Plane crashes in Canada

Canadian authorities say a plane en route from Winnipeg to the remote Arctic territory of Nunavut has crashed with nine people on board.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corp., citing a Nunavut government official, reports that the Perimeter Aviation plane aborted a landing and crashed less than a kilometre from the end of a runway in the community of Sanikiluaq. The CBC says the plane was carrying seven passengers and two crew and went down at about 6 p.m. eastern time. Officials indicated there were survivors.
