I’m really looking forward to the two Sackville Bands playing this Saturday, Dec 13, at Knox United Church. They always have great music and it makes for an enjoyable afternoon.

This is today's map from natural-resources.canada.ca/forest-fores... - The Extreme areas in Nova Scotia have spread, and Lower Sackville has now been added to that. Please stay out of the woods. Until we get significant rain this is only going to get more dangerous.

Please stay out of the woods anywhere in Nova Scotia. This map is from natural-resources.canada.ca/forest-fores... and shows a lot more information on the level of danger. At this point it doesn't look like we'll have any rain for another week, so conditions are expected to get worse.
