The ice on the Mackenzie River started breaking near the Merv Hardie ferry crossing Sunday, although the ferry isn't in just yet. According to Earl Blacklock, a spokesperson for the Department of Transportation, ice remains further down near Great Slave Lake but based upon historical experience, the ferry is usually back in operation one month after the ice road is out. Blacklock said the road closed April 12 this year, so it is possible to have the ferry running by next week. - Alix McNaught Newfoundlanders meet The Newfoundland and Labrador society is holding a preliminary meeting today in the boardroom of the Multiplex at 7 p.m. The meeting entails a discussion of the mission of the society, development of membership and possible upcoming events.
