The Lunchbox 2020-08-26: Sasha French

On the show:

  • It was Webmistress Day, so I hope you celebrated the women who make the web.
  • I had an opportunity share a thunderstorm with Sasha French in Odell Park on Tuesday to talk about her painting and other arts as part of her residency.
  • And, maybe inspired by the rain, I rolled out an interview from 2016 with Rachel Watters, a painter who was in residency in the Barracks that summer.

News update:

  • New Brunswick Public Health reported one new case of COVID-19 yesterday afternoon.
  • Provincial party leaders continue to make whistle-stop tours yesterday as they gear up for next month’s snap election.
  • It’s game on for school sports and other clubs as long as the province stays within the yellow phase.
  • The Grand Bay-Westfield RCMP is investigating after shots were fired at a vehicle last Friday.
