You won't believe what happened in Sussex
Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.
I'll tell you what, there are some stories that just stop you in your tracks, right? And the news out of Sussex this weekend, about a helicopter crash that claimed one life, that's one of them. Police in Sussex got the call late Saturday evening, just before 7 p.m., from the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax – a missing chopper with one person aboard. It's a somber reminder of how quickly things can change, especially when you're dealing with the vast, often unforgiving, landscape of southern New Brunswick.

Details are still coming out, with the safety board now on site investigating. But it's hard not to think about the impact this has on the folks in Sussex and the surrounding communities. This isn't some big city where something like this might get lost in the shuffle; in a place like Sussex, everyone knows everyone, or knows someone who does. It's the kind of news that ripples through the general store, the curling club, and every kitchen table from there all the way down to the Fundy Trail Parkway.

It's a tough bit of news to wake up to, and our thoughts are with the family and friends affected. In a place where we often talk about the beauty and the quiet, it's these moments that remind us of the fragility, right? It just hits different when it's in your backyard, whether that's near the Covered Bridge or the Skywalk overlooking the falls.
