From World of Radio and Glenn Hauser; Bill Hepburn has some additional info, but due to the length, I'll put his info in a follow up message. This is copied verbatim, and any errors are entirely mine....
NAV Canada, the country's provider of air traffic control, is in the process of decommissioning all aeronautical beacons (NDB) that operate in the longwave and lower mediumwave band as well as very high frequency omnidirectional rangefinders (VOR) and, where necessary, replacing them with RNAV runway approach systems for airplanes equipped with GNSS equipment. This decommissioning is expected to take seven years.
The following will be decommissioned as of April 25, 2019 at 0901 UT:
Deer Lake (DF) NDB
Port Hawkesbury (PD) NDB
Bonaventure (YBV) NDB
Bromont (ZBM) NDB
