Municipal election season is upon us. Barring any pandemic tragedies, on May 10 Sackville residents will be heading to the polls to cast votes for the next group of people to represent them at town council.

BP<\/strong>: I was born in Sackville, but grew up in Oromocto. I moved here in \u201977, worked for the university for 42 and a half years, just recently retired last September.
