Dear Listeners,
Thanks for tuning in to Civically Speaking. In this episode I am honoured to have Christine Hrudka as a guest on the show.  Christine is a pharmacist by profession and we dive into the world of pharmacy.
Christine is the past Chair of the Canadian Pharmacists Association, an advocate for women in leadership and entrepreneurship, a pharmacy business owner, speaker, advocate, and more. Check out her LinkedIn profile for more information. 
In this episode we explore a number of issues Christine is directly involved with - ranging from the role pharmacists play now during pandemic times and could be playing more of; to working with helping with getting better access to drugs like naloxone to help those with a drug overdose; to the evolving roles pharmacists can, should and will be playing now and in the future within the health care sector. 
It's a fascinating show with many topics touched on. Thanks Christine. And we will be sure to have Christine back on the show for further discussion and to participate on panel discussions.

Dear Listeners,

Indeed 2020 will be a year we all remember. And, we will be that generation who shares this memory together by being able to say:  "remember the before times when we..." 
And "remember the covid times when we had to... " And, "remember in the after times when we then ..." 

Plenty to reflect on.  Our Civics Panel, in this first of two parts, reflect on a number of items. Thank you Pat Lorje, Wendy Cooper, Jeff Jackson and Ari Avivi for joining. We jump right in with reflecting on the USA's recent election, where the Electoral College affirmed Biden as the incoming President. We then jump to a to a discussion around the first of the vaccines deployed from Pzifer's Belgium factory via Kentucky to 14 locations across Canada.  We then have a chat about the Province of Saskatchewan's  new health orders shared today. And end on some quick thoughts about what role might our municipalities need to consider moving forward in light of COVID-19.

Tune in. Support community radio.  And, support podcasts list this.

Tune in. Learn. And share.
