Council considers expanding subsidy program to high school hockey

On today’s show, we listen in to the initial discussion around the idea of expanding a rink fee subsidy program to include Tantramar’s two high school teams. Staff say the program is aimed at increasing enrollment in high-cost sports, and so are recommending against including the competitive high school teams. But most councillors expressed an interest in spending the estimated $11,000 to expand the program.

Plus: murder charges have been dropped against Dylan Murphy, and changed to manslaughter against Tyler Murphy, in the stabbing death of Shawn Mitton on March 16. And for the first time, Mount A’s screen studies program is debuting a student film production, The Yellow Wallpaper, next week.
