Saint John has re-dedicate the park at the end of Prince William Street as St. Patrick Square. Common council approved the symbolic motion last night to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and the Irish immigrants who landed in Saint John in the 18th century. The original motion was passed in 1967.

Councilor Bill Farren sported his infamous green bow tie at last nights meeting as he does every year for St. Patty's Day. A couple of other city councilors and staff also wore bits of green for the occasion.
