CBC Newfoundland Morning

The province continues to attract wind energy companies that are hoping to produce green hydrogen. Late last week, Serbian-based CWP Global signed a memorandum of understanding with the Port of Corner Brook. The deal outlines a proposal to turn the port into a green hydrogen hub. It includes plans for a hot-briquetted iron plant. Steve Delaney is the Business and Development Manager for Canada at CWP Global.

Many of us watched on TV when Newfoundland and Labrador's Unknown Soldier was laid to rest at the National War Memorial in St. John's on July 1. But for a group of young students from this province, the sacrifices of men who died more than a hundred years ago are personal. They're among a group following the Trail of the Caribou this week. Jo Anne Broders is an English and social studies teacher at Smallwood Academy in Gambo. Griffin Neal is a Grade Eight student from that school., and Joelle Moss is in Grade Eight at Xavier Junior high in Deer Lake. We reached them by phone from Belgium.

Summer is the perfect time of year to take a dip in the pool - or practice the sport of rowing. The Humber River Rowing Club in Corner Brook offers lessons for people looking to learn. The CBC’s Amy Feehan tried the sport for herself.

Last week, journalist Bruce Arthur wrote a piece for the Toronto Star, quoting scientists who are afraid because of their work. People who publish research that is contrary to conservative points of view say they're being threatened and harassed -- online, and in public. They fear a potential Pierre Polievre government because they expect the pressure -- and the abuse -- to increase. Chris Turner is an author and journalist who wrote The War on Science, about the Stephen Harper years. He spoke with the CBC's Leigh Anne Power.

When Governor General Mary Simon visited St.John's for Memorial Day, she took some time out for other official business. At The Rooms, she hosted a ceremony to celebrate the newest members of the Order of Canada. Wayne Chaulk, Kevin Blackmore and Ray Johnson, better known as Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers, received their medals on Tuesday. Wayne told us about the honour.

Some communities in Western Newfoundland will pay more for waste disposal starting this week because the board that handles garbage and recycling in the region is now charging towns an extra fee for contaminated blue bags. Bags are mostly being contaminated AFTER they leave your curb, but you as a taxpayer will ultimately end up paying the price. To help us understand what's going on, we heard from Lynn Howse, regional outreach officer for Western Regional Waste Management.

A very special project will get its official launch on Saturday in Woody Point, the Bonne Bay Historical Archive. Tony Berger is one of those volunteers, part of a group who has worked on the project for over a year.

Summer has arrived, and so have the fish! It's time to grab your fly rod and waders for this year's salmon fishing season, which runs from June 1st to September 7th. Our outdoor columnist, Charlie White, is looking forward to spending some quality time on the river. He talks the dos and don'ts in the latest installment of "Chase the Seasons with Charlie."

Most of us look at the rocks in our neighbourhoods and don't realize they are snapshots of the world's history, But there are people who use those rocks to find answers to pretty important questions. Marjorie Cantine is a geologist from the University of Washington who is conducting research on the Bonavista Peninsula this week.
