Husband, dad, big sails & practical history of coastal NS.

I'm giving a talk on Friday March 14 about the history of fog in Atlantic Canada @smuarts.bsky.social The stories people tell today about fog echo centuries of evocative sensory descriptions and emotional narratives, showing us how fog has always shaped daily life and culture along these coasts ☁️

Fogs love this shore: Living with Fog in Atlantic Canada, by Dr. Sara Spike, Instructor, Department of History, Dalhousie University. March 14, 2025. 2-4pm. Room MN 219.
