Sackville gets noticed for its walkability among Maritime small towns

On today’s show, we revisit a conversation with Moncton resident Charles MacDougall, whose curiosity about walkability in small towns prompted him to crunch the numbers from the 2021 Canadian long form census, and come up with a list of seven small towns in the Maritimes where more than 15% of residents mainly walk or bike to work. Sackville is on the list, along with Annapolis Royal, Saint-Andrews, Lunenburg, Antigonish, Pugwash, and Wolfville.

Plus in briefs, Mount Allison is pushing back the timeline for the Ralph Pickard Bell library project, and Amlamgog First Nation is celebrating National Indigenous Peoples’ Day with a launch event at its Medicine Trail.
