Quebec wildlife authorities say the first three cases of bird flu in the province have been identified among wild birds.

The province’s Wildlife Department said Monday the H5N1 strain of avian influenza was confirmed during a surveillance operation in southwestern Quebec.

The strain was detected in a Canada goose in Granby, Que., east of Montreal, and in two snow geese in the Montérégie region, located south of Montreal.

Quebec authorities say the arrival of the flu was expected as several cases had been identified in both wild and farmed birds in Canada since December 2021, including in the Maritime provinces, Ontario and British Columbia.
