Tantramar council expands rink subsidy to high school hockey; and approves seasonal ice cream and cafe leases

On today’s show, we look at some of the decisions made at Tuesday’s Tantramar council meeting, including the expansion of a rink fee subsidy program that will see roughly $11,000 in discounted fees extended to Tantramar Regional High School’s two hockey teams. Council also approved two lease agreements for local businesses. The Ice Cream Coop will locate in the Bill Johnstone Memorial Park for the summer season, and market cafe operators Alice Cotton and Peter Stephenson will open up a seasonal cafe in the Tantramar Visitor Information Centre.

Plus in briefs, a Sackville man is coordinating the collection of eclipse glasses for re-use, with a drop off location at Tidewater Books this week. And an inquest into the death of Darrell Mesheau has concluded with a jury recommending changes to emergency department resources and operations.
