Local clothing drives

Gently used clothing is being sought by the Tide Head School.

They are taking part in the New Brunswick Association for Community Living clothing drive.

In addition, Jacquet River School’s Spring Cleaning with Meaning Clothing Drive is underway for the same organization.

Donations can be made at both schools up to April 28th between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. from Monday to Friday.

Passenger rights

Transport Minister Marc Garneau has repeated that airline passenger rights legislation is coming.

This comes after the latest passenger overbooking bumping story which involved a 10 year old PEI boy being bumped from a vacation flight with his family.

Garneau didn’t comment on any specifics in the pending bill, only that it’ll be fair for passengers and practical for airlines.
