Keagan Hawthorne is gearing up to take over Gaspereau Press, and bring the esteemed operation to Sackville

On today’s show, we talk with Keagan Hawthorne, founder of The Hardscrabble Press, about his plan to take over beloved Nova Scotia letterpress publisher Gaspereau Press, and move the operation to Sackville. The move is planned for early 2026, and Hawthorne is working with Gaspereau’s founders toward a smooth transition.

Plus in briefs, it’s unofficial Climate Change week in Tantramar, with a Climate Imagination session in Dorchester tonight, and a lunch and town hall on Thursday in Sackville, to discuss actions and solutions to cap emissions and accelerate a transition to cleaner energy.
