Five communities will host public meetings to share concerns about the January Ice Storm that crippled parts of the province for 10 days.
The 90 minute public meetings will be held April 3rd to 6th in Tracadie, Bas-Caraquet, Lameque, Miramichi and Richibucto.
The meetings are part of the province’s review of the response to the ice storm which at it’s height knocked out power to 130-thousand-people.
A final report with recommendations is expected in July.
A judge has thrown out a manslaughter case against two New Brunswick police officers in the shooting death of a businessman at the Bathurst train station.
Constables Patrick Bulger and Mathieu Boudreau wept and there was applause in the courtroom following the judge’s ruling.
The officers were each charged with manslaughter with a weapon, two counts of assault with a weapon and two counts of unlawfully pointing a firearm in the 2015 death of 51-year-old Michel Vienneau.
Judge Anne Dugas-Horsman ruled that the prosecution failed to make its case after a preliminary hearing.
