On today’s show, it’s almost time for the Sackville Farmers Market to move out of Bill Johnstone Park and on to its winter location, but this year the market board is considering two potential locations: the Sackville Commons on Lorne Street where the market has spent the last few winters, and the Sackville Visitor Information Centre on Mallard Drive, outside of the market’s usual downtown territory.  We talk with market board chair Anthony Maddalena about the decision facing the group.

Plus in briefs, an Amherst man died Wednesday in a vehicle collision on route 16 near Point de Bute, and supports are being offered to Tantramar Regional High School students who may have been affected after two school buses were caught waiting due to the fatal accident on Wednesday.
