On today's Tantramar Report:

The Levee on the Lake took home an ECMA on Saturday night, winning Event of the Year.  The award-winning festival will take place again this summer with some changes. The fest will take place over one weekend from Aug.19-22, at Lillas Fawcett Park in conjunction with the Sackville Triathlon.

Riverview High School is closed today and a 16-year-old boy has been arrested after what school district officials called “a potential threat to students and staff.”  

The son of a couple whose home was burned to the ground in a suspicious fire on June 5 is thanking community members for the support they’ve offered, and asking the public to contact the RCMP with any information they might have about the fire. Erica Butler spoke with Garrett Doncaster to find out what happened and how his family is doing.

The Horizon Health Network and the provincial government have been facing a barrage of criticism over their decision to curtail overnight emergency room services at the Sackville Hospital.  Bruce Wark brings us some reactions from local critics of the move.

And the province is very close to reaching its 75 per cent of eligible people target for first doses of COVID-19 vaccinations.
