The Tide's 8th Annual Marathon Food Drive

The 8th Annual Tide's Marathon Food Drive held over the weekend with our live broadcast from the Alantic Superstore brought in more than 1300 pounds of food and almost 900 dollars in cash.... This food will help feed the families that count on The Charlotte County food bank. Local community groups and businesses and town officials all came together to make the Food Drive a “huge success... Last year's years drive collected more than nine hundred pounds of food and over seventeen hundred in cash.

High Tides in St. Stephen

With the recent full moon on Saturaday night brought tides reaching the top of the wharf in St. Stephen over the weekend. Tides are influenced by the regular fluctuations in gravitational pulls caused by the sun and moon. One hundred billion tonnes of water flows into and out of the Bay on an average tide, twice a day, creating rip-currents, seething up-wellings, swirling whirlpools and a tidal range reaching 16m (53 ft) at the head of the Bay.
