Bruce Phinney Long Time Town Councillor's Interference with Tantramar Skate Park Project Advancing?

 After 20 years sitting on Town Council in the region and collecting a paycheque one has to ask what is Bruce Phinney's legacy project? Nothing.

Time for some new energy in the Town Hall?


"On Thursday, Active Living director Matt Pryde responded to a question from councillor Bruce Phinney to say that staff were considering the former BMX park on Dufferin Street as a potential location for the proposed dog park. “It hasn’t been used for a while,” said Pryde. “This past summer, it wasn’t maintained at all, and there’s been no comments or questions about it.”

Phinney also asked about the oft-discussed plan to build a concrete skate park in Sackville. Beal said it was still on the future major projects wish list, where it’s sat for years.

Back in 2021, Phinney was one of the councillors who killed a plan to commission a $12,500 study from Newline Skateparks to look at the options and feasibility for a new skate park. Councillors Matt Estabrooks and Michael Tower also voted against the study at the time."
