Codiac RCMP and representatives from WorkSafeNB are on scene at the Faubourg du Mascaret seniors complex.
The cause of the collapse is under investigation.
Police were asking people to avoid the area Tuesday morning, but they say the roads have since reopened, and the residents can “resume normal activities.”
