At this link from CHMA website:
Never let it be said that the 'community organizers' of Sackville have a problem wasting other peoples' money on stuff that clutters the landscape.
Just don't ask them to get excited about building an Energy East Pipeline or Skatepark Project... God forbid their efforts should be for something beneficial and useful for the people alive today.

Why do they hide their monument to the founder of the local University behind a wall of shrubs and trees? Just asking for a friend.

Just to put things into perspective around here and for the record:
One old woman stands before council and mayor this year and says she wants to see money given for a monument to be built and everyone says 'hey great idea!'... but in 2013 over a dozen young people stood before council asking for a new venue they could enjoy endless hours of play and good clean fun at with their many friends and other skateboard enthusiasts from across the Maritimes and the mayor and council ignore them completely.
This is in a nutshell what is wrong with this town:
the management sucks; the politicians suck.
The 'community' would do well to grasp the term ROI - return on investment .. as explained to Michael Beal, treasurer/bean-counter at the Town Hall this week... Michael's wondering if he still has a job when the entity "Town of Tantramar" takes over here.. I guess only time will tell Michael.
Should I really need to keep reminding people that investing in a new concrete youth skatepark makes good sense and is the right project to build here now... in fact it was the right project 10 years ago but the well-paid minions in Town Hall wasted money on decorations and nonsense instead [$10,000 flower pots, still shaking my head...]
