"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."source:
