The Day Karma Didn't Come Around

27 minutes

A beautiful summer day on the lake turns into a troubling mystery with a tragic ending. In this episode we tell the story of the day Collingwood was rocked by the sudden loss of eight young men and women, and the response of the community to a shared grief.

Following the story we invite the listeners to join us in all the activities we have planned for May is Museum month. From Our Climate Quest, to Blue Mountain Pottery and Staff Picks, we have brand new and exciting exhibits for you to come and see and enjoy. See our Facebook page and Museum newsletter for more information. And on International Museum Day, Saturday May 18 the Museum will have free admission, so there is no excuse not to celebrate with us! We look forward to seeing you soon.
