Mayors, wardens and councillors from across the province are coming to Yarmouth.

The spring conference of the Nova Scotia Federation of Municipalities takes place at the Rodd Grand Hotel April 29 to May 1.

Yarmouth mayor Pam Mood is excited for the area to host.

She expects provincial budget cuts to be a topic.

“How do we manage? Because budgets have been cut. What are other municipalities doing? That’s a benefit of conferences like this, and we do it twice a year, we learn from each other,” said mayor Mood.

Some agenda items include success stories, stormwater strategies, an update on a policing review and the use of AI.

“You don’t have to be right next door to each other to benefit from what other units are doing. We’re looking at the best way forward for what we’re all going through right now.”

Mood hopes all local councillors take part.

“We’re thrilled to have our colleagues in Yarmouth, and we’ll get to discuss all the big issues right here at home.”
