The Sherbrooke Public Library will be closed today (Saturday, Nov 19).

The St. Mary's House League Hockey Committee is interested in hosting a program for youth ages 13-15 at the St. Mary's Recplex. If you or your child would be interested in registering, please contact Kerri at 902-522-2598 or email kerri.jack@saint-marys. Program will move forward if there is enough interest in the community.

The planning team has identified math errors in the initial calculation of voters in each district. We have corrected the errors and updated the tables of voter counts and variances. The various proposed potential boundaries have not changed, though we have added two more options to explore different combinations of boundary changes and their effects on voter counts.

We have extended the closing date for the online map comment submissions and to December 2, 2022. All comments placed before this update are still valid. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Ian Watson at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 902.423.0649.

The Province of Nova Scotia has made amendments to the Tourist Accommodations Registration Act (TARA) and Regulations that aim to improve compliance and provide municipalities with a clear picture of the short-term rental situation in their communities.

Under the updated regulations, all short-term rentals – including those within people’s homes – must register annually with the Tourist Accommodations Registry and include their registration number in their online booking platform listings.
