AN ANNUAL flower and produce show went ahead at the weekend with plenty of awards given out to contestants. The Burton Bradstock Flower and Produce Show took place for the first time in two years at the Burton Bradstock Village Hall on Saturday, July 17. Despite initial concerns over how well the event would be supported, there was an excellent level of entries for the 69 different categories of fruit, vegetables, arts and crafts, preserves, cookery and photography. The Burton Bradstock Village Society, the group charged with putting on the show, was also very pleased with the attendance on the day. Cups for the various categories were presented by society chairman, Peter Broomhead, in the Rectory Garden to allow for distancing.
FinTech startups frustrated with glacial pace of Canada’s open banking consultations

“It was very exciting to see such a focus on both the consumer and the small business and innovation,” she said. “To see the purpose was to not only protect the consumers but give them access to innovative products in a safe way, I thought that was super exciting.”
Roughly four months and one federal budget later, there’s a big asterisk to her optimism.
