At the August 12, 2019 Regular Council Meeting By-law 19-06, A BY-LAW RELATING TO A TOURISM ACCOMMODATION LEVY IN THE TOWN OF SAINT ANDREWS was Introduced for First Reading.

This By-law is on the Agenda to be discussed at the Special Meeting of Council on Monday, November 18 at 6:00 p.m.

The New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) St. Andrews campus is actively seeking additional housing options for their upcoming academic year.

The NBCC St. Andrews campus has a forecast of 67 international students and 145 domestic students (local and non-local), for a total of 212 first year, full-time students attending the St. Andrews campus in the fall. Given the current availability of rentals in town, there is a sense of urgency to seek out additional housing options, as the majority of known rentals are already occupied or are unavailable during the required time frame (September 1st or earlier to roughly the middle/end of June).

If you have a room(s) that you would be willing to open up to incoming NBCC students, please reach out to Brittany Locking, 529-5699, brittany.locking@nbcc.ca for more information.
