CBRM’ Youth Council

CBRM’s Youth Council for this year held its first meeting yesterday, but there was something or someone missing.

The Cape Breton Post reports that while there was good representation from many areas there wasn’t any students from New Waterford.  So the municipality is asking youths, aged 14 to 18 from there, to come forward and take part.

The Council will provide recommendation to city council on what they would like to see done, and they will make recommendations, as well, on how to spend $25,000 in funding.

Sydney guilty plea

A 28 year old Sydney man will be sentenced next month after pleading guilty to a robbery in court.

James Anthony MacDonald, of Whitney Avenue, admitted to robbing a Sydney convenience store last November while wearing a mask.  He remains in custody with sentencing set for February 22nd.
