I'm giving a talk on Friday March 14 about the history of fog in Atlantic Canada @smuarts.bsky.social The stories people tell today about fog echo centuries of evocative sensory descriptions and emotional narratives, showing us how fog has always shaped daily life and culture along these coasts ☁️
Poster for a talk: The Gorsebrook Research Institute for Atlantic Canada Studies, Saint Mary's University. GRI lecture series 2025. Fogs love this shore: Living with Fog in Atlantic Canada, by Dr. Sara Spike, Instructor, Department of History, Dalhousie University. March 14, 2025. 2-4pm. Room MN 219. Contact Mathias.Rodorff@smu.ca for Zoom details.

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

Jim, I’m so sorry to hear the news about your dad. He was an incredible man. I often think of him and his calm presence in my teen years. His demeanor and leadership set a life example for many of us. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

This came home with us the other night from the fundraiser for Christian Herridge at Saltbox Brewery. Tastes as good as it looks!
