Beachgoers in western New Brunswick this summer will once again have access to a public beach that was closed by provincial budget cuts.
The beach at North Lake Provincial Park will reopen Monday under an agreement between the Tourism Department and Wotstak First Nation, also known as Woodstock First Nation.
“When I heard the news about North Lake, I quickly expressed interest to the tourism minister, as community members use the beach for family outings and enjoyment,” Wotstak First Nation Chief Tim Paul said in a news release issued by the province.
“We have a team of summer students who are eager to be a part of this opportunity.”
CBC News was unable to speak to Paul or officials from the First Nation on Wednesday afternoon.
