NB Liquor To Help New Brunswick Rivers

Local rivers will soon be getting a big boost from NB Liquor.

The corporation has launched an in-store initiative to donate some of the proceeds from 40 different brands to the Atlantic Salmon Conservation Foundation.

Executive director Stephen Chase tells Tide News they're excited about the partnership. He says this is a great new partnership that will help community groups who are working to protect New Brunswick rivers.


NB Liquor estimates the month-long campaign will raise $50,000 or more to be distributed among various community groups.

Bucket Sit Goes Up Next Week

It's a bird, it's a plane, no - it's a firefighter.


The St. Stephen Fire Department announcing the 8th Annual Bucket Sit next weekend at the Atlantic Superstore.

The fundraiser sees local firefighter Merton Lewis sitting in the bucket of a bucket truck, 50 feet in the air, for 50 hours.

Dwayne Richards from the department says they have finally raised enough money from past bucket sits, to buy specialized rescue equipment, however, they will continue the fundraiser as a way to keep up with the demands of the ever-changing rescue equipment.

Lewis hits the skies next Thursday ( Sept 6th ) at 4pm until Saturday ( Sept 8th ) at 6pm.
