scroogey.jpgWe invite you to celebrate the journey of Ebenezer Scrooge with CBC Cape Breton!

We follow the conversion of a "squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner" into "as good a man as the good old city knew".

All with the help of Winnie & Patricia Chafe, Godsent, Breagh MacKinnon, and the Cape Breton Orchestra!

Our readers are Steve Sutherland, Jim St. Clair, Hal Higgins, Peggy MacDonald - and guest reader, Dave Dingwall.

It's CBC Cape Breton's annual dramatic reading of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", in support of Feed Nova Scotia - Sunday, November 29th, at the Joan Harriss Cruise Pavilion.

The journey starts at 7:30 PM        ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Glace Bay Flag in Afghanistan

Members of the Canadian Forces currently deployed as part of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan take a few moments to demonstrate their hometown pride.  The three descendants from Glace Bay are a testament that wherever you go in this world, you are bound to run into a Cape Bretoner.  This photo was taken during a resupply mission to one of the Forward Operating Bases.  The exceedingly rare flag of the old town of Glace Bay was tracked down with the help of CBC listener Betty Crocker from Mira, after Warrant Officer Jessome issued a plea via the Information Morning airwaves.
