Sackville’s walkability gets noticed

On today’s show, we talk 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Plus in news briefs: Drug charges are withdrawn against Carrie Ann Sears, while Colt Leblanc awaits sentencing on Monday. And Mountie football grad Daniel Bell has been drafted to the CFL.
