New fire dispatching deal with Codiac police puts an end to decades long ‘handshake’ agreement with hospital

On today’s show, emergency fire dispatching in Tantramar has been handled by admin staff at the Sackville hospital for decades, but will now move over to the Codiac Regional Policing Authority, at an increased cost of over $50,000. We listen in to the special council meeting where the decision was made.

Plus, the road closure on Route 106 is now expected to continue all summer; the first court decision on who should pay to protect the Chignecto Isthmus won’t come until March 2025; and Dr. Tyson MacCormack will receive Mount Allison’s Paul Paré Medal of Excellence for 2024.
