Last week, we sat down with Jesse Van Gestel, owner of Wolfville’s newest café “Charts” to get to know him and his café a little better. Off the beaten path, Charts Café is a travel-inspired, casual, professional and intimate gathering […]
Over the past few days, StFX University has seen a collective resistance arise from students, faculty, alumni, and parents alike, all of whom have been failed, not for the first time, by their university administration. The university’s mishandling of a […]
At the end of this past summer, I went on a 10-day road trip around Nova Scotia with my boyfriend and our cat. We visited Sydney in Cape Breton, Antigonish, and Lunenburg. How did we end up going on a […]
