On today’s show, after a racist vandalism incident in Mount Allison’s Black Resource and Information Centre, we hear from Black Students Union president Beyoncé Gibbons about her concerns with the university’s reaction. Gibbons says students need more information about what happened, and they don’t need a ramp up in campus security. Plus we take a look at the packed agenda for Tantramar council’s last regular meeting of 2023, happening at 7pm tonight at town hall.

We believe in the importance of providing independent local journalism to Sackville and the surrounding area. Please consider supporting our local stories, reporting and interviews by becoming a monthly sustainer or by making a one-time donation.
