At this special meeting, local groups requested funding for their operations. In addition, two residents made requests they\u2019d like to see added to 2026\u2019s general spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listen here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Oct-3rd-budget-meeting.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In total, 13 presentations were heard. Requests spanned across housing and community services, arts, climate, and local safety. The requests here have been grouped together and are not in the order they were presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"70716e\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #70716e;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"408\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-03-091909.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65247 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-03-091909.webp 730w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-03-091909-600x335.webp 600w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tantramar|Sackville Town Hall | Image: CBC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calls for safer streets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the youngest presenters, Alaska Charron, spoke about safety on Queens Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe think a sidewalk would slow the cars down and make it much safer for our growing neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support for youth, families and seniors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funding requests also came in for services for youth, families, and seniors. The Drama Queens troupe, a theatre group for young people, asked for continued support for youth theatre. The Tantramar Seniors College sought funds to expand learning opportunities for older adults. Katherine MacIntyre and Nicole Keeling of the Early Childhood Family Resource Centre requested help growing family programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s smart economics. When parents feel supported and connected, children thrive and communities become healthier and stronger\u2026 Last year alone, we had over 7,000 visits and welcomed more than 400 new families. That tells us there is real and growing demand in what we do here in Tantramar,\u201d said MacIntyre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Housing strategy and infrastructure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Housing projects were also on the agenda. Freshwinds Eco-Village Housing Co-op asked council to include budget funds to match provincial and federal money for water and sewer upgrades that enable affordable housing projects, and to put funds towards developing a municipal housing strategy. Tom Snowdon from the co-op added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want to say how much we appreciate your ongoing interest in and openness to and support for our housing project, which has just applied for funding to build more than 68 cooperative housing units on the Freshwinds property on Fairfield Road.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cultural and community service groups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Community service and cultural groups were also represented. Susan Spence of the IODE Shepherd Chapter requested continued municipal support for their volunteer service work. John Warner, Lisa Emery, and Geoff DeGannes of Tantramar Community Radio, CFTA 107.9, asked council for annual operating support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arts and heritage priorities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arts and heritage organizations made their case as well. Sue Rose of Marshlight Theatre stressed the value of investment in the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRecent studies have found a return on investment of one to four coming back to communities from the activities of the cultural sector in New Brunswick. One dollar invested in the New Brunswick cultural sector generates a four dollar return through job creation, infrastructure development, tourism and community enhancement,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alana Morouney of the Everybody All Together artist co-op called for more municipal support for local artists. Karen Valanne of the Tantramar Heritage Trust reminded council about the costs of maintaining historic sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe receive about 3000 visitors annually to our museums,\u201d Valine said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Climate action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On climate, Penny Mott of Seniors for Climate Tantramar asked council to strengthen its commitments to climate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next steps in the process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At meetings like this, decisions are not made &#8211; requests are only heard. Mayor Andrew Black reminded those present this was only the first step in the budget process. More will follow before a final budget is approved at a dates not yet set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is the list of organizations\/residents that spoke, as well as the link to the presentation deck from the night of the budget meeting, and link to Tantramar&#8217;s broadcasts of council meetings.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Residents:<\/strong><br>\u2022 Alaska Charron &#8211; sidewalk on Queens Road for kids and increase in homes<br>\u2022 Natalie Donaher &#8211; stronger municipal action on affordable housing<br><br><strong>Organizations:<\/strong><br>\u2022 Drama Queens Theatre Troupe<br>\u2022 Tantramar Seniors College<br>\u2022 Early Childhood Family Resource Centre<br>\u2022 Freshwinds Eco-Village Housing Co-op<br>\u2022 IODE Shepherd Chapter<br>\u2022 Tantramar Community Radio (CFTA 107.9)<br>\u2022 Marshlight Theatre<br>\u2022 Everybody All Together Artist Co-op<br>\u2022 Tantramar Heritage Trust<br>\u2022 Seniors for Climate Tantramar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sackville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Special-Meeting-of-Council-September-23-2025-Public-Budget-Presentations.pdf\">Public Budget Presentations<\/a><\/strong> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5FIABCiZLl4&amp;t=3844s\"><strong>Public Special Council Meeting<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s the summary from Tantramar\u2019s special budget meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tantramar\u2019s council began its 2026 budget season just over a week ago by setting aside a night to hear from the community.
