Flower growers are encouraging people to buy local this Mother’s Day, one of the top selling holidays of the year for florists. Millions of flowers sold over the weekend are from miles away, which is why a new association of flower growers has come to life. Meanwhile, a memorial was held in St. Leonard Borough to honour a pedestrian who was hit by a vehicle last year. Additionally, Canadians were treated to a stunning display of the Northern Lights on Friday night as a strong solar storm hit the Earth. The aurora was seen in dynamic colours across Canada, with the best views being in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
