‘Something has to be done’: Advocacy group launches AC for All campaign

It wasn’t quite as hot in the Greater Moncton area on Wednesday as it was the day before, but the heat did linger. The temperature hit 33.5 C on Tuesday, but it felt like 43 C with the humidex. ACORN, an advocacy group for low to moderate-income people, held a rally in front of an apartment building on St. George Street during the lunch hour. The anti-poverty advocacy group launched its new “AC for All” campaign which is calling on all levels of government to create programs that will ensure low-income families can have access to cooling their homes in an affordable manner.
