We have invited a special guest to join us to celebrate the 150th birthday of New Brunswick’s treasured son - RB Bennett himself! This special video brings us back to a time when Bennett addressed Canada on CBC radio - the first politician to do so, in fact he created CBC! He shares his legacy and sends greetings to Canada as we celebrate July 1st together - apart! Thank you to actor Thomas Daley for his portrayal of RB Bennett! https://youtu.be/ag8JJ5iFW2Q
