Cavendish Beach Music Festival fans beware

For people planning to head across the Confederation Bridge for the Cavendish Beach Music Festival next month…be warned. There are fake tickets floating around the internet.

RCMP are warning that some ticket buyers are receiving electronic tickets that have already been issued multiple times. They are reminding consumers to use all possible means to ensure your purchase is legitimate and avoid buying items second hand. Often you send your money…but you don’t get any tickets in return…or tickets purchased and sent electronically may not be valid.

Pay equity extended to more civil servants

The Gallant Government is extending equal pay provisions to three more groups of civil servants.

It’ll cost $8.4 million over 10 years to pay for pay equity for professional school support workers, specialized health-care workers and medical science professionals.

The Pay Equity Coalition welcomes the move calling it a step forward. However it points out the equity negotiation process hasn’t yet begun for large groups, like teachers, NB power or Crown corporations.
