Honours for a local snowmobiler

Vern Seeley of Wards Creek is now in the New Brunswick Federation of Snowmobile Club’s wall of fame.

He got the nod for being a behind-the-scenes promoter of snowmobiling in the province.

He is a founder of his home club, the Fundy Trail Riders; and served as president.

Storm fatality

The storm to the west of us caused a deadly multi-vehicle crash on the 401 east of Toronto.

At least one person was killed and 28 injured in the chain reaction crash involving 30 vehicles near Landsdowne.  One of them was a tanker truck carrying hazardous materials, which prompted decontamination treatment for 13 first responders.
