In fact, The Loop launched that week when everything changed, which was definitely not something we were expecting. As we continue to look at how things are adjusting, CBC digital journalist Wallis Snowdon joins us to talk about current case numbers in the province and how schools have been impacted. Artist Tim Okamura is from Sherwood Park, but has lived in New York City for awhile now.

CBC senior reporter Erin Collins looks at why a rural community in central Alberta is raising concerns about a proposed wind turbine project.
