Officers with the Canada Border Services Agency are interviewing and examining the health of seven stowaways found aboard a vessel in Halifax.
Jennifer Morrison, a spokeswoman for the agency, says the males were discovered Thursday night after a search of the vessel at the Ceres container terminal. Morrison would not disclose the nationality of the stowaways, nor say whether they are seeking refugee status.
She says the agency’s foremost priority is ensuring the safety and security of the public.
