Dear residents of Sussex,

Message from the Mayor

Welcome to the Town’s 2024 Summer Newsletter.

Your Council has been hard at work to develop our 2024 summer programming and in kind services to support those events scheduled in our Town in 2024, all provided by our various community partners. Our community team has an exciting summer schedule for residents of all ages to enjoy and the exciting newsletter information to keep everyone up to date with information on what is special about Sussex.

Our community organizations and their dedicated volunteers are hard at work to provide another successful year in 2024. In June we have programming scheduled at many of the Town’s venues. Sussex Rotary Brewfest is on tap at the 8th Hussars on June 15th, and Sussex SummerFEST is bringing lots of live music to the PLP Showcentre on June 13-15. We have a full event schedule in June 2024 for all to enjoy. This summer whether it is baseball, softball, canine agility trials, tennis, pickleball and all the various equestrian recreation opportunities our Town is pleased to offer this programming in Sussex. The Town has a fun filled Canada Day program set for our residents to enjoy on July 1st. We will celebrate New Brunswick Day on August 5th at O’Connell Park. The annual Flea market on the 3rd weekend of August 2024 and the planning of the 37th edition of the Atlantic International Balloon Fiesta is well underway.

Our partner events with the Sussex Downtown Business Association are now set for 2024. We hope you enjoy all the scheduled programing. All of this can’t be done without the many hundreds of local volunteers contributing to exciting events in Sussex and Sussex Council thanks all the wonderful volunteers in Sussex who provide this depth of schedule in 2024.

Enjoy your summer in Sussex!

Staying connected with our residents is important and why Sussex is utilizing Voyent Alert as a tool to keep you informed! Through this alert system, we provide a range of notices that include both major emergency events such as flood risk notices, and day-to-day communications such as road maintenance and closures, water advisories, and other types of notices that are important to know as a community. These enriched alerts contain essential safety information, including outlined maps of affected areas, and direct routes to safety locations.

Voyent Alert keeps you safe, alert, and informed of local events and disruptions that can reduce confusion and help you to make better, more informed decisions. With multiple notification options such as text, call, email, and app notification, you can choose to stay informed how you want to, when you want to.

Building Permits & Dog Tags

Small town, big growth! Sussex continues to see positive change and development! The steady growth shows promise for continued potential. So far this year, there have been permits issued valued at $6,837,506.00 for renovations, repairs, alterations, and additions to local properties, bettering our community! Are home renovation projects on your horizon? Property owners and residents looking to perform interior or exterior work, add fencing, a new heat pump, or add a shed to their property will require a permit. Having a building permit ensures the safety of the workers and residents by ensuring that your project meets the requirements of the National Building Code. The fee for a permit is $25.00 for the first $1000 of the estimated project cost, and then an additional $3 for every $1000 thereafter. For more information on building permits visit www.sussex.ca.

Having pets as family members reflects a deep understanding of the emotional, social, and practical roles that pets play in our everyday lives. Having your pet licensed and wearing a tag is an important part of pet care and can help ensure their safety and well-being as well as the safety and well being of other pets in our community. Residents are encouraged to license their dogs and cats by March 31 of each calendar year, to ensure that information is current and correct in the event that a beloved furry friend needs to be reunited with their family. To register your cat or dog with the Town, you can visit Town Hall and show proof of current immunizations for distemper and rabies. The owners’ contact information, and the pets identifying features will also be requested. The fee for a dog that is altered (altered meaning Neutered/Spayed) is $11.00/yr, and non-altered dogs are $22.00/yr,. The fee for an altered cat is $6.00/yr, and non-altered is $12.00/yr. This fee includes a pet tag with a tag number unique to your pet.

For more information call Town Office at (506) 432-4540, or refer to the Animal Control By-Law, By-Law #250-11 or Sussex Building By-Law, By-Law #151-23, located on our website www.sussex.ca.
