met with Premier Tim Houston, municipal affairs minister John Lohr, Antigonish MLA Michelle Thompson, and Guysborough Tracadie MLA Greg Morrow in Halifax. McCarron noted the meeting came after a request to meet with Lohr in late March.
McCarron said the meeting was just to talk about shared priorities, asking the premier about the government’s priorities, and how local communities can help support those priorities as well. The warden noted some of the topics from the local side included challenges around water.
McCarron said he and the mayor appreciated the opportunity to speak with the premier and MLAs.
