Where they will be parading is still up in the air.

Kentville drew up a proposal for the Apple Blossom Festival’s Board of Directors to keep the parade in Kentville this year, but the festival board hasn’t agreed to it yet.

Festival interim president Alxys Chamberlain told CBC yesterday the board was still reviewing it.

She said they decided to change the parade route to New Minas because of difficulties in securing police and recreation staff in Kentville, which surprised Mayor Sandra Snow.

She said the town supplies police for the parade and everybody in the works and recreation departments work on parade day.

People in Grand Pre are upset with inconsistent internet service.

Residents are dealing with hugely varied or spotty coverage.

Improved Internet service could increase property values by $10,000 to $20,000.

Eastlink says it has been delivering its core, fibre-based services to hundreds of small towns and communities across the province such as Wolfville, Avonport, Hantsport, Windsor and parts of Grand Pré.
