Two birds have clipped the timeline for Acadia University’s new nursing building. CBC reports that the university halted the scheduled demolition of the University Club after discovering chimney swifts—an at-risk species known for their aerial acrobatics—nesting in the University Club’s chimney. After a 90-day review, Environment and Climate Change Canada approved a permit to destroy the chimney, allowing it to be capped to protect the birds ahead of demolition. Demolition is now set for mid-June and the construction of the new building is expected to begin on the site in September.
