Her enthusiasm for seeing the wonders of the province and bringing others here to also experience it is infectious. Follow her journeys and shared images about New Brunswick on Instagram with the hashtag #revelationnb or on her website, RevelationNB.com.
  • Positive Songs For Pandemics is coming to a close! But Lainie B from Monday night’s B Street will be bringing more music in the future. Today, she highlights the brand-new song by local singer-songwriter Colin FowlieSomebody’s Favourite Song.
  • And when you think about it, many love songs can also be about falling in love with the place you’re in. That’s why I chose Be With Your from well-known performer David Myles.
  • Water levels are rising up and down the Saint John river, and with the rain over the next few days, several places might reach the flood level stage. Please be careful, and be prepared!
