History

60th anniversary of the Canadian flag

60 Years of Maple Red and White

On February fifteenth, the winds did sing,
A symbol unfurled, the proud maple wing.
Sixty years have passed since that day so bright,
When Canada’s flag took its place in the light.

Red and white, with the maple so bold,
A story of unity, of dreams untold.
From coast to coast, from sea to shining sea,
It waves for all, for you and me.

Sixty years of history, of hope, of pride,
A symbol that stands, strong as the tide.
Through winters cold and summers warm,
The flag flies high, in every storm.

So here’s to the flag, to the love we share,
To the land we cherish, beyond compare.
Happy Flag Day, Canada, in red and white,
Sixty years of glory, a beacon of light.

Winter Weather Returns to New Brunswick: Sunday Evening Alert

Environment Canada is warning of another round of winter weather hitting New Brunswick this Sunday evening. A wintry mix of snow, sleet, and possible freezing rain will affect the region, particularly along the Bay of Fundy.

Expect significant snow accumulation, with up to 30 centimeters possible in some areas. Drivers should prepare for icy roads, snow-covered highways, and reduced visibility as conditions worsen overnight. Freezing rain could further complicate travel, especially near the coast, where fluctuating temperatures are expected.

Stay tuned to local weather updates and be extra cautious if you’re heading out, especially on untreated roads. Winter isn’t over yet—stay safe and stay warm!
