Our birder Alain Clavette is gearing up for this weekend's October Big Day. It's an event where birders attempt to spot as many species as they can in one day. Alain speaks to an organizer.

The Restigouche region is the latest to consider a switch from RCMP to a local police force --- joining Greater Moncton in that conversation.

Our resident birder is going nocturnal this time, with a fall trip to Grand Manan Island.

We gather our political panel. This week, the unofficial kickoff of the election was felt in ways big and small in this province. We'll reflect on it.
