	Description:		There's an old saying...one person's weed...is another person's flower. The Nature Conservancy of Canada is asking Canadians to hold back on mowing their lawns for a while. Next month a group called Asist-NL will be training people in suicide intervention protocols in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Gerry Dooley is with the organization and he talks about the training plus some best practices to help someone who is struggling. A warning to listeners that Dooley talks in detail about suicide. Author Andrea Procter speaks with us about her book 'A Long Journey: Residential Schools in Labrador and Newfoundland' which has received an Atlantic Book Award for scholarly writing, among many other accolades. We also speak with Annie Evans of Makkovik, who was one of those who shared her account of residential schools back in April of 2018. The family of the late Ryan (Ernie) Nuke of Sheshatshiu says it's been a long nine months of waiting as the RCMP have finally laid charges in the hit-and-run that led to his death last August. Herman Montague, Nuke's uncle, shared what these charges mean for the family. The price of iron ore has hit an all-time high....Paul Gray is the vice-president of iron ore markets for Wood Mackenzie, a global researching company, and he discusses what he is seeing and how Labrador fits into that. What do high oil prices look like right here in the province? Michael Furlong, president of USW Local 5795, says it's an exciting time in the industry. This construction season in Makkovik will see a continuation of a 20- lot subdivision plus a new playground. AngajukKak Barry Andersen speaks to the plans. Meanwhile Postville Inuit Community Government is working to keep its landfill free of recyclables by recently voting on a recycling program. We reached out to AngajukKâk Glenn Sheppard. Finally, mass vaccination and home testing to slow and hopefully stop the spread of Covid-19? To tell us what's available and how this might work, Dr. Peter Lin chats with us!
