N.B. officials urge caution as some residents return to flood-damaged homes
FREDERICTON — After weeks of flooding, some New Brunswickers returned to their homes over the weekend as flood waters continued to recede.
Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan tweeted photos of Canadian military personnel helping New Brunswick residents with relief efforts, noting the Canadian Forces called in to help were heading home, too.
“After two weeks of outstanding service in the NB flood relief efforts, our (at) CanadianForces are headed home,” Sajjan wrote on Twitter Saturday.
“Please join me in thanking all of our women and men in uniform who spent countless hours building sandbags and helping to keep residents and communities safe.”
