On today’s show:
Tantramar Poet Laureate Laura Watson will wind down her first three-year term at the end of June, and Tantramar council will decide next month whether or not to renew the writer’s mandate for another three years. Watson came to council Monday to talk about some of the initiatives she has taken on during her tenure, including monthly Writers Open Mic events in Sackville, and a chapbook featuring the submissions from Tantramar’s annual poetry contest.
The municipality of Tantramar is proposing a cap on the number of banners that it puts up on lightpoles each year. The change comes as part of a proposed banner policy, and means the veterans’ banner program organized by Garth Zwicker would be limited to the installation of 245 banners each fall. Last season 223 veterans’ banners went up in Sackville and Dorchester.
