On this week’s show, there was a rescue of several dolphins on the shores of Digby recently. We get details from Tonya Wimmer of the Marine Animal Response Society.

We also hear from 104-year-old Second World War veteran Jim McRae, and how he was celebrated leading up to Remembrance Day last week.

And we profile “Groundhog Night”, Shubenacadie Sam’s Shadow,’ a new children’s book by Valley-based artist Doretta Groenendyk.
