Rescuers wrapped 88-year-old Rebecca LaBillois in a blanket for protection against a whipping wind and carried the elder out of her Eel River Bar First Nation home in northern New Brunswick on Monday afternoon, just as her front step was washed away in a storm surge.

GMRC is pleased to release, "A review of the health, habitat, and management of the Atlantic salmon on the Restigouche River".

This salmon technical report, developed by GMRC, examines Mi'gmaw perspectives in relation to natural resource management, and also seeks to address current management issues through the combination of Mi'gmaw ecological knowledge and western science. Also included in the report are 13 general recommendations to further the sustainable management of the salmon.
