On today’s show, we hear from some of the participants in a housing session at the Tantramar municipal office on Saturday.

Nearly 100 people gathered throughout the afternoon to share experiences and ask about everything from property taxes to co-housing opportunities, to foreign ownership and the need for infrastructure to support affordable housing growth.  We talk with Sackville residents Ashley Legere, Artie Kenney, Jocelyn Mason, and Deb Jollimore. We also hear from New Brunswick’s new minister of responsible for housing, David Hickey, who made the trip from Saint John to Sackville on Saturday.
