The town of Sackville marked the beginning of 2021 much like it has many events of the past year: online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a video posted to the town’s social media page<\/a>, Town Crier David Fullerton delivered a New Year\u2019s Message for Sackville in the town\u2019s online version of its annual levee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My wish for 2021 is that we all be there for each other during this difficult time, in this new way of life,” says Fullerton. “It is amazing how uplifting and appreciated a simple phone call can be for someone who is alone and confined to home.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video also features a speech from Deputy Mayor Ron Aiken, a poem read by Sackville Poet Laureate Shoshanna Wingate, and a montage of photos from 2020 featuring many of the town’s rec programs in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video also included a reprieve of this year\u2019s COVID- friendly Canada Day celebrations featuring local fiddlers Stacey Read, The Carter Girls, Quinn MacAskill, Del Wheaton, Royal Hicks, Brianna Ogden, Hannah Wade, and Ray Legere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
