It’s something that may very well take you back to the good old days of Prohibition in the roaring 1920’s: dry communities.
Three Nova Scotia Electoral Districts have recently voted in favour of switching from dry to wet areas.
That, according to preliminary numbers from Elections Nova Scotia after three plebiscites were held in both Annapolis and Colchester Counties Tuesday (May 8th, 2018) night.
Spokesperson for Elections Nova Scotia, Andy LeBlanc, tells Acadia News a total of 100 ‘dry’ electoral districts still exist in the province, some of which are right here in the South Shore Region.
“A large part of Queens-Shelburne is listed as dry in one way or the other,” says LeBlanc, adding, “heading up along the shoreline, when you get deeper inland in Lunenburg West and Lunenburg County, there are some dry areas there.”
According to LeBlanc, these dry areas are essentially just leftover municipal districts that have not yet voted in favour of turning into a wet area.
