The province urges New Brunswickers under 40 to get fully vaccinated, and fully vaccinated fast, since they have the lowest rate of full vaccination. Less than 60 per cent of New Brunswickers between the ages of 12 and 39 have two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.

The Town of Sackville has hired new contractors to finish the asphalt patching on town roads after complaints and concerns over the quality of work done by the original hired company.

The town’s announcement on social media Tuesday says the change in contractors will come at no additional cost to the Town.
