On today’s show:
We’re back in British Columbia with two stories from BC where authorities are still fighting more than 300 forest fires. Severe drought could now also become a serious problem. A new art exhibition opens in Fort McMurray, Alberta. It’s called Intersections and it features art pieces from both Indigenous and LGBTQ+ artists. A Canadian travels 70,000 kilometres over the eight years without a motor. Markus Pukonen has finally arrived home in Canada, where his Route of Change journey started. And a feel-good story from Cobourg, Ontario: the Stuff the Bus campaign collects 2,000 backpacks, filled with essential school supplies for children in need.
Our journalists this week were Owen Thompson, Ryan Hunt, Daniel Mesec, Meagan Deuling, and a first contribution from Jeff Guard! Host and producer Boris Chassagne. National editors Victoria Fenner and Maureen McEwan. Viewpoints is brought to you by the Community Radio Fund of Canada.
