Community Clean Up

Clean Up

The Town of Roddickton-Bide Arm is asking everyone to do their part to help clean up common areas in our community. Please take sometime to clean up ditches and the roadside in front of your property.

Vehicle Wrecks

A number of complaints have been received from residents concerning vehicle wrecks. Vehicle wrecks are to be removed from town property and wrecks on personal property should be cleaned up by the owners immediately.

Tourist season is upon us and we want to make a good first impression. Tourists, including a bus tour on June 22, will be visiting.

In addition, Roddickton-Bide Arm has entered the Tidy Town Contest which will bring with it recognition for our community. Let us show them the pride we have in our Town. Please help beautify our Community.

Fallen RCMP Officiers

With the arrest being made in the Moncton shooting, the focus now falls to the RCMP officers whos lives have been taken and those wounded. The Town of Roddickton-Bide Arm will join with other communities, in Newfoundland and Labrador, and fly our flags at half mast to honour the fallen Heros in New Brunswick. We are all praying for the wounded RCMP Officers, RCMP Officers everywhere, families and healing for all.

Congratulations Cloud River Academy Grads!

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2014!

The future lies before you
Like a field of driven snow,
Be careful how you tread it,
For every step will show.
