Canadian Red Cross closure in the Acadian Peninsula

This afternoon at 5, the Canadian Red Cross will close a temporary office set up three weeks ago at the Inkerman Community Centre on the Acadian Peninsula to aid those most severely impacted financially by the January 24th ice storm and power outages.

People still awaiting money by a prepaid credit card will be directed to their nearest Red Cross office once their card is available.

In most cases, this will be the office at 613-5 Trout River Road in Tracadie during normal business hours.

A toonie truck for Miramichi Police

Miramichi Police are buying an armoured truck for its fleet for the cost of 2 dollars.

The 23 year old truck is being sold by a private security firm.

This will allow police officers safety if they get a call to a hot zone, and to get citizens out of said zone.
