Coviet Matt Pryde is happy to discuss tracking data of residents on their smartphones and more..

Matt Pryde has been spending public money like a drunken sailor for years here.. more here:

Tantramar council outsources recreation plan and strategic plan implementation, after tight vote » CHMA

Matt Pryde is 100% unaccountable.. hired about a decade ago... he also has the Town Hall "job" of giving away lots and lots of public funds/money to various "community groups" in town at his sole discretion... so why is that? Why does Matt have such an undeserved "privilege" of picking winners and losers in this town of free money grant seekers?

Discuss.

Pryde also hired a friend, sidekick Jamie Ferguson, for a large payday, not so long ago... together they've come up with ridiculous schemes like a "an expensive fenced dog park" at the Ice Rink no one wanted [which thankfully went nowhere].. and a "tree planting with volunteers" initiative now in a park already full of trees.. you know the one .. right? The duo spend time putting photographs on Facebook of trees they've "captured" around town.. and to add to their folly they're also decided we needed to be a "Bee City".. overall they seem to have an agenda all their own.. and zero desire to do the things that are essential in our town... perhaps its time to "cut the fat" at Town Hall .. and simplify the spending on staffing who are happy to do whatever they want to do rather than work for the people of the town.  The fact that they "got thousands of dollars from F.C.M." to do the tree planting initiative should tell you that perhaps FCM is also a problem.. and should be de-funded.  Pryde has also spent time schmoozing in Ottawa at "conferences" and felt compelled to give a consulting company in Alberta $50K+ to write up a "master recreational plan" for him.. his ability to throw money around knows no limits, unless its on something that the people here actually want.

By the way... more out of control spending and babysitting/meddling with children this week.. and its not a programme that's "FREE" if the taxpayers are paying for it Matt Pryde.

You had one ask Matt Pryde.. and you just couldn't be bothered to do your job in this town.. why?

Pickleball Pusher Matt Pryde hasn't had the local tennis courts painted in years.. they look totally disgraceful... so think about the big picture.. ask yourself are these really the words of a "real leader" in Town, or an incompetent, lost "follower"?

“ I think there’s a lot of opportunity here for us to be a leader in our trails, our cultural events, and just being a great opportunity for the Southeast Regional Service Commission to use Tantramar as kind of their test dummy, I guess, for any of their initiatives that they’re using in recreation.” - Matt Pryde, long time staffer

Why was 'Richard' shown below able to skip his newly conceived and costly to the public Quarry Park project in town ahead of an over decade old request by the group of youth [postering above] who presented in the Town Hall 14 years ago politely asking for a new skatepark venue project and also why did he get to jump ahead of the much-needed elevator project at the ice rink - - an essential much needed asset?  Long before the arrival of well paid but out-of-touch Matt Pryde Parks & Rec. town hall employee for over a decade the youth here were encouraged to "organize" and present before the Town Councillors and Mayor about their skatepark project... so they did [about a dozen of them].  I'm concerned that some people here are actually far too "entitled" and far too "demanding" and in fact they are unreasonably and unfairly prioritized here in Sackville over the reasonable requests of the not-so-entitled working class taxpayers here ... and that these "entitled" people in many cases are fanatic climate change hysterics/environmentalists and they don't actually care about youth or people and feel that they don't need to wait their turn in the line-up of requests.  Its not as though there is a shortage of parks and trails in this town and region already Richard .. is it.. so what's the deal here.. you're back in the Town Hall asking for more now?

Passionate about Literacy in New Brunswick? Gala Dinner & Auction October 6th @ Delta Fredericton - $150 Tickets

The tickets go for $150 but it would be a chance to meet/rub up on Hon. Frank McKenna [I'm assuming he is attending] and ask him about the censorship of him by those whacky "The Carr Brothers Show" on Youtube that I've been trying to get to the bottom of for a while.. its the little details that I focus on.. they tend to matter.. at least to me.

Façade
Facelift
Fundraiser

If you’ve seen us in town, you’ve likely noticed the wooden structure in front of our building! Well, what’s going on? Struts Gallery is undergoing a major facelift.

We are renovating the front-facing wall of Struts Gallery. The first phase includes brick-repointing using heritage methods, restoring the window to the historic Tingley Bros & Duncan storefront look and installing an accessible front door in the iconic yellow that we all know and love.

Why are we renovating? Our engineering consultants Heritage Standing Inc. identified that our front wall was degrading rapidly and in need of immediate intervention to protect and stabilize it. Engineered shoring was installed in June 2026 and permanent repairs begin on September 21, 2026. This phase of work will cost us about $200,000 total.

With news that we were awarded a $50,000 grant from the Government of New Brunswick through the Built Heritage Program, we’ve jumped into action. We are now launching the Façade Facelift Fundraiser, with the goal of raising $20,000 by Dec. 1, to match a $20,000 grant that J.T. Clark Family Foundation has committed to us if we match their funds! So far, we have $5,167 raised.

If you can’t donate, help us find someone who can. We are seeking individuals, foundations, and businesses who can commit $1,000 or more. Send your inquiries to Interim Director Michelle, she would love to chat with you. We are a registered charitable organization that issues tax receipts for any donations over $50.

There are many ways to support us: renew your membership with us or purchase our merchandise. We have new Whess Harman ‘Tenderizer’ tees for sale, we restocked our Struts Allergy hats in periwinkle and mustard & have Natt Cann prints available. This month you can find us at the Sackville Farmer’s Market and we’re hosting a Halloween extravaganza in October – more details coming soon.

We need your support. Please spread the word.

With love and excitement for the long-awaited glow up,
Michelle, Lucas, Angie & the Board of Directors"

Tantramar & Mount Allison University Pride Celebrations This Week on Campus and in Town 2026

Our Prez "Suthy" a force for good .. here:  Ian Sutherland - Mount Allison University | LinkedIn

" Tantramar is with Mount Allison University and 

2 others

.

16h ·

You know what's fabulous? A community that comes together to celebrate each other.

That's exactly what happened on September 21 at the pride flag raising and parade event, attended by university students, Mount Allison President and Vice‑Chancellor Dr. Ian Sutherland, many area organizations and dozens of community members.

Pride flags are now up at Mount Allison campus and Tantramar's municipal building, with pride-themed events taking place across many businesses throughout the coming days. A big thank you to all who attended, as well as organizers from Mount Allison Students' Union and Tantramar's Active Living and Culture.

Happy Pride, Tantramar "

Inclusive Pride means those who are struggling too.

DeTransition Awareness is real so let's not ignore it.

Let's make all voices welcome... thank you.

DeTrans Awareness Day was established in 2021 to honour the experiences of detransitioners--people who previously identified as transgender but later reversed or stopped their transition--and to bring attention to the perceived risks associated with gender ideology and medical interventions such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries.  More here:  Detrans Awareness Day 2026 — Genspect

It takes courage to be the voice

of reason..

in unreasonable times..

perhaps there are more courageous

people out there..

I hope so..

especially in our healthcare system..

and Bruno,

Y'all we covered Pride on campus and in our town since 2015 when the very first gathering and celebrations en masse took place.. it was huge.
