Notes:
- If you have been using your tap water for things like washing dishes and laundry, no further action is necessary because you have been bringing fresh water into your plumbing system.
- If you have been away or not using the tap water, run your water for 15 minutes to flush your plumbing.
- If you live on Cedar Street, a boil order remains in place for the section north of Kendra. Two days of good test results are required before the boil water ends. *So maybe some time today (Fri Dec 12th.) To be continued. (via moncton.ca)

New Brunswick's new teacher retention plan is being criticized by the Teachers' Association for failing to address the critical issue of classroom safety (https://www.cbc.ca/lite/story/9.7012045). While the government's strategy aims to combat teacher shortages, the association says omitting measures to deal with escalating student behaviors is a major oversight.
Conservative MP Michael Ma has announced he is crossing the floor to join the governing federal Liberals under Prime Minister Mark Carney (Ex-Conservative MP Michael Ma crosses floor to join Carney Liberals - National | Globalnews.ca).
