50 kilometres southeast of Amherst and the New Brunswick border.

G7 Allies to Release 100 Million Barrels of Oil to Curb Rising Prices

Canada and its G7 allies have agreed to release 100 million barrels of oil from emergency reserves to help ease surging global oil prices.

Canada’s average diesel price stood at around $2.63 per litre on Thursday, while prices in major cities such as Vancouver were close to $2.71 per litre. The higher costs have placed additional financial pressure on truck drivers and farmers. Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Jap

Chinese Steel to Be Used Again in $33B LNG Canada Phase 2 Project

Chinese steel will once again be used in the $33-billion LNG Canada Phase 2 project in Kitimat, British Columbia.
