In a statement, the organizer said:
“Given the situation regarding our indigenous communities a quiet day of reflection may be the best way for our community to spend the holiday.”

Half of the Al Khlief family came to Fredericton three years ago.

This after years of paperwork and patience. It was a group from

Hey NB, how do you feel about this? Let me know what you think.
Considering the high rates of COVID cases and hospitalizations in provinces such as Alberta, and given the severity of the Delta variant, the Premier must require travelers who have chosen not to be vaccinated to isolate upon arrival in NB.
