Annapolis Valley Regional Library Board asks for support during election campaign

The Annapolis Valley Regional Library Board is asking you for support during the election campaign. Bright yellow door hangers that say “Dear Candidate: Public libraries are important to me, my family, and my community!” will be available at any branch.  Board Chair Shirley Pineo says libraries have received less than a 1% increase to core operating funding in the past eight years.

West Hants decision

Unlike Windsor councillors, those in West Hants won’t be taking a month off from meetings this summer.

Warden Abraham Zebian proposed the idea in order to give others a break to spend time with their families.

The vote was tied 5-5.

Due to the tie, the motion was lost and council will continue to meet during the summer.

The next council meeting is tomorrow (Tues May 9) at 7 p.m.
