On today’s Viewpoints:
We’ll have five stories for you this week and most of them from out west.
We won’t be talking about forest fires, but about Drug Overdose Awareness Day, and what community members are doing to try to combat the overdose epidemic in BC. We’ll talk with an ex-drug dealer about how he overcame his own addiction and with a woman who thought she was saving her brother’s life.
And then to Alberta, where four universities will share in a new fund for technology innovation. And also related to education, the difficult issue of housing, making life difficult for students from one end of the country to another. The BC Selkirk College is asking the community to open up its doors to students. And then, continuing with our back to school theme, we go to Nova Scotia where students are also trying to contend with higher tuition fees.
Thanks to our team of journalists hired through the Local Journalism Initiative of Canada, Hayley DiRisio, Ryan Hunt, Mick Sweetman, Scott Onyschak and Sabrina Spencer. To our national editors Maureen McEwan and Victoria Fenner. Host and producer Boris Chassagne. Viewpoints is brought to you by the Community Radio Fund of Canada.
