Originally from Quebec, with a Maritimer father, Lynn Calder quickly found a second home in Nova Scotia when she came to Acadia University in 1977.
After a career that has taken her around Canada, Lynn now lives in Pincher Creek, Alberta. But a piece of her heart remains here in Nova Scotia. Today, Lynn joins the podcast to tell Sean not just about that connection, but also the things that keep her coming back to Nova Scotia all these years later.
And one of those things is her involvement in community campaigns in a part of the province many people living here still haven't visited. She is actively involved in the efforts along the French Shore to preserve impressive heritage churches - in particular, the stunning Saint Bernard Church in Digby County. She tells us today about this important fundraising campaign that ends soon and why it's important to preserve this cornerstone of the community.
