Nineties with a Smile

For the past two years, Barry Le Blanc in the Baie des Chaleurs has made it his mission to make people over the age of 90 laugh... and snap a picture of them while he's at it. Barry tells us more about this series of portraits he has called "Nineties with a Smile." We also meet one of his subjects, 92-year-old Rosaire Bujold, who lives in Maria. The series will be on display at the Cascapedia River Museum from July 31st until August 12th. Listen here.

The city of Gaspé and the vigilance committee that monitors the York River say the run-off coming from the landfill is not causing significant contamination. Benjamin Gagnon, a biologist and assistant manager of the Société de gestion des rivières de Gaspé, tells us more. Listen here.
