Projects Over Politics in Tantramar - Tantramar Skate Park Project

 

The current Mayor Andrew Black is a skateboarder so he understands the joy of the sport very well..

he is also re-offering in this election as Town Councillor for Ward 3 in Tantramar and if he is elected I pledge to hold his feet to the fire as I continue to nudge the project forward.. it has been years of advocating in the region for the youth and unfortunately so far not much has been done due a lack of interest by Matt Pryde Parks & Rec.  Hopefully, the new Mayor can kick Matt's ass into gear to really get this long overdue youth project going in 2026.

Matt Pryde hangs out "working" now at the ice rink [not the town hall] and his partner in crime there is Jamie Ferguson [a newer hire by the Town].. Pryde has been asked directly by me to get this project going for a number of years.. and yes, they do now have a Facebook page here [ I do not ] :

If it feels like your politicians at all levels don't work for you its because they don't - they work for an Agenda.

Of Note:

Town Councillor Greg Martin [Aulac] says:  "I totally agree with the idea of not having two meetings in the summer time.. I enjoy a break in the summer time like everybody else would .. and I think that we should pass this on to the staff so that anybody who wants to make their plans can do it and enjoy a little bit of the summer.. uh.. we ask a lot of the staff.. and they're gonna be busy after the summer's over and with everything happening in an election next year.. and I think that it worked well last summer.. I didn't hear anybody complaining about not being able to access information for services that they wanted from the town hall and I think most people would agree that summer time is family time and if we can give it to the staff as we would enjoy it then we should be doing that, thank you Mayor"
