SHUBENACADIE:<\/strong> Four community residents of the Shubenacadie area spoke at Municipality of East Hants municipal council regarding the relocation of the cenotaph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The residents who spoke were Carolyn Nelson; Michelle Anthony; Sue Smith; and Willie Courtney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each requested that the cenotaph be moved back to its original location along Highway 2 near the ball field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four also spoke at length on why they disagreed with what took place and how the community found out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some discussion, questions from councillors were addressed by the presenters and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the last council session before the summer break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A motion was made by Councillor Sandra Garden-Cole, seconded by Councillor Walter Tingley, that council take the presenters information into consideration and further discussion be held at a future date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further discussion was held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following that another motion came forward from Deputy Warden Carl MacPhee, seconded by Councillor Michael Perry, that moved to table that previous motion for further discussion until staff prepares a report around the costs and logistics (of possibly moving the Shubenacadie Cenotaph).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motion was tabled by a vote 6-5 with Councillors Keith Rhyno; Sandra Garden-Cole; Elie Moussa; Cecil Dixon; and Norval Mitchell voting against the motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warden Eleanor Roulston thanked the presenters for attending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s expected that the cenotaph will come back for discussion with staff reports at the first council session in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
