New Salem ballfield opens during surge in minor baseball participation

On today’s show, minor baseball is experiencing an upsurge in participation in Sackville. We head over to a refurbished ballfield behind Salem Elementary School to celebrate the inaugural game on the “Field of Dreams” diamond, funded in part by the Jays Care Foundation. We talk with local baseball rising star Kipling Cober, Sackville Minor Baseball’s Mike Reid, Jays Care director Robert Witchel, Salem principal Ada Phinney, and some of the U10 Sackville Hurricanes, who were excited to break in the new field.

Plus in briefs, a Chignecto Isthmus bill is back in the Senate, the Mount Allison community meets its new Provost candidates this week, and EOS Eco Energy hosts annual meeting in its 20th year.
