Miramichi Cardinals honours

The Miramichi Cardinals will be honouring the late Gary Wood and Gary Dunnett tonight before their ballgame against the Dalhousie Contendo Dodgers.

Both men were very athletic, and served as coaches and volunteers.

Wood passed away at the age of 65 last December, and Dunnett died in February.

Billions from the taxpayers for child care

Ottawa and almost all of the provinces signed a deal aimed at making child care more accessible, a plan that will ding taxpayers $7.5 billion over the next decade.

The Trudeau liberals will require provinces and territories to focus on regulated child-care operations serving children under the age of six and families with greater needs, including families that are low-income, Indigenous, single-parent, living in underserved communities or with children with disabilities.
