Behind the scenes with Sackville’s Christmas Cheer program

On today’s show, we stop in at the St. Paul’s Anglican church hall this past Saturday, as volunteers with the Tantramar Community Association carefully select gifts for families as part of the Sackville Christmas Cheer program.

Plus in news briefs: boiler troubles at the Sackville Memorial Hospital, and an apology from Mount Allison’s administration to the school’s Black community.

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.
