Residents share security and privacy concerns over new health centre at Dorchester prison

On today’s show, we listen in to a public meeting in Dorchester as Correctional Services of Canada announces the location of a new Health Centre of Excellence planned for the Dorchester Penitentiary. About 25 residents showed up Thursday evening to ask questions about the security of the new facility, the impact it could have on local services like water and sewer, and the potential for the project to incorporate improvements to local roads.

Plus in briefs, a policy and a bylaw that Tantramar council rejected last week are back on the agenda for Monday’s committee of the whole meeting, a new bank of EV chargers is coming to the Amherst Canadian Tire, and Sackville’s longtime Town Crier, David Fullerton, has died.
