This week the CBC broke a story about proposals to change the curriculum for Alberta students from K-6. Changes that if imposed, could completely restructure the way we educate our kids. And it’s one of many things that makes these days feel faster — more restless. We’re no longer in the early days of the pandemic, when things were quieter and we baked bread at home. COVID case numbers are rising in Edmonton, temperatures are dropping, the days are shorter and it’s hard not to feel a little low. This week on The Loop reporter Janet French helps us dig into those proposed curriculum changes, and we also speak to a psychologist about how to slow down and take care of yourself as the days get colder. Plus CBC News Network Producer Terry Reith tells us the story of Alberta’s iOAT program and those who rely on it, and we meet a newly minted multi-millionaire in Calmar.
