Miramichi public meeting schedule

Mayor Adam Lordon told The Leader that he hasn’t heard any complaints, since Miramichi city councillors decided to hold fewer public meetings.

Last summer, council eliminated the weekly public committee meetings, and replaced that with more closed-door briefing sessions.

The next public meeting of Miramichi city council will be next Thursday, July 27 at 7 p.m.

NB rescue dog had to be put down

A young rescue dog found in Rexton starving and covered in maggots had to be put to sleep.

The golden retriever-mix was euthanized Wednesday at the Riverview Animal Hospital, as his heath continued to deteriorate.

The N.B. SPCA told The Tribune it was not investigating the case as an official report had not yet been filed with them.
