From Melanie Patten of the Canadian Press:

  • ‘Women Went’ comes to Nova Scotia
    “Innkeeper Jimmie LeFresne lost half of his staff when The Week the Women Went came to his small Nova Scotia village last fall. Sure, hiring his buddies to scrub bathtubs and feed guests was nerve-wracking, but the thing that’s really got LeFresne worked up prior to the reality show’s premiere Wednesday is what might have slipped out during filming. ‘Oh, my land!

In the news: ZOS’s Maltese connection

From the Malta Independent:

  • Maltese producer’s eight-part drama premieres tomorrow on Canadian TV
    “Hope is possible in ZOS and it is prized – but it’s always hard-won. Peacekeeping has pride of place in the Canadian national identity. It was, in fact, executive producer and director Mario Azzopardi’s pride in the country, which welcomed him as a young man from Malta almost 30 years ago, that was the catalyst for ZOS.” Read more.
