St. George Gives Back!

Because so many communities from across the country came together to help Charlotte County during the December flooding, St. George has decided to pay it forward.

"St. George Gives Back" is a fundraiser being held this Saturday, to raise funds for Manitoba flood victims in their time of need.

The concert, featuring local talent, will be held at the Magaguadavic Place from 6-9pm.

Construction in St. Stephen

Summer isn't over until the detour signs are down.

From Monday, September 12 until Friday, September 30, there will be no through traffic, to allow for infrastructure upgrades.  

Could the measles virus be key in the fight against cancer?

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is reporting a promising new development has been discovered in Atlantic Canada at Dalhousie Medical School.

A study done by Researcher Dr. Christopher Richardson indicates cancer cells are vulnerable to the measles virus.

This could mean the measles virus might be used successfully to eradicate cancer tumours and, in the long-term, a vaccine could potentially be developed to treat cancer patients.

Local Firefighter Going Airborne

It's a bird, it's a plane... no, it's our local Fire Department.

The St. Stephen Fire Department's Annual Bucket Sit kicks off this weekend at the Atlantic Superstore... with firefighter Merton Lewis spending 50 hours in a bucket truck, 50 feet in the air.

The fundraiser is to raise money for specialized rescue equipment.

With supporters purchasing each rung of Merton's escape ladder for $50.

Lewis hits the clouds today at 4pm.
