This week, Kate talks about how summer is special and how a couple of Haliburton County traditional summer events were just the thing to lift winter-weary spirits. Plus, Paul brings a sad story from the months leading up to WW2 when a ship-load of 937 German-Jewish refugees sailed across the Atlantic in the MV St Louis to a hoped-for sanctuary in North America, only to be turned away - including by Canada - and forced to return to Europe with tragic consequences for many of the passengers.
