On today’s show, nature and literature will be our beat:
We’ll first take a long walk through the Pickard Quarry: a “little pocket” of wilderness in the middle of residential Sackville. And then we’ll have a chat with environmental writer Katharine Fletcher of the Pontiac in Quebec, who has decided to retire from writing her column, after 34 years. And get to learn more about Kingston author Iain Reid who has made the Governor General Literary Awards short list.

Many thanks to our journalists Caleb Nickerson, Christina Lawrie and Erica Butler. To our national coordinators, Maureen McEwan and Victoria Fenner. Host and producer Boris Chassagne. Viewpoints is brought to you by the Community Radio Fund of Canada. Tune in to all our stories on canada-info.ca.
