Chloe Bernardini has joined the news team at The Calais Advertiser while home for her summer break.  Chloe just completed her first year at the University of King's College in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she majors in journalism and minors in philosophy.  She said, “I’m ecstatic I get to work for a news outlet that still prints their news, rather than having it only available online,” adding, “Overall, I’m just very excited to be a part of something I grew up reading.”  Welcome, Chloe!
