New era for local greenhouse operation as co-op launches social enterprise

An open house is taking place at a nursery in Middle Sackville on Saturday to mark the beginning of a new era for a local gardening institution. 

Former Anderson’s greenhouse operators Heather and Blane Smith announced last year they would retire after 37 years operating the nursery. 

Then, in November, Heather Kristine Smith – née Heather Anderson – died at the age of 64. 

Open Sky Co-operative – a group that works with neurodivergent young adults at an 11-acre farm, also located in Middle Sackville – is part of an effort to keep the greenhouses running. 

Listen to the report from CHMA:

The group has launched a social enterprise that’s meant to create a new source of revenue for Open Sky, while also providing its participants with new opportunities.

Sam Bliss was the first-ever summer student at Open Sky. He’s now in his ninth season working at the greenhouse operation, and is coordinating the program.

“Everything’s sort of come full circle for me,” he said, while giving CHMA a tour of one of the greenhouses.

“My dream was always to open my own greenhouse, and knowing the folks at Open Sky really helped,” he said.

He’s working with participants from Open Sky, along with fellow greenhouse worker Jess Paget, who has been working there for the past two seasons.… Continue

Some students snub former diplomat honoured by Mount Allison; Lyons responds, says work ‘misunderstood’

In a silent protest during this week’s convocation ceremonies, some Mount Allison graduates turned their backs on a former high-ranking Canadian diplomat as she received an honorary degree from the university. 

Deborah Lyons, Canada’s former ambassador to Israel and Afghanistan — and former head of a UN mission to Afghanistan — received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Mount Allison on Monday. 

She also gave a speech to the graduating class, saying her actions as ambassador and UN mission leader had been “misunderstood.” The speech can be viewed in full here

Critics accuse Lyons of whitewashing human rights violations by the State of Israel and fault her for cooperating with the Taliban while Afghanistan collapsed in 2021. 

As she delivered her speech on Monday, a number of students rose from their seats and turned away from the stage, according to people who were present at Convocation Hall. 

“As you may know, and as may be obvious at the moment, there are some students and faculty who aren’t so happy that I’m speaking to you today,” Lyons said in her remarks. 

In video from the event, someone can be heard heckling Lyons at the beginning of her speech, prompting scattered applause.

Protesters aren’t visible in the video but photos from the event appear to show at least 30 people standing with their backs turned against the stage. … Continue
