On today’s show we take a short trip over to Victoria Park in Amherst to speak with Ashley Legere of the Cumberland Homelessness & Housing Support Association and Katie Upham from Moms Stop the Harm, about the people who have died due to an unsafe, illegal drug supply, and what we can do about it. Plus in briefs, it’s Move In day for Mount A residence students, and Acorn NB is gathering data about rental housing conditions in New Brunswick.
