Previous story: Council tables motion to discuss relocation of Shubenacadie cenotaph

At the last council session before they took AUgust off, four community residents spoke at length on why they disagreed with what took place in the relocation of the cenotaph and how the community found out.
After some discussion, questions from councillors were addressed by the presenters and staff.
A 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).
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.
