CHSR News – November 13th, 2024 – Fredericton City Council Approves New Non-Motorized Boat Launch
In a brief meeting of Fredericton City Council Tuesday night, councilors voted in favor of a highway usage permit for the construction of a new non-motorized boat launch.
The city recently launched the River Access Initiative back in May, which aims to create a stronger network for these activities in the Lower Saint John River Valley Region, which contains almost 200 km of usable routes.
This newest launch site is along the Nashwaak River where the Penniac Bridge used to run across before it was torn down in the Summer of 2022.
The permit for the new site will run 10 years less a day, beginning retroactively from April 1st of this year to March 31st, 2034. With construction expected to begin in shortly.

CHSR News – November 12th, 2024 – Yesterday’s Weather Goes From Tik Tok To Silverwave
Yesterday’s Weather is an internet sketch series that kept longtime friends and collaborators Jason McIntyre and Brennan Garnett entertained when they were isolating together during the Covid-19 pandemic. Creating over 150 videos which they shared to Instagram and Tik Tok.
The response to the series from both friends and strangers was enough to convince them to develop the series into a short film, which debuted at Fredericton’s Silverwave Film Festival this weekend, as a pilot to potentially develop it further into a tv series.
The 14 min film took home five awards from the festival’s awards including Excellence In Art Direction, Screenwriting and both male/female, or gender non-conforming, categories for Outstanding Supporting Performance.
We sat down with them to unpack the journey, starting with the creative chemistry to two share.

Hello there everyone. Welcome to Episode 63 of Testing For Echo on CHSR FM 97.9 in Fredericton and around the world. I’m your host Tim Scammell.

Also, I’m sure you folks recall that my son Braydon moved to another province and said goodbye to a couple of bands that he was in.
Well, it didn’t take him long to jump into 2 bands in his new city.
And it just so happens that they are both recently recording, and I have one of the songs here.
So please head down the page to the little arrow to download/listen to the show.
Take good care,
Tim

CHSR News – November 8th, 2024 – Premier Holt Scraps Restriction On Surgical Abortions
In just under a week in office, Premier Susan Holt has repealed the stipulation in New Brunswick’s medical services payment act that prevents coverage for surgical abortions performed outside hospitals.
Holt said it was a move that required no delays, is a negligible cost to the province and will ease minds of those who need the access, and thanking those in attendance for the announcement who laid the groundwork.
Health minister John Dornan added that there are those currently in situations that couldn’t wait longer for this change.
Holt stressed that the work is not done and that the province can expect supports to this new access within the first quarter of 2025.
Listen to hear more about the premier’s first major healthcare announcement.

CHSR News – November 7th, 2024 – Pallmer Brings Chamber Pop To The Forefront Of New Brunswick’s Music Scene
Mark Kleyn (viola), Emily Kennedy (cello/vocals) and Charles Harding (synthesizer/percussion), also known as Pallmer, took home some hardware at the 2024 Music New Brunswick Awards on October 24th.
The trio won Song of the Year for the title track of their album Swimming, which was also nominated for Recording of the Year, a track Kennedy penned about sombre feelings and emotions amidst the dead of winter.
The nine-track LP was produced by Juno-nominated electro-acoustic artist and producer Joshua Van Tassel, who helped them achieve their ideal recording quality and added additional instrumentation to take their song ideas further, citing their award winning song as his greatest impact.
It is their second such award win, the other being Recording of the Year in 2021 for their debut EP Quiet Clapping, which Kennedy says is a recognition the group feels grateful for.

CHSR News – November 6th, 2024 – Fredericton City Budget To See Decreased Inside Tax Rates, More Frequent Transit Services
Fredericton City Council has agreed, in principle, to a 180-million dollar proposed budget during their last council-in-committee meeting before it goes for an official vote on November 25th.
The city saw a 6.98% assessment base increase in property value over the last fiscal year, 2.3% due to new construction and a 4.68% market assessment increase, which has prompted a proposed 2 cent decrease in the inside residential tax rate, for residents with full access to city services, from 1.3286 to 1.3086 dollars per 100$ in assessed value.
It will also see an increase in transit, with high traffic routes during weekday service being increased to every half hour, and as a result will see increases in rates for four-hour parking meters and both hourly and monthly parking rates in the city’s garages and car parks.
Listen to hear more details on the budget as a whole and the impending changes.
