Sackville town council has approved its input to the province’s municipal reform process, and it calls for county-style governments for local service districts, but no forced amalgamations. 

EOS Eco Energy has posted the job of Climate Change Coordinator for the Town of Sackville. EOS says it’s looking for “a dynamic individual” to work out of its Sackville office for a six-month period on implementation of the town’s adaptation and emissions reduction action plans. 

EOS and the town of Sackville are collaborating on another project underway now at town hall: the expansion of the green roof. EOS says thanks to federal Eco Action funding, the expanded roof will create a community green space, help save energy, and reduce stormwater runoff.

In COVID-19 news, the provincial rate for second dose vaccinations reached 60 per cent on Wednesday, as no new cases were reported. There are seven active cases left in the province, with six of those in Zone 1.
