Reporter Brett Ruskin will be live at 6/7/8am from in front of the Halifax Memorial Library. The historic and beloved building is closing its doors on Saturday after more than sixty years. Brett will have a look back at the old library and find out how things are coming together for the big move into the new building across the street.

At 6:45 we’ll get some advice on how to eat healthier in the second half of 2014. Health Canada offers tips for healthy lunches.

At 7:15 we take off the big glasses, get rid of the rip-off pants and put down the Rum & Coke as the Trailer Park Boys go out of character to come on our show. Mike Smith (ie Bubbles), JP Tremblay (ie Julian) and Robb Wells (ie. Ricky) have left the set of sunnyvale behind to star in a new movie, SWEARNET, as themselves. The movie is about the guys going out on their own to start a new all-swearing news network and website. The movie opens in Theatres Friday!
