Hey there, time traveller!

FREDERICTON – New Brunswick River Watch officials say some areas around the lower Saint John River are expected to see a decrease in water levels over the weekend.
A news release from the Emergency Measures Organization says water levels are expected to see a dip in Fredericton and Maugerville, but will remain high in other southern communities in the coming days.
It asks people to avoid banks of waterways as they remain dangerous all along the Saint John River.
Officials say people should avoid boating, kayaking or other water activities at this time of year as currents are strong and carry debris.
The release says there have been no homes or buildings affected by floods so far.
Water levels remain above flood stage in Fredericton, Gagetown, Jemseg and Maugerville, and are expected to rise but not reach flood stage in other southern communities such as Grand Lake, Sheffield-Lakeville Corner, Oak Point, Hampton, and Quispamsis-Saint John.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 21, 2023.
