On today’s show: Nearly five years after the first Sackville community climate forum, the municipality’s advisory committee on climate change is hosting another public session designed to spur action on adapting to and mitigating impacts of the changing climate. We talk with committee member Adam Cheeseman about why he thinks you should go to the Community Climate Action Workshop happening this Saturday (12:30pm to 4pm at the Sackville Legion) to help “ignite action to tackle the climate crisis.”

In other local news, the Heron’s Watch sculpture at Bridge and Weldon in downtown Sackville has been vandalized for the second time in two years. Images of the damaged sculpture posted on social media have prompted calls for camera surveillance of the area, including from Tantramar councillor Michael Tower.

In briefs, Nova Scotian’s have re-elected Tim Houston’s PC government to a second term, and independant MLA for Cumberland North, Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin has also kept her seat in the province’s legislature. And Elections NB is warning voters in Strait Shores that they may not receive their voters cards in the mail before a by-election slated for December 9, due to the Canada Post strike.
