It's a trip to Miami this week for Tourism Minister Stuart Jamieson and an official from the Port of Saint John are off to Miami this week. They will promote the cruise ship industry and encourage travel journalism in our area.

Whether your taking part in it or not, there will be some road closures and delays for the CIBC Run for the Cure which goes today. Water Street and St. Patricks as they connect to Union and King. Douglas off of Chesley will be closed as will Douglas and Main streets. Expect delays on Chesley along Harbour Passage and the Viaduct heading northwest will be down to 1 lane - the outside lane, so keep an eye out for runners. The roads will be closed or have slow moving traffic from eleven in the morning until three in the afternoon.
