When most people think of Salvation Army, they think of thrift shopping. But our local Salvation Army in Fort Erie offers so much more. Anne Watters, manager, joins me to discuss the various community services available to residents in our town.

The Fort Erie Podcast is returning for its fourth season of bite-sized weekly episodes, kicking off September 14, 2021. Listeners can expect a number of familiar segments, such as local news headlines, upcoming community events, and a brand new lineup of great local guests. Also, do you enjoy bowling? Because with each new episode this fall, I’ll be giving away a $50 gift certificate to Lucky Stryx. That’s a total of $500 in gift certificates, but you’ll have to tune in each week to win. Check out this short preview of what’s to come.

Yes, there will be a fourth season of The Fort Erie Podcast…I promise. I just don’t know when exactly it will happen. In this short episode, I offer listeners an explanation as to why I am delaying the production and release of season four. Simply put, the provincial stay-at-home order (not to mention the pandemic at large) has made it virtually impossible to cover local news and events.

Same goes for small business owners in our town. It’s tough for them to talk with me about what makes their businesses great when they’re being forced to keep their doors shut for an indefinite period of time. But this won’t last forever. Sooner or later, things will begin to return to normal and, when that day comes, I’ll be ready and waiting to get the ball rolling on season four.
