The province had given municipalities a deadline of Thursday\u2014just four weeks after the plan was announced\u2014to make suggestions for changes to the proposed amalgamations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today on Tantramar Report we talk with Mayors Shawn Mesheau and Debbie Wiggins-Colwell, to talk about the reform and their objections. We also listen in to the provincial legislature, as MLA Megan Mitton questions the government rushed process on the major reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MAFA contract extended two years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mount Allison University and its Faculty Association have both agreed to extend their current collective agreements by two years. The extended contracts cover full-time and part-time faculty and librarians at Mount A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two collective agreements signed on Thursday will run until June, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Faculty Association says 70% of its members participated in an online vote to extend the contract, with over 90% of those members voting in favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a news release MAFA president Erin Steuter says that she is \u201cvery pleased with the level of participation in the vote\u201d considering it took place late in the term, during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She touted progress on workload for faculty and librarians, referring to long-term assurance that those on sabbatical will be replaced in their absence from classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">University president Jean-Paul Boudreau thanked Steuter and provost Jeff Hennessy for reaching the agreement in a letter to students and staff on Thursday. He said the agreement \u201chighlights the collaborative spirit our campus community has demonstrated throughout the pandemic while ensuring that we support the university\u2019s cherished academic mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sackville Farmers\u2019 Market Christmas and New Year\u2019s schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sackville Farmers\u2019 Market is on this Saturday from 9am to 12pm at its winter location on Lorne Street. It\u2019s the last market before the vendors take a week off for Christmas next Saturday. The market returns the following week for a special New Year\u2019s Eve market on Friday, December 31 from 10am to 2pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">COVID update: new daily record and a milestone in total cases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New Brunswick set another record in daily new cases on Thursday, with 177 new cases of COVID-19 reported by Public Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">144 of the new cases of under investigation by public health, with 27 identified as coming from previous cases, and 6 as travel-related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Zone 1, there were 33 new cases, with 29 of unknown origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of people in hospital remains fairly stable in the province, with 41 in hospital, and 15 of those in an intensive care unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those watching the numbers in New Brunswick\u2019s pandemic experience, Thursday marked a milestone: the province passed 10,000 in total cumulative cases since the beginning of the pandemic. But by far the lion\u2019s share of those cases have happened in the last four months of the pandemic. Since August 17th, there have been just over 7600 additional cases of COVID-19 reported in New Brunswick. In the previous 17 months, just over 2500 cases were reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to Tantramar Report for the following stories: Mayors and Mitton on municipal reform The Higgs government\u2019s Bill 82, An Act Respecting Local Governance Reform will become law today.
