Sackville is a small town in the centre of the Maritime provinces with many advantages of a larger city. The town of 5,000 is home to a university, many environmental organisations and a vibrant cultural community.
High speed internet access is available through two providers. An international airport is only 25 minutes away.
Sackville offers small town comforts with many cultural and educational advantages. I think that it's a great place to raise a family.
