Politician Bill Evans NDP roots in Tantramar & mta.ca connections



"Bill Evans, a longtime community activist in Sackville New Brunswick, is a network analyst with Computing Services at Mount Allison University. He graduated from Mount Allison in 1972 with an honours degree in Economics. The father of three adult children, he is married to Heather Patterson who was an NDP candidate herself on two occasions in the 90's and they live in a home that has been in the family since the 1890's. Bill is in his eleventh year as president of the Mount Allison Staff Association and recently completed the maximum number of terms on the board of the Sackville Memorial Hospital Foundation. An active athlete, he and his partner have earned bronze medals in badminton in the Canada 55+ Games in 2008 and 2010. He has served on many university committees including three Presidential search committees and has taught with the Tantramar Seniors' College. He has been involved in several community groups including the Tantramar Peace Coalition and the Sackville Good Governance Coalition and is a regular at the Sackville Town Council meetings. This candidate believes that good government is important but, for it to work effectively, it requires an engaged citizenry."
