Welcome Centres, Wetland Centres, Nature Centres, Housing and Everything Green... with Megan Mitton, MLA

MLA Megan Mitton writes on Facebook:


"I was surprised and disappointed to learn that the Conservative government is closing the provincial Visitor Information Centre in Aulac. The previous Liberal government closed the Visitor Information Centre in Cape Jourimain. The impact of this new closure will be felt by the local businesses in our area, but also across the province. Memramcook-Tantramar is the gateway to New Brunswick from the other Maritime provinces and should be part of the provincial tourism strategy.
Why doesn’t this government want to welcome people into New Brunswick and avoid being the “drive-through” province?"


Retro NB days .. " Vintage Sackville " Facebook photo of Aulac New Brunswick Welcome Centre... I wonder what will be the new " life " for this lovely A Frame building?  Perhaps a new business or gallery or museum or craft shop ?  All kinds of options at a great location .. I think it s a wise decision by Premier Higgs [money saver]


@@@@@@



Sackville NB actually also has a Welcome Centre and a Wetlands Centre  -- and that might just be enough eh?  New Brunswick isn't a drive-through province its just not a very developed province and ironically Big Green Inc. is the reason for that ... so when a green party MLA asks this sort of question I have to chuckle.  Per capita I would suggest this province has more environmentalists than any other province.. and I don't know if you've noticed or not but environmentalists tend to be anti-development.



As for everything green it would be great
to see our MLA Megan Mitton 
promoting housing solutions such as
earth natural build cob homes
like the one shown above...
there is no shortage of affordable
 land in the region
and more homes built with natural materials
and affordable methods would be great.
