Tomorrow is Purple Day...Please show your support!


From the Purpleday website: Founded in 2008, by nine-year-old Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia, Canada, with the help of the Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia, Purple Day is an international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. On March 26, people from around the globe are asked to wear purple and spread the word about epilepsy.


Why? Epilepsy affects over 50 million people worldwide. That's more than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and Parkinson's disease combined.


Why purple? Lavender is the international colour for epilepsy.
Getting involved is easy. Wear purple and encourage others to do the same.


Michelle Coole will join me on the Early Show tomorrow morning at 7:35 and let us know how we can get involved here in the Valley!

Out with the Old...and In with the New...



With the opening of the Kings Mutual Century Centre this fall, we say good-bye to the Berwick Arena next Monday, March 29th, the last full day of operation. You're invited to skate anytime between 8am and 8pm that day. Admission is free, and a closing ceremony is planned for 7pm with special dignitaries. It'll be the last ice activity for the Berwick Arena. It'll be a great way to say good-bye to "an old friend".

Follow the progress of the new Kings Mutual Century Centre here...http://kmccberwick.ca/

Talk about a "Cookie-Woofin"

The Newfoundland Ferry

This is a video of the ferry (The Caribou) operating between Port Aux Basques, Newfoundland, and North Sydney, Nova Scotia.

As you watch, remember that this is a ferry that carried 1200 passengers, with two vehicle decks holding 370 automobiles, and 77 tractor trailers.

They all made it to Port Aux Basques, but we are not sure in what condition!
