Flood threat diminishing

Officials say the threat of spring flooding in the province contiunues to abate.

EMO says ice cover on the St. John River is gone so the risk of ice jams is over. The river is above flood stage in the Jemseg area but not high enough to cover roads or threaten homes. The river should be below flood stage in the Fredericton area by Friday.

Trial of RCMP delayed

There’s been a one week delay in the trial of the RCMP over the shootings in June 2014 that killed three Moncton Mounties.

The force was charged under the Labour Code with four counts, including a lack of preparation regarding weapons and training.

The trial was supposed to start yesterday but was delayed until next Monday because of a scheduling conflict.
