Due to a scheduling conflict, the next Yarmouth Local 83 information meeting has been moved up one week to Wednesday, November 29 for this month only. Regular time of 6 p.m. at the Rodd Grand Yarmouth.

In response to the questions we have been receiving about the Digby Local 83 information meetings, we will be holding a meeting in Digby (Coastal Inn, 111 Warwick St.) on Thursday, November 30 at 6 p.m. to discuss plans for the information meetings going forward.

A token of appreciation will be given to each member in attendance at these meetings.
