The Bridge
with Bob Steele

Yesterday, a band from Victoria B.C. rolled into town bringing with them not only music but a message about sustainability and environmental action. The Mindil Beach Markets Band has taken two things they are passionate about - music and the environment - and packaged them into a show they take to students across Canada. They were invited to Windsor by Unifor's Windsor Regional Environment Council & Churchhouse Productions.
Yesterday, they played before students at Riverside High School. Today, they were at Vincent Massey Secondary and tomorrow they'll play for students at Kingsville high school.
