No enforcement until Sunday shopping bylaw snafu can be rectified, says CAO

On today’s show, Tantramar CAO Jennifer Borne has said that staff will not be enforcing the Days of Rest Act this Sunday in Sackville, despite the repeal of a bylaw on Tuesday that unintentionally brought  back restrictions on Sunday shopping to the former town.  We look back into how the repeal of the bylaw made it to the council table, and why the Retail Council of Canada wants control on operating hours in the hands of business owners.

Plus in news briefs, the annual watermain flushing program is back on Monday, and the municipality puts out a call for artists interested in practicing in the Sackville Waterfowl Park this summer.
