On today’s show, we hear from family members who are participating in the Sackville and Dorchester memorial banner program, which places nearly 200 banners featuring pictures of war veterans throughout the streets of the municipality every fall in advance of Remembrance Day. Plus in briefs: Police are investigating the 2022 death of Sackville native Darrell Mesheau, a rally calling for a ceasefire in Gaza will happen in Sackville this Sunday, and community members get a glimpse of life in Dorchester prison.
