Students of all ages will have to wear masks in indoor high-traffic areas, but students in eighth grade and under won\u2019t have smaller class sizes anymore, and classroom bubbles will also be no more. High schoolers will be back in class full-time and in-person, and will need to wear masks in congested areas until each their corresponding health region gets 90 per cent of all kids 12 and older vaccinated with two shots.<\/p>\n<p>Sackville\u2019s Chalk Festival returns next week after a year of COVID-19 hiatus, with lots of activities planned. The Town of Sackville\u2019s Business Development Intern Sarah Reeder took the lead on bringing the festival back now that New Brunswick is in the green, and is excited for residents of all ages to enjoy what she\u2019s planned.<\/p>\n<p>And with the context of the recent election in Nova Scotia in mind, Dave Meslin from Unlock Democracy Canada discusses electoral reform talks with CHMA about what\u2019s wrong with how Canada does elections, and what some other countries do differently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ea10b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4ea10b1\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"elementor-spacer\"><strong>Listen to full stories here:<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On today&#8217;s Tantramar Report: The province released its back-to-school plan which will require teachers and staff to either get vaccinated or get tested regularly.
