May I suggest watching this program, and then dancing off to the Fundy Chorale concert in Digby at 3pm? The title of the performance is called "Dancing Day", after all! (the title of a medley included in the performance).
CBC's Land & Sea: Bay of Fundy episode
Hi there-
I wanted to let you know about Sunday’s episode Land & Sea that may be of interest to you – it’s a feature on the Bay of Fundy. It airs Sunday Nov 21 at noon.
Episode info:
The Bay of Fundy is home to the highest tides in the world. Twice daily a volume of water equal to the flow of all the rivers on the planet enters the Bay. The tides rise 12 to 16 meters - 40 to 50 feet high but it is not only the awesome physical power of the Fundy tides. It's their ability to support the magnificent whales, fascinating seabirds and shorebirds and the rest of the marine life. The Bay is truly one of the natural wonders of the world.
There's no one better to guide us than author and naturalist Harry Thurston. He grew up close to the Bay - he's even written a book about it.
The Bay of Fundy is the only Canadian finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature competition. There are 28 entries - 7 will be chosen. To vote, go to www.new7wonders.com. The winners will be announced November 11, 2011.
Watch Land & Sea, Sunday November 21 at noon on CBC Television. You can also see the show online after the broadcast at http://www.cbc.ca/landandsea/

Was it a UFO? Fire in the Sky Over Nova Scotia
'Huge ball of fire' actually meteor shower, N.S. officials say
By PATRICIA BROOKS ARENBURG and EVA HOARE Staff Reporters | UPDATED 8:13 p.m.
Thu, Nov 18 - 7:06 PM
They feared it was a plane crash but it turned out to be a meteor shower lighting up the night sky.
Early Thursday evening, emergency crews rushed to Nova Scotia’s South Shore after getting reports that a “huge ball of fire” had fallen from the sky near Exit 16 on Highway 103.
RCMP and search and rescue officials were dispatched to the area around Italy Cross.
But after thorough checks, it was determined there had been no plane crash, Scott Burgwin of the Maritimes Search and Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Halifax said in an interview.
“We’re pretty sure there were no aircraft (in the area),” Burgwin said just before 8 p.m. “We think it was some sort of natural phenomenon like a meteor shower.”
The call of the “huge ball of fire” came in around 6:30 p.m. from an ambulance driver in the area, said RCMP Sgt. Brigdit Leger.
Burgwin said co-ordination centre officials checked with Moncton’s air traffic control centre and found that no planes had flight plans for that area, nor did anything show up on radar, Burgwin said.
“We have heard some reports that people saw something,” said Michelle Bishop, spokeswoman for NAV Canada in Ottawa. “We do not have at this time any missing aircraft."
Contacted earlier in the evening, Halifax International Airport Authority officials said there were no reports of any delayed flights, but said that region was outside the agency’s area.
Residents in the area contacted by this newspaper hadn’t heard anything and were curious what was going on. One woman working at a restaurant near Exit 14 said she heard two RCMP cruisers “go flying by here” around 6:45 p.m.
