Digital Writers
Friday, May 7th 2021, 7:44 pm - The East Coast is in the middle of a stormy period just now, with a brief dry period to start the weekend ahead of the next soggy round.
Though high pressure kept Atlantic skies mostly clear to close out the weekend, the clouds return Saturday ahead of a system that will bring abundant showers, heaviest in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Beyond, more unsettled weather beckons for the region next week. For a more detailed look, see below.

The Main River was designated a Canadian Heritage River in 2001 for its pristine watershed and old-growth forest. In 2009, it became a provincial park.(Submitted by Lem Mayo)
Gary Gale has known the Main River his whole life and how special the Northern Peninsula waterway, and the land surrounding it, is. I ve fished and hiked the Main, God since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, I suppose, he told CBC from his home in Hampden.
The Main River is about as remote as it gets in Newfoundland. You can see the mouth of it, where it spills into White Bay between the two communities of Sop s Arm and Pollard s Point, but there was no road access into its watershed whatsoever until the mid-1980s, and even then, nothing beyond rough woods roads.

Artists Brady Marks and Mark Timmings invite you to connect to the 24-hour circadian rhythm of the ṮEḴTEḴSEN marsh in unceded W̱SÁNEĆ territory on Saturna Island, British Columbia. The beautiful and complex soundscape features birds, frogs, airplanes and more. The broadcast engages listeners in real time and promotes a deeper awareness of, and a re enchanted engagement with, the living environment. The slow radio format creates an immersive sonic space to contemplate what it means to be human in the “more-than-human world.” The artists hope that it will also encourage listeners to reflect on what it means to listen in contested indigenous lands. The broadcast is a call to action to advocate for environmental protection, support the settlement of land claims, hold leaders accountable for the climate catastrophe. And save a wetland near you.

NL s beautiful icebergs are a bad sign , officials say
vendredi, 24 mai 2019 à 14:50 - We will see more of that, more multi-year ice that is separating and coming south .
The federal minister of environment and climate change is sounding the alarm on how climate change could impact Newfoundland and Labrador. I know everyone s looking at the icebergs that you can see off the coast that may be nice, may be a good tourist attraction, but it s also very dangerous, said Catherine McKenna, who was in St. John s on Thursday. And we will see more of that, more multi-year ice that is separating and coming south. That s an issue for folks who are out on the waters.
