A group of residents called Friends of Heritage will be presenting to Tantramar council at their meeting on Monday September 9, in hopes of convincing councillors that the town’s cultural and built heritage should figure into its new five year strategic plan.
The former town of Sackville scrapped its heritage bylaw in 2018, and nothing has been proposed to replace it since.
Longtime Sackville resident Meredith Fisher is helping spread the word about Monday’s presentation in hopes that residents will fill the gallery as a show of support for maintaining and protecting local heritage buildings and streetscapes.
“We’re encouraging people to come and support this,” Fisher told CHMA, “this effort to get heritage going again, or at least some kind of a profile or priority again in the town.”
