Welcome to episode three of CHMA Talks.

This week, Erica Butler visits Paul Bogaard, Kathy Bouska and Karen Valanne of the Tantramar Heritage Trust for a wide-ranging conversation on the history and significance of the HMCS Sackville, and the continued work of the Heritage Trust in documenting, preserving, and sharing local history in the Tantramar region.

Items from the HMCS Sackville donated to the Town of Sackville, and recently transferred to the care of the Tantramar Heritage Trust.

The Tantramar Heritage Trust is currently holding an online auction as part of its annual fundraising work.

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.
