According to the World Bank, the impacts of climate change could see over 200 million people forced to migrate by 2050. We speak with Aviva Basman, president of the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, about what that may mean for Canada. The first YMCA in Labrador was officially opened yesterday. We hear from Premier Andrew Furey and Jason Brown, the CEO of YMCA Newfoundland and Labrador. Former Premier Danny Williams spoke at a conference on the future of the provincial economy, and once again defended the Muskrat Falls project. We hear from him and also from an audience member who challenges Williams on his opinion. Wadden Peddigrew Law has conducted a review of hiring practices by the Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay. We take a close look into that review, and hear a response from HV-GB mayor Wally Andersen. The Royal Canadian Mint has a new series called Generations, and Jason Sikoak from Rigolet has designed a coin for it. He tells us about the experience today. The annual general meeting at the Labrador Friendship Centre is happening on September 22nd. We hear from Executive Director Jennifer Hefler-Elson. Finally, just because you've been vaccinated against COVID-19 doesn't mean you can't spread it to others. We talk to CBC House Doctor Peter Lin about why having a vaccine passport system is not enough. |
