Remembering Wallie Sears; and changes coming this year for waste collection

On today’s show, we listen in as Mayor Andrew Black and Councillor Allison Butcher remember the late Wallie Sears, beloved Sackville journalist. And we break down an upcoming decision of Tantramar council regarding a plan to have the South East Regional Service Commission take over the collection of garbage and compost in Tantramar, as responsibility for recycling pick up shifts to a packaging industry group.

Plus in briefs, summer events planning has started with council asked to consider road closures for Sappyfest and the Friday Night Cruise; and Mount Allison University is sending condolences over the death of a 22-year old student last week.
