Council hears about infrastructure challenges with Tantramar art, culture and nature groups

On today’s show, at a special budget meeting last night, Tantramar council heard about the challenges of infrastructure maintenance for Tantramar’s non-profit centres, including museums, galleries and nature centres. We listen in to some of the presentations and funding requests.

Council also got the update on the new Pickard Quarry trail in Sackville from the Tantramar Outdoor Club’s Richard Elliot, and the progress of Dorchester’s Moving Forward Coop in its development of a trail system surrounding Dorchester. Both groups are asking the municipality for funding in 2025.

Plus in briefs, the writ for a 2024 provincial election on October 21 will be issued today, marking the official beginning of the campaign. And we stop in to Chirps Bar in Sackville, to hear about their new name and rebranding.
