Newfoundland man hopes salvaged life preserver from the aftermath of post-tropical storm will help persuade world leaders to protect our environment

CBC Newfoundland Morning

Tuesday, September 24 marks the second anniversary of post-tropical storm Fiona's landfall on the southwest coast of Newfoundland. The storm caused devastation and heartbreak for residents there. Mark Lomond lost his family's fishing stage, and five houses owned by members of his family were destroyed. Lomond eventually salvaged a keepsake from the storm that will be part of an exhibit in New York on Tuesday. The exhibit is being held to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly and High-Level Week, which brings together world leaders to address global challenges. Bernice spoke with Lomond and with Conor Curtis of the Sierra Club, which put the exhibit together.
