The Tantramar region had its second visit from a provincial opposition leader this week when Liberal party leader Susan Holt visited Sackville on Thursday to meet with Tantramar council, tour the Drew Nursing Home, and talk to health care workers.
Earlier in the week, Green leader David Coon hosted a town hall event at the Sackville Commons.
Like Coon, Holt’s tour of the province is focused on health care, which she says will be the key issue in this year’s election, on or before Oct. 21.
“Accessing healthcare is the number one issue we hear from New Brunswickers everywhere,” says Holt. “They either don’t have a doctor, a clinic or a primary care home, or they don’t have confidence that if they went to the ER, they would be able to get served.”
