Yarmouth Mayor Pam Mood is reflecting on a busy 2022.

She says Phase One of renovations to the Yarmouth ferry terminal, along with the return of the service was huge for the area.

Mood says one of her highlights is the town population growing by five percent.

“Our population in Yarmouth hasn’t gone up since the early 1990s, that’s hundreds more people that are making Yarmouth their home. We’re doing everything right that way, and setting the table,” says Mood.

She says council has also been focused on the Active Transportation Trail, which has connected one part of town to the other.

Looking ahead to 2023, Mood says she’d like to focus on the waterfront, the housing crisis and mental health services in the community.

“It’s not our job to find housing, but how can we work towards more? What kind of plan can we get in place? We’ve always looked at that, we just have to really dig in and figure this piece out.”
