ATLANTIC BRIEFS DESK sw-briefs@saltwire.com

SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. - The City of Summerside is one of 16 towns across Canada nominated to proceed to the next stage in the SiriusXM Music Town contest.

The coast-to-coast music town search began May 26, looking to award four towns an epic music experience.

After receiving submissions from more than 400 communities across Canada, SiriusXM narrowed down the entries to 16 finalists' communities, across four different regions – Eastern Canada, Quebec, Ontario and Western Canada.

Summerside's passionate nominations from locals represented hometown pride and love for music, earning the city one of the spots on the short list.

“The stories we received for SiriusXM Music Town are a testament to the true passion and pride Canadians have for their local communities and their love for live music,” said SiriusXM Canada senior vice president of marketing Paul Cunningham in a news release.

“Music Town is more than just a concert, it's part of our ongoing mission to give Canadians greater access to local artists and deliver memorable moments you can only experience with SiriusXM.”

Summerside will compete against Gander N.L., Miramichi, N.B., and Corner Brook, N.L. in the Eastern Canada region to win a concert from Arkells.

Voting is now open for Islanders to rally behind Summerside. Votes can be cast online at https://musictown. siriusxm.ca/eastern-canada/ summerside/ until July 11.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

Be prepared to face some challenges stirred up by an envious colleague. Your best defense is the Arian’s innate honesty. Stick with the truth, and you’ll come out ahead.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

Your sensitivity to the needs of others is admirable. But be careful to avoid those who would take unfair advantage of your good nature, especially where money is involved.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 20)

Having an optimistic attitude is fine, as far as it goes. But don’t be lulled into a false sense of confidence. There still are problems to deal with before you can totally relax.

CANCER

(June 21 to July 22)

You might feel somewhat “crabby,” as you fuss over plans that don’t seem to work out. Maybe you’re trying too hard. Ease up and let things happen without forcing them.

LEO

(July 23 to August 22) Heed that keen Leonine instinct. It’s trying to tell you to delay making a decision until you’re sure there are no hidden problems that could cause trouble later on.

VIRGO

(August 23 to Sept. 22)

This is a good time to reach out to those who might be nursing hurt feelings over recent events. Best advice: Ignore any pettiness that could delay the healing process.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Your understanding helps a colleague get through a difficult period. Although you didn’t do it for a reward, be assured that your actions will be repaid down the line.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

You score some high marks in the workplace, which will count in your favor when you face the possibility of changing direction on your current career path.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Your goal lies straight ahead. Stay focused on it and avoid distractions that could throw off your aim and cause potentially detrimental delays.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Keep that burst of exuberance in check and resist pushing through your new project before it’s ready. In your personal life, a family member again needs help.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Paying attention to your work is important this week. But so are your relationships with those special people in your life. Make time for them as well.

PISCES

(Feb. 19 to March 20)

Good news. Someone is about to repay a long-standing debt. But be warned. That same someone could try to charm you into lending it back unless you say no and mean it. You are sensitive to matters that involve your home and family. You would make a fine family-court judge or social worker.
