Calgary Today WO Apr 27th - May 1st: COVID Clips


Listen Later

Once again, welcome to the weekend wrap-up of Calgary Today. This weekend's episode is called COVID Clips, and that's because the segments that have been chosen are snapshots, or clips, of the world we live in at this very moment. These clips show the humanitarian in all of us and have been compiled as reminder of how we can, and should, come together in times of fear and chaos. Take a look in Joe McFarland's scrap book from this week and you'll see clips of:
Joe speaking to Leduc area farmer Kim Ducherer about the effect big business is having on the agriculture industry in Canada during the pandemic.
Former WHL player & Co-founder of Mountain Life Apparel Brock Montgomery, explains how a hockey player becomes a clothing retailer with his brother, and turns that into a venture celebrating and clothing front line workers.
Calgary Community Ethnic Support Society Chief Executive Officer Dr. Josephine Tsang, shows how broadening the scope from just helping people adjust, to helping seniors eat, is the simple change in perspective needed to do something great.
President of Alberta Garment Manufacturing Adrian Bussoli, giving us a look into the company that's contracted to supply Calgary's city workers with equipment. With Joe digging deeper and asking how they got in the business of making cloth face masks. 
Co-Founders of The Helping Alberta Initiative Breanne Everett & Melissa LaMothe, give scope to the task of connecting personal protective equipment with those who need it in the province. 
These are the snapshots or "clips" of the good that we are all capable of, hopefully one day when we look back on the scrapbook of our history we can remember it as the time when we came together in the name of community.
Stay safe and make good choices.
