On today’s show, we hear from Emilie McBride, a Sackville resident whose efforts to install a manufactured home on her property were thwarted by a Sackville planning bylaw that requires dwellings to be a minimum of 20 feet in length and width. McBride is now waiting on a proposed change to that bylaw which is slated for a public hearing on January 27, 2025.

Plus in news briefs, Amherst police arrested a man after multiple reports of break-ins in the Queen and Albion Street neighbourhood, and the Southeast Regional Service Commission is hosting regional tourism stakeholder sessions next week, with one scheduled in Sackville on November 21.
