Fundy tourism

Eight MPs, whose ridings border the Bay of Fundy, will be working together to boost tourism in the area.

Cumberland-Colchester MP Bill Casey told CBC the MPs from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have formed a caucas and will be asking citizens for help in promoting the Bay as one of North America’s seven natural wonders just behind the Grand Canyon. Casey wants to see tourism numbers double in the next five years.

Man charged in standoff

A 39 year old man was arrested after a standoff on the Acadian Peninsula.

Officers were called to a home in Neguac early yesterday morning after a man reported being cut by another man. The suspect refused to come out for about ten hours before he finally gave up.  He’ll be in court today.
