The Tantramar Family Resource Centre now has a home at 94 Willow Lane.
TFRC’s early childhood and development co-director Sharon Hachey said having a physical space for the resource centre will allow for growth in terms of resources.
“Our goal of having a physical space is to have more visibility in town, to get more people talking about some of our goals and how they can contribute to it, whether through volunteering or financially.”
Although the space is small, it will allow for parents to drop in and also offer other services, Hachey said.

Should the stars be aligned in the correct order this fall, the Mounties could suddenly emerge as a strong contender in the Atlantic Universities Football Conference (AUFC).
You might ask “how come.” Well, it appears as though they could open camp in August minus only one key from the ‘09 lineup that, in spite of going winless, nevertheless put up some good offensive numbers and had some of the better players in the country in the line-up.
Gone for sure will be punter/kicker Olivier Eddie who gave the team field advantage, a threat to run on each punt and a strong leg that allowed him to lead the conference in scoring in 2008.
