"Tenacity" and "Resilience" - Advocating in Tantramar since 2013... #TantramarSkateParkProject

 "Many of the young people we teach have experienced prolonged periods of trauma and stress, which can have a lasting effect on behaviour and cause severe changes in the developing brain. Current research shows that engaging in regular physical activity can stimulate brain function, which, in turn, helps to regulate stress and improve mental health. Skateboarding in particular can be highly soothing due to its vast sensory stimuli and social nature; most importantly, in how it teaches tenacity and resilience."

“Out of an abundance of caution, to avoid any confusion between my role as a councillor and informal online spaces, I’ve posted a notice on this affected page stepping back as a admin and moderator.” - Josh Goguen, Town Councillor Ward 3 Tantramar 2026 [a little late now Josh]

Instead of playing on Facebook in your free time you could be working towards accomplishing a more constructive goal in the region you were elected in and paid $2,000 per month to work for? Perhaps working on a youth project that's long overdue..  just an idea to think about Josh.

This town has so much unrealized potential.. its all about shaping the future and wise building.

This overlooked and ignored Tantramar Skate Park Project is going to get built in this region.... because I want the local youth to wake up on a Saturday and Sunday morning and head out to play with their skateboards for a day of fun and unstructured play... I will be driven in the coming years to ensure they get this opportunity to play as much as they want to afterschool, through the spring and fall, and all summer long outside in the fresh air and no one is going to stop the forward momentum of this awesome local project.. I will never give up.. I believe in the power of positive thinking, making good on promises made, and doing good projects, not in lazy Town Hall staff and inept politicians who do not deliver... I believe our youths' lives matter in Tantramar.. this is my stated goal:  I will never enter politics.. I will never sell the youth out here... I ignore haters, gossips, petty people, uninspired thinkers, and naysayers... and regardless of all the censorship I have endured online and in the "community" and how much negative attitudes have prevailed against me about this effort-- I really don't care.

Great skateparks make great towns.. shine on skateboarding youth.. you are worthy.

Let's do this..

Five candidates nominated to contest vacant seat on Sackville Town Council | 

Mike Tower is a retired liquor store worker and long time town councillor and back in the summer of 2013 he sat and listened to a group of youth presenting in the Town Hall in Sackville who were asking for new concrete skatepark venue.  Tower is not worthy of a vote in the coming election; he did nothing to help them in the last 13 years.. he is an unaccomplished grifter.

Tantramar's management and staff consistently ignore the new concrete skatepark project.. 

and there's no vision, mission, or ambition for the growth of the region coming from Tantramar's Mayor Andrew Black.. why?

Tantramar Mayor Andrew Black says it’s “incredibly unacceptable” that the town was not informed or consulted before NB Power announced construction of a 500 megawatt, natural gas generating plant in Centre Village near Midgic.

“I can honestly say that neither myself and council through governance, nor the CAO and staff through operations, received any indication of this project before we all heard about it on the news,” Black writes in an e-mail to Warktimes.

“Yet again the municipality, as has happened often over the last couple of years, was not informed or communicated with about this project, its impact, and the public input which is a huge issue as seen through the obvious divisiveness of opinion of the residents of Tantramar,” he adds.

“Just like when the province decided to close a culvert wash-out on the way to Dorchester, closing the Wheaton covered Bridge, reducing the weight tonnage of the Peck’s Point Bridge, and the tearing down of the old Aulac tourism information centre, here we are again being surprised at a project that stands to have considerable impact on this community in many ways.”

Are we getting closer? Yes! Tantramar Skate Park Project - Thanks Bruce Phinney

Our advocacy team had some commentary recently here:

"wondering if Moneris based in Sackville NB has thought about working with the Tantramar Skate Park Project to donate some of their excess lands parking lot area which sits across from the police station and Town Hall for the next concrete skatepark on the budget at $600K"

We'd like to thank Town Councillor Bruce Phinney for continuing to bring up the project for discussions with the Mayor and others in Town Hall during Council Meetings - thank you Bruce!

and maybe they can use this old micro skatepark area for their dog park plans?

Sorry Folks - No Presentation on Tantramar Skate Park Project This Month

 Donna Beal, Municipality of Tantramar, confirms she is unable to accommodate a few questions in chambers before Town Councillors and Mayor about the skatepark project until December.. at the soonest.. busy time for people making their asks & presentations.

The new concrete skatepark venue has been an "ask for quite some time around here" [since 2013, when the local youth skateboarders presented to the Mayor and Town Councillors as a group].  Nothing has happened as far as moving the project forward by the staffers so it was time to get in there and nudge them along, not so gently, for some results.

Some good ideas in Tantramar matter a lot to the young people here... this is one of them.

I continue to advocate for this project on behalf of the youth who already gathered in a group and appeared in the Town Hall and spoke to the local politicians in 2013 but UNFORTUNATELY have been IGNORED by the CAO and Project Manager and Tourism Manager -- all very well paid minions at the Palace.
