    To commemorate the victims of the terrible incident in Nova Scotia, we are joining with radio station and churches across the country in ringing 22 bells for the 22 victims. We will return for an hour to our regular programming, and then will be simulcasting the vigil at approximately 7:01pm tonight. Please join us in gathering virtually to honour those who have passed.

  • ANIMARITIMES 2020 postponed to 2021 (originally, June 26-28, 2020)
    “It is with great disappointment that we must announce the postponement of Animaritime 2020: Magical Girls until 2021. This announcement was difficult to make but the decision was made with your safety in mind. Though we hoped that it would not have to happen; the safety of our attendees, our staff, and everyone involved in making Animaritime must come first. 

    You probably have a lot of questions, and we do as well as we are still sorting out what all this means, but being transparent is also really important.”
  • New Brunswick fairs and exhibitions suspended for 2020
    The New Brunswick Fairs and Exhibitions Association has announced that all events scheduled for 2020 are suspended because of the situation surrounding COVID-19.Mike Vokey, President of the association: “The decision to pause was difficult but essential to protect the health and safety of our producers, our volunteers and the public. All the fairs across the province agreed that we need to do our part in limiting the spread of this virus.”

    Includes: the NBEX, Stanley Fair

  • Annual Spring Yard Cleanup Program Dates Announced
    The City of Fredericton’s annual “Spring Yard Cleanup” program happening during the weeks of April 27 to May 1 and May 11 to May 15. 
    The program is not for pickup of items such as furniture, stoves, refrigerators, bedsprings and mattresses, or residue from major tree removal or significant clearing operations.

    If in doubt about what can be collected, or for more information, visit www.fredericton.ca/springcleanup or contact Service Fredericton at 506-460-2020 or service@fredericton.ca before placing material at the curb.
  • UNB nursing grads join the COVID-19 fight
    Fourth-year nursing students from the University of New Brunswick graduated earlier than usual this year to allow them to join the fight against COVID-19.

 

  • Restaurants and local shops are not doing so well right now. There is a serious risk that many of these local, independent shops and food sellers might not be able to survive the extended period of slowdown that we need to endure right now. So, I encourage you to find out if your favourite restaurant has delivery available and order at least one meal once a week, if you can afford it. If they don’t have delivery, see if they have a gift card. Similarly, some of the local shops might now deliver, and they could use your business.  Finally, if you can’t afford to support them financially directly, why not let your friends know why you love the stores and restaurants so much, on social media. Tourism Fredericton has a great page listing local businesses that you can order from and support right now
  • Living Rooms Concert Series, April 26
    Each Sunday will have 10 acts performing 30-45 min each 4 PM- 9 PM.

The Lunchbox 2020-04-22: Happy Earth Day

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

On today’s show:

  • CHSR will be offering free advertising to local businesses in the Fredericton area that have been negatively impacted by the current pandemic. To participate, send a message including the name of the business and what services are available during the social distancing era to advertising@chsrfm.ca .
  • Out of the Cold Shelter needs towels. There is an URGENT and IMMEDIATE need for towels at the Out of The Cold Shelter in Fredericton. Since moving its operations from Brunswick Street to the Fredericton High School the number of homeless guests has more than doubled. The supply of 30+ towels brought to FHS from the Shelter is grossly inadequate for the 60+ guests.

    If you have any “usable” towels you are willing to donate please place them in a plastic bag and drop them off OUTSIDE the front doors of the Oromocto Baptist Church. They will be picked up daily, laundered and cycled into the rotations at FHS.

    The greatest need is bath towels but hand towels and face cloths would also be put to good use.
  • Interview: Richard Hornsby, on Remembering the Great War Through Music (2016)
  • Interview: Lois Macdonald-Laden, Felt Artist, recorded at the Odell Park Lodge (2019)

  • Fredericton Chamber of Commerce has released the application form for their scholarship. The deadline is May 29th at 4:00 PM.

  • Imagining the Green New Deal – Thursday, April 23, 8pm
    Join the Council of Canadians Fredericton Chapter in imagining a Green New Deal. In this session we will look at a few bold proposals for real transformations in our response to COVID-19, and in our public services.

    You’ll hear from George Nickerson from Fredericton Local 054 of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers about their campaign called Delivering Community Power, which proposes to vastly reshape the services of Canada Post to include postal banking, clean energy generation, seniors’ care, and a made-in-Canada electric fleet of vehicles. 

    Green Jobs Oshawa organizer Rebecca Keetch will address her group’s bold and urgent proposal to retool the mostly vacant GM factory in Oshawa, Ontario, so it can produce medical equipment immediately, and over the longer term transition to manufacturing electric vehicles.

    We need to start imagining how we can rebuild our post-pandemic society so that it works for everyone and the planet. We can start now by supporting these two exciting proposals and start to think about creating our own bold proposals in our communities.

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

On the show:

  • NOTABLE ACTS PLAYWRITING CONTEST DEADLINE APPROACHING AND DRAMATURGE IN RESIDENCE ANNOUNCED

    “There’s just [a few days] remaining before the deadline for this year’s NotaBle Acts playwriting contest (April 23 for the regular contest, May 22 for the school categories). While we are currently living in uncertain times due to the coronavirus, our contest is still on and operating as per usual. It’s too soon to predict how the pandemic might affect plans for this year’s summer festival, but perhaps the most important work that NotaBle Acts does takes place behind the scenes and out of the spotlight: the play development process that pairs our playwriting contest winners with one of Canada’s leading playwrights every year, allowing emerging playwrights to have their scripts mentored by an experienced professional. This is work that can take place under any conditions, including the physical distancing realities now in place, and therefore will proceed no matter what happens this summer.

    To that end, NotaBle Acts is thrilled to announce that our 2020 Playwright/Dramaturge in Residence, joining us through the generosity of artsnb‘s Artist in Residence program, will be Vern Thiessen. Based in Edmonton, Vern is one of Canada’s most acclaimed and accomplished playwrights, as well as an experienced dramaturge, director, actor, and theatre educator. Read more about Vern below, and for everything you need to know about our playwriting contest, check out the information elsewhere on this site. We look forward to receiving your plays soon!”

  • Alexandre Silberman, as part of his STU Journalism program, created this documentary on the impact of COVID-19 on the province.

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

Hello again from the den of the ever-sick! My voice still comes and goes and I’m largely just composed of halls and coughing, so forgive me for not talking much on this week’s episode – not that I usually say much anyway.

Regardless, we’re still exploring some new releases and I’m still digging through bandcamp. Got any suggestions? Let me know what I should be playing! Let me know what you’re listening to! Or don’t.

Playlist:
Don’t Look Back – The Dyadics
Shoulda Listened To Ya – Diemonds
Battered & Bruised – Freeways
Locomotive – Tzimani
Living For The Fight – Orc
Colours / Modern Panic – Deaf Radio
Broken Man’s Mind – Sandveiss
Depress Mode – Worse
Rattle My Brain – Powder for Pigeons
Primitive Data – Puta Volcano
Waiting – Chron Goblin
Breakaway – Tsunami Bomb
