It was a great night in Tantramar celebrating the six new inductees of the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame.

The gala honours our province’s very best athletes and builders while inspiring the next generation to achieve excellence in sports. Through the stories of the men and women inducted over the last 54 years, the province’s sporting culture and heritage is preserved.

I enjoyed running into Tantramar Mayor Andrew Black and Sussex native and Hall of Famer Mike Eagles.
