Quebec police say the military has recovered an unexploded shell along the banks of the St. Lawrence River near Trois-Rivières, Que.
Police, who were called to the town of Nicolet on Friday to form a security perimeter, have confirmed that soldiers recovered the object, which was deemed harmless.
The municipality says in a social media post that the Canadian Armed Forces would transport the shell to another location and destroy it.
