Listen Later

Chapter 1: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Members of Parliament are taking part in an emergency take-note debate in the House of Commons, days after the remains of more than 200 Indigenous children were discovered buried beneath a former residential school in British Columbia.
Chapter 2: B.C. is expected to make it official tomorrow but the National Advisory Committee on Immunizations in Canada has already made it public: NACI supports the idea of mixing vaccines. That is, someone who received AstraZeneca for their first shot, can receive Pfizer or Moderna for their second. 
Chapter 3: How do you see renting clothes? Would you do it? Do you buy secondhand? If so, are you motivated by budget, the environment?
Chapter 4: A big announcement from Premier John Horgan and his government yesterday about our forestry industry.  The government is overhauling the province’s forest sector with a focus on getting First Nations more access to forest tenures. The goal is to double the amount of tenures held by First Nations. Right now about 10 per cent of allowable cut is in the hands of Indigenous communities.
Guest: Katrine Conroy, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development.
Chapter 5: As we continue our coverage on the Kamloops discovery of residential school unmarked burial sites we continue to get different indigenous voices to share their thoughts. Joining us this morning is Wade Grant, member of the Musqueam Indian Band. 
Guest: Wade Grant, Member of Musqueam Indian Band.
Chapter 6: When her book The Vagina Bible came out, she became famous for putting women’s health at the forefront. Now with her new book The Menopause Manifesto, Dr. Jen Gunter is doing it again - talking about something that is common and yet… doesn’t get a lot of open and frank discussion.
Guest: Dr Jen Gunter, Obstetrician, gynecologist and author of “The Vagina Bible” & “The Menopause Manifesto”.
Chapter 7: It’s time for us all to take a hard look at how we can remove barriers for people who experience any kind of impairment, visible or invisible.  It’s also a time to shine a light on some incredible things happening in communities for people with disabilities.
Guest: Raji Sohal, CKNW Contributor
Chapter 8: Regionalizing food systems can be a driver of sustainable community development and the basis for resilient local and regional economies and ecologies. This is the message from a new study at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.
Guest: Dr. Kent Mullinix, director of the Institute for Sustainable Food System
