Amherst money-saving move

Amherst is dialing it down when it comes to councilors going to national meetings.

The maximum number of councilors that go, will be three.

Mayor Dr. David Kogon says that will save about 9 thousand dollars, regarding the yearly Federation of Canadian Municipalities meetings.

This year’s conference will be in Ottawa.
