On today’s show: Sackville resident Penny Mott is part of a group of seniors concerned about the climate crisis and planning to show that concern in a rally and awareness event on Tuesday in Sackville. “Many of us are sitting in our homes and we’re distressed about with the dramatic climatic changes we’re experiencing,” says Mott. That’s why Mott is helping organize a Seniors For Climate event at the Bill Johnstone Memorial Park on Tuesday, October 1st, from 11am to 1pm. The event is open to all ages, and will also include an opportunity to learn about green burials.

Plus in briefs: The department of transportation and infrastructure says repairs to the overpass at exit 504 will happen later this fall, and some local names have made the nomination list for Music New Brunswick’s 2024 awards.
