At meeting tonight, residents can weigh in on New Brunswick’s anti-poverty strategy

A review of New Brunswick’s strategy to battle poverty is underway, and the Southeast Regional Service Commission is hosting a series of public meetings to gather input from New Brunswickers.  The first meeting happens tonight at the Church by the Lake in Middle Sackville.  On today’s show, we hear from the commission’s Marc André Chiasson and Moving Forward Together Cooperative volunteer Wendy Keats about why residents should consider adding their two cents to the province’s Overcoming Poverty Together plan.

Plus in news briefs, the Sackville Ceasefire Now Coalition is planning a procession to Sackville Town Hall tonight in time for Tantramar council’s regular monthly meeting at 7pm, and the former owner of the Sackville Tribune-Post is in danger of bankruptcy after filing for creditor protection.
