A new report suggests that investing in Atlantic Canada’s music scene could mean profits for the region as a whole. The report calling for a comprehensive Atlantic music strategy was presented at the East Coast Music Awards in Saint John, New Brunswick. It says the East Coast’s music industry is hindered by a lack of infrastructure, stringent liquor laws and restrictions on live venues. The report recommends creating an Atlantic Canadian Music Fund to finance creativity in the region.

Fire Destroys Fredericton Home
The cause of a fire that tore through a mini-home in New Brunswick is under investigation. The Fredericton Fire Department was called to a smoke-filled house on the city’s south side on Friday. Platoon Captain Mike Mizner says a resident and her dog made it out of the building safely before fire crews arrived. Mizner says no one was hurt in the fire, but the residence was badly damaged.
