On today’s show, we talk with former Strait Shores councillor Andy MacGregor who recently met with the new supervisor appointed to replace Strait Shores council for the next year. “He’s experienced and he knows how to get things done,” says MacGregor. “So I have all the confidence in the world that Greg’s going to do a great job for Strait Shores.”

After a tumultuous three months which involved multiple resignations and reports into council behaviour, the Local Governance Commission of New Brunswick appointed Greg Lutes to replace the remaining, defunct council.

CHMA has reached out to Lutes to ask questions about his work before municipal elections in May 2026 will elect a new council for Strait Shores. We are waiting to hear back.

In the meantime, MacGregor shares his impressions after meeting Lutes, and updates us on the work of two citizens committees that are still active: the Strait Shores tourism committee and the Age Friendly Community committee, which is planning two town hall events this June.
