Propane concerns for new school
Posted by Bill van Asperen
In 2012, a propane leak at the Irving-owned facility on Allen street in Charlottetown once again raised concerns about whether such a facility should be moved out of the residential area. City and provincial politicians said it should be re-located to the industrial park. But that didn't happen.
There are renewed concerns now that Immanuel Christian school recently announced plans to move directly across the street from the propane plant. Our Associate Producer Lindsay Carroll joined us in the studio.

Laura Chapin explains and spoke with Dr. Heather Morrison, PEI's Chief Public Health Officer.

Storm Bound - Interviews, Calls and Emails
Posted by Bill van Asperen
Yesterday it was safer to just stay inside. High winds, blowing snow and white-out conditions made the couch look that much more appealling. In fact, the 53 centimetres of snowfall shattered the snowfall record of 34 centimetres set on March 14th, 1967. CBC's Robyn Miller got in touch with some storm bound islanders to see how they spent the snowy day.
