A total solar eclipse will pass over Northumberland County on April 8. Residents will experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch this unique phenomenon. The last one took place nearly 400 years ago, and it will be another 400 years before it happens again.
On today’s show, Rick Stankiewicz, publicity director for the Peterborough Astronomical Association, will walk us through a total solar eclipse. He will explain what it is, where it will occur, and how to watch it safely. As someone who has watched a total solar eclipse before, he says it will be an awesome experience.
Next, you will learn more about the Cobourg economy. The town’s economic development manager, Daniel Van Kampen, recently released its annual report. You will learn more about what he and his team do to bring industry, services, and retail to the town and what he hopes to achieve during the upcoming year.
