A Quebec man is facing weapons charges after RCMP officers found about 10 homemade bombs as well as firearms, ammunition and weapons at his home.

The province is taking steps to control manure use in the Hullcar Valley in Spallumcheen where high levels of nitrate in a local drinking water source, the Hullcar Aquifer, have been an ongoing concern.
