There's interest in possibly amalgamating some municipal units in West Hants. The area chamber of commerce has called upon a veteran of the process for some information and guidance. The West Hants Chamber of Commerce has arranged for former District of Queens Mayor John Leefe to address a special meeting. The former mayor will share his experiences with amalgamating the various arms of government into one in Queens County back in 1996. He says it helped simplify the process of government.
The Town of Windsor has already said amalgamation might be an alternative action if suitable cost-sharing arrangements are not realized with the Municipality of West Hants. The amalgamation information meeting is set for tonight (Wednesday) starting at 6:30 at the Hants County War Memorial Community Centre in Windsor. There will be no admission charged.
