Sunday Morning Coffee

Sunday morning I usually grab a coffee and take time to catch-up on some stories I may not have had time to read throughout the week.  I thought you might enjoy them with your Sunday morning coffee as well.

Finding friendship

Love this story that CBC put out about some of the friendships growing in Cape Breton.

More than half of the students enrolled at Cape Breton University in Sydney, N.S., come from outside Canada.

The influx in recent years of international students has meant excitement, support and struggle.

It’s also meant friendship. 

Sydney photographer Steve Wadden went in search of connections between international students and Cape Breton locals. He found these stories. 

Caledonia fire chief defiant on proposed new comfort centre rules

Oh dear. This is interesting and unfortunate. My first thought is that there needs to be more communication between the staff and the fire chiefs/stations around this, however….you can not ignore all the work and time that all of our volunteer fire departments dedicate to their communities and the services they are providing.

Living in a rural area, where storms and extended power outages are becoming a bigger issue, I feel security in knowing my local firehall is available as a comfort station during these times. Surely, there must be a common sense solution here.
