Canada’s armed forces lent a hand this weekend as New Brunswick cleaned up in the wake of record-setting floodwaters across the province.
Approximately 60 members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) arrived in the flood zone over the weekend to assess the floods, prioritize future relief work and repairs to infrastructure and help plan and coordinate relief efforts as part of Operation LENTUS.

The cleanup and repair efforts are underway as water levels have been dropping steadily in the flood-stricken province.
