Lobster capital of the world: Shediac welcomes new lobster centre

For those who have always wanted to touch a lobster, Shediac, N.B., might be an ideal destination. 

The Homarus Centre opened its doors Sunday, offering an immersive experience into the world of the Northumberland Strait marine ecosystem.
