Shift (NB)

Mark Trealout is busy canning these days. We'll visit his farm in Keswick Ridge.

Cultural commentator Lisa Hrabluk is at TIFF and she says it's about mush more than stars and red carpets. She fills us in on the business of film festivals 

Monarch butterflies are on the move and once again volunteers with the Saint John Naturalist Club are tagging them at Point Lepreau. While they've only just begun the work, it's already clear it's a better year for the butterflies than last summer. We speak with Jim Wilson. 

Many of us miss out on sleep during the week and try to make up for it by sleeping in on the weekend. A new study looks at this strategy’s impact on cardiovascular risk. Dr. Iris Gorfinkel shares the details. 

With just 6 weeks to go before the provincial election, we'll gather our panel of politics watchers. They'll look at the promises made so far, and set the stage for the coming weeks.

Alain Clavette takes us along on his annual pelagic tour in the Bay of Fundy.

A family from Jasper, Alberta, have found themselves in Saint John while they wait for things to settle back home. We check in with Megan LeBlanc about their experience with the wildfires.

This week on What's Cooking, we're focused on a meal - lunch. For some lunch ideas now that school is back in session, we've reached Chef Yves Deschaines. He runs the cooking programs at Greener Village in Fredericton.

There are a few whales in trouble in the Bay of Fundy right now. A beloved humpback named Chevron has been spotted entangled in gear. And two small minke whales have gotten themselves caught in a fishing weir. The Campobello Whale Rescue Team has been called in to help in both situations. Mackie Greene is the team's director.

Pam Novak has been busy releasing some of the orphaned animals they've raised over the summer, and prepping the Atlantic Wildlife Institute for the fall migration mishaps.
