Why do people love this town so much?
Its beautiful naturally--its perfection was achieved in its early creation which we are tasked with preserving and enhancing - we who choose to do so
The Town of Sackville was designated a 2008 Cultural Capital of Canada by Heritage Canada. Several new artists works were installed in that year, and a Sackville Arts Wall of Fame was created. Artists featured on the walk, many of whom are internationally renowned, have contributed to Sackville's landscape both past and present.Sackville Designated a Cultural Capital of Canada for 2008 - Canada.ca
Cultural gaffs and cultural removal... its ongoing...
University removing war memorial library and later on "Preferred developer" Lafford's destruction of old historic church paved the way for more 'smartgrowth' and less culture, beauty, architectural history and heart in the centre of Sackville New Brunswick because money matters and history doesn't matter here.. that's why they've been re-branding themselves from "Sweet Little Town on the Marshlands" to a "New Kind of Small Town" that seeks to create a new culture, new society, and global community.
Some locals such as long time Town Councillor Virgil Hammock, retired Art Professor had hoped to save the church... but it was demolished for apartment housing by Lafford, a wealthy builder.. who of course used the land to profit and prosper.
The Town went on to spend $2 million on ponds.. they didn't feel a cultural community centre built in the renovated church was a viable option here.
