This was an utterly fantastic documentary by @phliscbc today on Atlantic Voice. Perhaps a story on the Baille Ard Trail hemlocks in Cape Breton and the controversial water management system being built throughout the trail could be considered.
Give a listen to this doc piece.

@franeymountain Thanks Paul. It was a great pleasure to be on this trip with these passionate volunteers.

Wearing good quality, well fitting masks, ensuring good ventilation if indoors, maintaining distance & being vaccinated are the best ways to protect against this airborne virus. #OmicronVariant is very transmissible & we all need to be extra careful now @DrTedros @PeterASinger

@KaylaHounsell @AforAdventure @infomorning It was life-changing... I couldn't believe they had day jobs and this is what they did before the workday started :)

91-year-old Ernest Partridge says the dykes along the Upper Bay of Fundy are constantly in need of repair. Depending on the storm, the dykes are not always high enough to fight back the ocean – and that will become increasingly true as sea levels rise.
