Coding

Grade 7 students in four francophone schools will learn coding starting on Monday. A pilot project in partnership with Moncton-based EduCode Canada includes École Écho-Jeunesse in Kedgwick, Place-des-Jeunes in Bathurst, École Le Tremplin in Tracadie and École Sainte-Anne in Fredericton. Students will code for an hour per week for four weeks.

Water Levels

The New Brunswick government says residents impacted by flooding are beginning clean-up efforts now that water levels in the St. John River basin are slowly decreasing.

River Watch says levels have dropped below flood stage in Fredericton and Maugerville — although it warns the situation can change quickly depending on the weather.
