Protect the Wheaton Covered Bridge: Preserve our Heritage

The Issue

The Wheaton Covered Bridge isn't just a passage connecting Sackville to the Tantramar Marshlands. For many of us, it is a symbol of our heritage, an architectural beauty, and a vital link for farmers and local residents. The bridge also holds many memories far and wide, serving as a backdrop to wedding, graduation and family portraits, capturing moments we will cherish forever.

However, it has come to our attention that the Wheaton Covered Bridge is in desperate need of repair. If we ignore this call, we aren't just losing an element of architectural beauty but also a piece of our history and an important route across the Isthmus connecting farmlands and neighbourhoods. 

We appeal to the authorities to take immediate action to save and repair the Wheaton Covered Bridge. It isn't just about preserving a structure, but about protecting a vital route, ensuring the continuation of centuries-old agriculture, and cherishing countless memories associated with it. Please join this plea for preservation. Every voice counts. Sign our petition to save the Wheaton Covered Bridge.
