There will also be presentations on the Cookville solar project, which promises to supply up to 150 megawatts of renewable electricity, the ongoing fa\u00e7ade restoration project at Struts Gallery, and a resident presentation on the current procedural by-law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, staff are expected to provide updates on the elevator for the Tantramar Veterans\u2019 Memorial Civic Centre, as well as provide proposals for the upcoming Acadian Day, the replacement of failed pumps at the Ogden Mill Road lift station and a gifting agreement with the province regarding refurbished firefighting equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, there will also be a motion from Councillor Kristen Leblanc. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/warktimes.com\/2026\/07\/09\/120-demonstrators-line-sackville-bridge-saying-fight-isnt-over-against-nb-power-gas-plant\/\">reporting from Bruce Wark<\/a>, Leblanc said at the recent protest against the Tantramar gas plant that she would bring forth a motion to reaffirm council\u2019s opposition to the plant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight is the last regular council meeting until September, and will be the last scheduled meeting until a committee of the whole on August 24.
