Public Advisory: Residents Cautioned to Stay Off Forest Access Roads

The Provincial Government is asking the general public to stay off forest access roads that have been damaged due to flooding until an assessment and necessary repairs have been undertaken. Residents in cabins in the affected areas are advised to stay safely inside until the roads are restored.

Affected forest access roads include Mint Brook Road, North West Gander Road, and Jumpers Brook Road. In addition, other forest access roads in these areas may be affected to a lesser degree.
