Accountant to oversee merger of Hantsport, N.S., with neighbouring community
– canadianbusiness.com
HANTSPORT, N.S. – Nova Scotia’s minister of municipal affairs has appointed a veteran chartered accountant to oversee the merger of the town of Hantsport with a neighbouring municipality.
Mark Furey says John Morash will oversee the process and guide discussions for the town to become part of the Municipality of West Hants or the Municipality of the County of Kings.
The merger is expected to take effect April 15.
Hantsport is among several Nova Scotia towns that have voted to dissolve their municipal status due to financial difficulties over the past year.
Hantsport Mayor Rob Zwicker says he’s confident Morash’s experience guiding a similar merger in the past will assist his town.
Morash co-ordinated the amalgamation of Queens County with the Town of Liverpool from 1995 to 1996.

Stephen C. Host/CPAs residents of Lac-Mégantic, Que., prepare for the immense task of rebuilding a downtown obliterated by an oil-filled runaway train that killed 47 people last summer, they are grappling with progress of a different sort: the realization that trains filled with crude oil will once more be trundling through the centre of town.
Days after Quebec police charged three former Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway employees in the deadly derailment of a train carrying 72 cars of crude oil between North Dakota and New Brunswick in July, the railway’s new owner announced it hoped to resume shipping crude oil within 18 months. “The railway is important to the community, people, jobs and commerce,” John Giles, CEO of the newly rechristened Central Maine and Quebec Railway—purchased in May for $17 million by a New York investment firm—told the Associated Press.
