The Canadian Red Cross says at least six people in New Brunswick have been displaced from their basement-level apartments after heavy rains caused flooding through parts of the province.

Dan Bedell, a spokesperson for the agency, says an adult and child from one apartment and two adults from another in a 12-unit building at 184 Spruce Street in Moncton have received aid.
