This week on Crafting the Case, we take a poignant turn toward home as we revisit the 1917 coal mining explosion in New Waterford, Nova Scotia — a tragedy that claimed lives, shook our community, and shaped local history. As we carefully craft the details of this historic event, we also reach the final brushstrokes of our third paint-by-numbers piece, finding quiet moments of reflection in every color.

Join us as we balance soot with strokes — weaving memory, mourning, and maybe a little mischief into a hometown case that’s close to our hearts.
