They're Adding Yet Another Monument To Their Landscape - Bruce Wark & CHMA Report on this story

This is why the local youth who presented in town hall in 2013 for a new concrete skatepark will never have any influence on local politicians... there are too many old people running the priorities here:

I’m pleased to know serious consideration is being given to historical recognition of our foundries. My father began working at Fawcett in his teens and died there from a sudden, massive heart attack at age 44. Many others in my family were dedicated employees. I wonder if the story of the foundries could accompany this or other commemorative structure?"

Statue Installed for George Stanley - Maple Leaf Flag guy

At a time when statues of Canadian historical figures are being removed.. trust the 'community organizers' here to celebrate another academic guy again [other monument of Stanley the flag guy at the library installed ages ago] who is said to be responsible for the new maple leaf flag design that replaced Canada's perfectly good red ensign flag .. something that commie red Pierre Trudeau would have wanted no doubt with no nod to Europeans to be sure...

George Stanley gets a downtown statue on a bench...

by local sculptor Christian Toth https://christiantothart.com/projects/6811970...

All paid for by nannystate bucks for 'Canada 150' in our town... 

Anyone else tired of useless boomer cucks who disrespect our wishes and create problems where none existed, waste money and act with arrogance and disregard for the taxpayers? The trend of erasing history and re-writing history is not good work.. I don't care about a flag designer and I certainly don't think the amount of money wasted on him was warranted.. I would like to see real projects happen but perhaps that is too much to ask for in a town run by commi and the university.. these cucks have to be voted out of office before they do any more damage to our youth and their futures.  The story of Sackville pioneers is .. Acadian, Yorkshire, Mikmaq, Loyalist, Planter .. that's the story of this place... European settlers.

During the ridiculous era of face masks ol' Stanley's statue 

hasn't been seen without one on... 

the face mask thing its all rather creepy to be honest.

Skatepark Project Build Time - Not More Monuments for Sackville NB

Remembering SOME people is important around here because some are more important than others ... honouring only certain people is also educational and you should ask yourself why we CELEBRATE changing the national flag from the "Red Ensign"....

which well represented Canada for such a long time and had a purpose to the "red and white maple leaf" flag was such a big deal and a show of  the end of a connection to their European roots that Canadians have traditionally celebrated.

It's called 'culture shifting' .. that's what the contribution was by George Stanley, he was an academic and an influencer in his lifetime.  George would have witnessed the deliberate demographic shift from when Canada was 96% European race population in the early 1970s to when the policy of "multiculturalism" was added as "a national experiment without consent ".  Please read best-selling book "Canada in Decay:  Mass Immigration, Diversity & The Ethnocide of EuroCanadians" by founder of "Council of European Canadians" and best-selling author at UNB Saint John Campus Professor Ricardo Duchesne.. at this link:

The artist also did a giant heron and ducks sculpture art piece for the Town in front of the "Sally Anne" store previous to this installation https://christiantothart.com/projects/6241322

It would be great if the Town management saw a skatepark as a work of art that is functional.. perhaps they need to adjust their 'viewing lense' on this #TANTRAMAR SKATE PARK PROJECT...

Rotary boomer John Murchie ran for Mayor in 2012 and supported the project but didn't win..

As the town already has a very nice black marble monument to George Stanley dedicated in 1995 when he was alive--its in front of the town's public library--yet they went ahead for 'Canada 150' and spent even more money on another monument just a block away... why?

Why not advocate for a solid constructive useful PROJECT... a value added enhancement project..?
I say:  Honouring the living here is just as important.. especially our youth ... and the amount of money this town wastes on decorative "fluffy" stuff is becoming a little absurd especially in the face of the 'management's' mantra that "there is no money for a great concrete skatepark" [there most certainly is money] ..... see the blog post https://sackvilleuncensored.blogspot.com/2018/08/new-statue-installed-for-george-stanley.html

This is what a real skatepark looks like - Moncton Skate Park - by the river side.. its awesome!

Here are the people who build skateparks... Propour Concrete Services [Steve]...

and Bill Gurney @ New Line Skateparks.. I met them both when I visited their site build in Kentville Nova Scotia -- they created a truly awesome park there for the youth ... it is a great venue!!!

Bruce Wark @ Wark Times reported on the new half pipe in 2017 which was finally installed in 2018 ..  https://warktimes.com/2017/09/06/up-up-away-23k-for-sackville-skateboard-park/comment-page-1/?unapproved=4919&moderation-hash=9a8f8a938de49b2392e72eb5c8ee5ecb#comment-4919  

Added commentary to this article... 

"Its not a real skatepark .. and I am sorry that people don’t understand the sport enough to know that .. especially Andrew Black .. a real skatepark would be used and enjoyed and perhaps have some sun shelter as Moncton does … its important to understand the blatant lack of regard for the project for a concrete skatepark goes back at least 30 years plus .. to Duncan – one of the guys behind the Frisbee Golf Park could fill Bruce Wark in on the details of his attempts in his youth to get a park .. and more recently Mark Iglioriote an avid skater, artist instructor, father and advocate for the youth — for a few summers the town paid a youth to be a skatepark supervisor who would play with, teach, and hang out with the youth there .. then there was Ethan Sears' – son of former Mayor Pat Estabrooks -- youth group that made a great presentation to our town council and mayor in the summer of 2013 – they even had matching tshirts and showed enthusiasm for a REAL SKATEPARK BUILD ... they were ignored .. and most have grown up and left town .. so its just got to be a project LED by an adult who lives here .. me .. a mother of two teens who grew up skateboarding and longboarding in this town .. so I put up posters, talked to people, asked for others 'leaders in town' to help, and I pushed the project as best I could despite being blocked by the Town on facebook since 2015 for asking a question… hence the “Sackville Uncensored” to push against censorship around here in a small town that prides itself of being “community minded” and “inclusive” I can assure that it is not a true description…https://sackvilleuncensored.blogspot.com/2019/04/skateparks-not-monuments-for-sackville.html "
