Want The Kids To Do Some Reading This Summer?

Want to get the kids reading this summer?

Libraries will be launching their summer reading clubs in just a few days.... they run from June until August. This year's theme for the free programs is "Dive In!"....encouraging reading about all things water-related and the connections they have to New Brunswick waterways.

Kids can learn about the highest tides in the world, the people who make their living off the water, or the creatures that live in our oceans.

Each year, about 10,000 young people in the program read more than 200,000 books.

You can get more information at your local library, including the St. Croix Public Library in St. Stephen, or Bookmobile.

BREAKING: Workers Sent To Hospital After Exposure To Hydrogen Sulfide

Around 8:30 this morning, fire crews responded to an EMS call at Irving Paper on Bayside Drive.

3-4 people were sent to the hospital as a precaution after accidentally inhaling hydrogen sulfide.

Hydrogen sulfide is a dangerous gas with a rotten-egg odour that is generated as a by-product in many industrial processes.

Fire crews and WorkSafe NB are on the scene ventilating the area and checking out the processes to make sure it's safe. The condition of the workers isn't thought to be serious at this point.
