Bonnie Swift is an environmental engineer who worked for years in Alberta, moving east to Sackville in 2010 and serving as the town of Sackville business development officer for two years.

Swift describes herself as a “small town girl” from Dorchester, and says she’s running for mayor of the new municipality of Tantramar after encouragement from friends.

Swift became active in Sackville politics this past year, advocating for reconsideration and public consultation of a zoning change that made way for the AIL pipe plant now under construction on Walker Road.

CHMA’s David Gordon Koch has interviewed all three mayoral candidates for Tantramar ahead of the municipal elections scheduled for Nov. 28. Listen to his interview with Bonnie Swift here:
