Shining a light on alcohol & minors.

The Province's Crimestoppers program is working with NB Liquor to shine a light on the problem of giving alcohol to minors.

Under the Liquor Control Act, the fine for a first offence is $292.50 and repeat offenders can be fined over $5,000.
Crime Stoppers will pay up to $2,000 for information that leads to the arrest of a person supplying alcohol to anyone under 19.

For more info, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
 

Liberal Leader Shawn Graham Promises...

Liberal Leader Shawn Graham says he would complete the restoration of the Petitcodiac River and work towards the completion of the Fundy Trail if he wins next month's election.

Graham says he would promote ecotourism and the province's clean environment to help grow the economy over the next four years.

In April, Graham's government began restoring the Petitcodiac River when it opened its causeway gates between Moncton and Riverview.

Built in 1968, the causeway caused the river below the structure to become almost completely plugged over the years with silt, reducing the famous tidal bore to a muddy ripple.
