Miramichi pot public consultation meeting on Thursday

The Select Committee on Cannabis chair liberal MLA BenoƮt Bourque says that legalized marijuana would at first be sold in 20 to 25 stores across New Brunswick.

That would happen if a crown corporation retail model to sell pot goes ahead as proposed.

A public consultation will take place in Miramichi this Thursday at 9am at the Rodd on Water Street.

Bathurst-area fishing accident report

The Transportation Safety Board will release the results this week of its investigation into the fatal capsizing of a fishing vessel off New Brunswick last year.

Two fishermen died and another man was taken to hospital after the June 2016 incident off the Miller Brook wharf, about 10 kilometres from downtown Bathurst.
