Sabine Dietz was first elected to Sackville town council in May 2021, about six months before the province announced it would be dissolving Sackville and creating a new, much larger town of Tantramar.

Dietz is known for asking questions during council meetings, and for her vocal opposition to the process of forced amalgamation. In her last campaign, Dietz ran as a climate change candidate, but this time she says her experience on council has taught her that she can’t be a single issue representative, and she says a big part of her job if elected will be listening to residents across Ward 4 communities, to make sure she understands their concerns.

CHMA sat down to talk with Dietz outside in the still balmy weather on November 4, 2022:

CHMA has offered to interview all candidates in all wards for the upcoming Tantramar Election. Dietz’s sole opponent in Ward 4, Matt Estabrooks, declined our request. Estabrooks explained that he has “decided to take an independent approach to getting [his] platform out this election, via social media as well as good old face to face conversation.”
