Do Not Let The Door Hit Ya On the Way Out... Erica Butler depart Mount Allison University's CHMA FM Campus Radio Reporter Gig

 

"How nurses from the Philippines helped open more nursing home beds in Sackville

August 8, 2025 Erica Butler CHMA News, Local Journalism Initiative, Community Radio Fund of Canada On today’s show, we learn about a recruitment program at the Drew Nursing Home, which has resulted in 25 nurses originally from the Philippines being hired to work in Sackville. Thanks to the additional staff, the Drew is now operating at full capacity, after many years with empty beds. We talk with Drew director Linda Shannon, Thrive NB co-founder Carol Chapman, and Charie May Ili, a registered nurse from the Philippines who came to Sackville in November 2024 to work at the Drew. A note from Erica: This is my final edition of Tantramar Report, as my time at CHMA winds to a close today. It’s been a pleasure and a privilege working as a reporter in Sackville, Dorchester, and sometimes even Memramcook, Amherst and Strait Shores. Thanks to all the readers and listeners, especially those who have reached out over the years with a comment, question, or even just a grammar check. It was all appreciated. CHMA news will take a break next week, but will be back. Stay tuned for further developments."

Last night, I took part in a panel to discuss the need for policies like Policy 713 to ensure that 2SLGBTQIA+ youth are safe in our schools. The Higgs government chose to go after a policy that was designed to protect youth, specifically the most marginalized and vulnerable youth. I appreciate the opportunity to speak to these important issues and meet with people who these policies impact directly.

New Brunswick Coalition for Transgender Rights

Hier soir, j'ai participé à un panel pour discuter de la nécessité de politiques comme la Politique 713 pour assurer la sécurité des jeunes 2ELGBTQIA+ dans nos écoles. Le gouvernement Higgs a choisi de s'en prendre à une politique conçue pour protéger les jeunes, en particulier les plus marginalisés et les plus vulnérables. J'apprécie l'occasion qui m'a été donnée de parler de ces questions importantes et de rencontrer les personnes sur lesquelles ces politiques ont un impact direct.

Beausejour MP Dominic LeBlanc - Patricia Lafford [ Roman Catholic ] - Ottawa Ontario 2016 Acknowledgement

"Apr 23, 2015

Dominic LeBlanc congratulates Ms. Patricia Lafford, for having received the Governor General's Caring Canadian Award. April 22nd, 2015. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Patricia Lafford for having received the Governor General's Caring Canadian Award last week. Patsy has long been an important part of the Sackville and Tantramar, New Brunswick communities. She has given her time to help those around her who are in need. She helped found, for example, the Sackville Food Bank in 1988 and was a very active member of the Catholic Women's League. She even brings communion to residents of a local nursing home who are unable to travel to regular church services, all the while finding time to care for her 10 beloved grandchildren. I have known Patsy for many years and have constantly been impressed by her love of community. Patricia Lafford is exactly the kind of person this award was created to recognize. Once again, my sincere congratulations to Patricia Lafford and her family and to Sackville and Tantramar for being home to such a terrific woman."

A letter to Minister John Haggie share by a loving parent I'm writing as a very concerned grandparent with regards to the most recent letter that was sent home with my two grandchildren yesterday (ages 5 & . I can't express enough, how upsetting it was to read that children at these highly impressionable ages can be exposed to such a delicate subject. At this most innocent age, children should not be thrown into the political pot of sexual preference/s or identification. It is pure exploitation. There is a required vulnerability check on adults prior to be exposed to teaching/assisting children in schools but yet, our children can be exposed to drag queen visits in the name of "new normal and inclusiveness"? There is a multi level of mental health involved here (the drag queen's AND the children's) and the once safe school is not the right environment to permit these groups to express themselves at the risk of affecting our vulnerable children! Thankfully, there was enough consideration in place to require parental consent up to grade 6. There's possible hope! Alarmingly though, after grade 6 onward, no consent? Our EDUCATED officials need not be reminded that until age 18, children are in the direction, guidance, and care of an ADULT (aka Parents)! The frontal lobe development is a real topic that might warrant a revisit before our officials dictate a "no consent"go ahead to parents in the name of protecting CHILDREN! If this is truly all about ensuring inclusiveness, then that's not the way to balance the scales! What this is, is a drastic heavy tipping in the loss of parental power versus governing power. There is a master agenda that is hiding under the guise of inclusivity here. Inclusive can be defined by words such as fairness, equality, etc. This is anything but. This is deletion of the ability for parents to be what they were designed to be! There is no one more invested into a child's life than that of a parent, grandparent, or legal guardian. This is nothing more than a stripping of these rights and putting our most vulnerable (our children) at risk of a future that will inevitably be paved with despair. If mental health/suicide was considered at an all time high before, brace yourself."
