Keeping pace in the “Fast Fashion” world
Fashion retail isn’t for the feint of heart.
As customers increasing do their shopping online, chains such as Danier Leathers, Tip Top Tailors, and American Apparel have all been forced to close their doors or filed for creditor protection in Canada.

But in Fredericton, at least one local storefront is breaking the mould. Alyssa Gould takes a look at how Shop Tilleuil is keeping pace in the “fast fashion” world.

Second Chance
Many people wish they had learned how to play a musical instrument or at least wished they had kept up with that old clarinet or trombone they had picked up in high school.
And as music lovers get to the end of their middle age and beyond, they often find that playing an instrument keeps the mind active and the fingers nimble.
Sarah Morin is a journalism student at St. Thomas University. She takes a look at the Second Chances Band in Fredericton … the music they make and the comforts it brings.
An extreme change
