Westcock residents voice concerns over continued blasting, and lack of political support from new municipality

On today’s show, we listen in to the final session of Tantramar’s Municipal Roadshow series, held in St Ann’s Church in Westcock on Wednesday evening. About 25 residents gathered, and the conversation focussed on concerns over increased taxes in the area, and a perceived lack of support from Tantramar council over the impacts of blasting in the area, taking place at quarries very close to private homes.

Plus in news briefs, Correctional Services Canada is expected to announce the site for its new Health Centre of Excellence in a public information meeting tonight in Dorchester, schools will be dismissed early today due to the heat wave, and local writer Patrick Allaby launches his new book tonight at Struts.
