From eight years ago now .. but Bill Evans has been a long time town councillor since this was shared on Facebook by his administrator of the group who were seeking to have him elected in this region.
Some more recent endeavours that Bill and his wife have been involved with are the resettlement of refugees into this region for 'diversity' .. working with rev. John Perkin at mta.ca and his "Sackville Refugee Resettlement Coalition" group - which can be found on facebook.. Bill Evans also showed his support for the town's first "Gay Pride Parade Event" in 2015 part of about 200 supporters.
