Haliburton County has a well known reputation as an arts and culture centre. This week, Kate has the story of some of the early origins of theatre in Haliburton County going back to 1907. Plus, Paul has the history of the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD), a post-WW2 binational partnership between the US and Canda.

Interestingly he was able to keep his two sides separate.
