How $26k in scholarships grew from a $2500 commitment from MLA Megan Mitton

On today’s show, we take a look at how Memramcook-Tantramar MLA Megan Mitton put up some of her own money to help set up medical education scholarships to help bring new doctors and nurse practitioners to the region. This fall, about $26,000 in scholarship funding is available to students willing to come practice in Tantramar and Strait Shores after they graduate.

Plus, the Vogue Cinema is headed for tax sale in January 2025, unless owner Jeff Coates can pay off nearly $70,000 in back taxes owed to the provincial government.
