New Public Parking Area Next to Wetland Trail

Good news for users of Salisbury’s Wetland Trail south of MacDonald/Braemar. There is now adjacent parking available thanks to an arrangement reached between the Village of Salisbury and a private landowner. As seen in the attached picture, parking is permitted in the GREEN area on the west side at the bottom of the access lane. And once again, the lane itself is private property – do not park on the lane or on the property to the east of the lane at the bottom. PARKING IS PERMITTED IN THE GREEN AREA AS SHOWN ON THE PHOTO BELOW. The Village of Salisbury thanks you for your cooperation.

COVID-19: New Brunswick Goes Orange as Cases Spike (Jan. 5, 2021)

With 27 more cases announced by NB Public Health on Tuesday, Jan. 5th, the entire province is being downgraded to the more restrictive "Orange" stage of New Brunswick's coronavirus recovery plan. This goes into effect at 12:00am, Jan. 6th. The move comes as the province experienced a doubling of its number of cases in less than six days, bringing the number of active cases to 80 and resulting in some strong words from Premier Blaine Higgs:
“In spite of aggressive messaging prior to and during the holiday season, we knew that some would selfishly ignore the rules. There is a risk that our health-care system could be faced with hundreds of new cases each day and would quickly be overwhelmed. We must act swiftly and decisively to ensure that does not happen.”
The many rules under Orange include a single household bubble and mandatory facemasks in both indoor and outdoor public spaces.

Advisory for Salisbury Highland Park Wetland Trail users:

On Friday, December 18^th, the trail will be used by a locally based dog-sled team operator (NB Urban Mushing) for a private education program. Village administration has been assured that said use will be low-speed. This, by no means, prohibits the use of the trail by regular users during this time. The dog team will be present between the hours of approximately 9:30am and 1:30pm.

COVID-19: NB moves Zones 1 and 3 to Yellow (Dec. 7, 2020)

An early Christmas present for Zones 1 and 3 from New Brunswick Public Health was announced on Sunday. Both the Moncton and Fredericton regions have been returned to the less-restrictive Yellow phase of the province's Coronavirus recovery plan (read the full press release here). Reasons for the change in the two regions include a declining case load and high levels of public adherence to restrictions aimed at limiting the spread of COVID-19. Meantime, the Saint John region (Zone 2) remains at the more strict Orange phase due to more cases in that region and a greater risk of outbreaks for the time being. There were two new cases of COVID-19 reported in New Brunswick on Dec. 7th -- one each in zones 3 and 4 (Edmundston region). There are currently 81 active cases in the province, three of which require hospitalization, two in intensive care. Since the global pandemic began, there have been 536 cases in New Brunswick, 448 recoveries, and seven deaths. To date, 133,868 tests have been conducted.
