Windsor Agricultural Society arena suggestion

The Windsor Agricultural Society is pushing an alternative, less costly; option regarding the proposed new Hockey Heritage Centre and arena.

The society proposed to build that complex at the Hants County Exhibition Grounds, which they feel would cost taxpayers less overall.

Society officials added that water, sewers; and everything else needed is right there off of a newly updated road with good access to the highway.

If the arena is built near Long Pond, roads and services, like sewers; will need big upgrades to meet the demand, adding to the costs.

Pinkney’s Point concerns

People in Yarmouth County are worried as ground erosion is nearing the only road in Pinkney’s Point.

They add that the washing away of the ground has been getting worse recently, and are concerned about the road just a few feet away from where the ground is washing away.

Daniel Allen, the municipal councillor;  has spoken to the transportation department about the situation.

They say repairs will happen, but didn’t give any other details.
