Two New Brunswick communities are poised to surpass flood stage this week, according to New Brunswick's Emergency Measures Organization. Saint-Hilaire, a small village southwest of Edmundston, will surpass its flood stage of 145.5 metres on Wednesday. Gagetown will surpass its flood stage of 4.0 metres Thursday, reaching 4.1 metres. Over the weekend, EMO said three communities were forecast to reach or surpass flood stage by Wednesday, including the province's capital. How high will the St. John River rise this spring, and does the Mactaquac Dam have anything to do with it?
