Mayor Rob Zwicker and CAO Rob Frost met with officials at Service Nova Scotia and other  government officials to discuss the town's budget problems and to see the help available.

COP - Citizens on Patrol.  S/Sgt Dan Austin has 14 people vetted for CO but wanted 5 or 6 more to begin the program. Several applications are in the system and being processed. At the meeting Feb. 19, several more people took application forms.  The program gets people involved in and taking responsibility for their community.

I have left a query with S/Sgt Austin. Was crime up or down in town in 2012 and will post his response
