Impaired Driving Day

The R-C-M-P in New Brunswick will be pulling over drivers across the province today as part of National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day.

Staff Sergeant Gilles Blinn says alcohol or drugs have been a factor in 20 of the 55 fatal crashes this year on R-C-M-P-patrolled roads in New Brunswick.

Sixty people have died in those crashes.

And on the weekend of November 12th and 13th — no less than seven people were arrested for impaired driving.

Boil Order

A boil water order has been issued for residents east of the Reversing Falls Bridge.

The heavy rains and high winds have stirred up mthe water supply causing turbidity. So about 45,000 users on the east side as well as north and south ends are advised to0 boil water for consumption. Residents of the Harbourview subdivision are not affected because they have their own system.
