The Chaplain at Mount Allison University has announced he’s leaving to take a new job in Ontario.

John Perkin has been hired as Pastor at First Baptist Church in Ottawa. After twenty-seven years at Mount Allison, Perkin says he’ll miss counselling students and teaching religious studies courses. He says he’ll also miss the unique Mt. A chapel and his hobby feeding the pheasants in Middle Sackville.

Perkin made his comments during a telephone interview with CHMA Reporter, Bruce Wark:

We believe in the importance of providing independent local journalism to Sackville and the surrounding area. Please consider supporting our local stories, reporting and interviews by becoming a monthly sustainer or by making a one-time donation.
