We love our community! Look at the amazing volunteer team from our local RBC, who came out for an evening to scrape and prime our building, in preparation for a much-needed paint job. One person even brought her daughter and grand-daughter along to help. A brilliant modeling of how each of us, no matter how young, can play a role making our community a better place. Thank you Sackville friends!! We are so grateful!

Good morning! Come to our Saturday Morning Bazaar today between 9 and noon! We have plants (outdoor and indoor), rummage sale items, baked goods (thanks to Lighthouse Baking), exquisite crafts (thanks to Kat), photo buttons and FREE BOOKS! See you soon! your friends at Open Sky... (p.s. please wear a mask, and be prepared to hand sanitize and distance, to keep all of us safe!)

There is an opportunity for a position at Mount Allison University in student counselling. Please share among your networks. https://www.mta.ca//Employme/Non-academic/Posting(155).pdf

We're so excited, and we just can't hide it! Two more of our staff are vaccinated this morning and 3 more have appointments for later today! Thank you Government of New Brunswick public health folks! And thanks to the caring nursing staff doing such a great job in Sackville, running the vaccination clinic!

This is an important issue. One aspect of Open Sky is to teach co-operative business skills among adults who could otherwise face barriers to employment. There are so many New Brunswickers - like the ones we know here in the Sackville region - who could help aging business owners with their succession issues, by transforming small- or medium-sized businesses into worker-owned or community-owned co-ops.... Be in touch with the Co-operative Enterprise Council of New Brunswick or Coopérative de Développement Régional-Acadie (CDR-Acadie) or with us at Open Sky, if you'd like to learn more about this. https://cecnb.ca//the-crisis-no-one-is-talking-about-and-h
