Jail time for child porn

A 30 year old Saint-Edouard-de-Kent man has pleaded guilty to possession of child porn and breaching conditions of his release.

Marcel Savoie was charged last October after the province’s Child Exploitation Unit searched his home. He’s been sentenced to six months in jail. Then he’ll be on probation for two years after his release and is on the National Sex Offender Registry for life.

Millions to renovate major government office building

Premier Brian Gallant says the building housing most government offices in Fredericton will undergo major renovations.

The Centennial Building will undergo an estimated $76 million in work and a new courthouse will be built at the site starting later this year.

The King Street facade will be restored while the back wing will be replaced with the courthouse. The work should be done by 2021.
