"This is not Robert MacKinnon’s first extended stay in Sackville. The new interim president of Mount Allison actually graduated from the university back in 1978. “We’ve been enjoying rediscovering Sackville,” says MacKinnon. The town “still has the same feel” as he recalls from his student days, although he’s noted the changes. “Mel’s is closed, of course… and the sub shop that I used to go to is no longer there… But the town is still a beautiful town.”

"MacKinnon says both the major renovation of the Ralph Pickard Bell Library, and also the upcoming negotiations for a new faculty contract are both on his radar.
As for the library project, which received a pledge of $36 million in federal and provincial funding last year, MacKinnon is anxious to find out what the committee working on the project has come up with. “I’d really like to get this project rolling so that it will be on the road to completion when the when the permanent president arrives,” says MacKinnon."
Amazing to see so much money flowing to the university... never any money for a concrete skatepark project here though.. why?
