The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has confirmed a case of bird flu at a poultry flock in southern Ontario
H-5-N-I is commonly known as bird flu and is a highly pathogenic avian influenza. It is highly contagious and can be devastating for chicken farmers when it enters a flock.

The CFIA did not disclose the exact location of the farm, but it is in the Wellington County area, just north of Kitchener.
