Your first step is to contact your municipality. Some municipalities may have sand and/or bags available for their residents. Some may provide sand, but not bags.
NBMCA does not supply or provide sandbags; our role is natural hazard management including flood monitoring and forecasting.
The Canadian Armed Forces have a helpful video available on You Tube on how to build a sandbag wall.
