FULL INTERVIEW - Canada lost a great athlete, statesman, and author this year when hockey legend Ken Dryden passed away. We reached into our radio archives for this exclusive interview carried out on the banks of the Athabasca River in 2003 when Ken Dryden participated in the Boreal Rendezvous canoe expedition from Fort McKay to Wood Buffalo National Park in Alberta. In this interview with David Dodge, a very relaxed Ken Dryden reveals another side of the hockey legend. He talks about the Boreal Forest, his time as president of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and some of his favourite experiences on his first-ever canoe expedition on a river.

Canada lost an amazing athlete, statesman and author this year when Ken Dryden passed away.

I had the pleasure of joining Dryden on Boreal Rendezvous, an epic canoe adventure on the Athabasca River in 2003 in support of Boreal Forest conservation.

This week, we remember Ken Dryden in this interview recorded on a sandbar on the Athabasca River.

In Part 1 of our CKUA series, Ken shares the story of how he wound up on this adventure and his first impressions of the great boreal forest.

VIDEO - Nova Scotia is bullish on offshore wind power. They just offered leases for the development of 5 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity. That's twice the annual electricity consumption in Nova Scotia. And they have already identified suitable areas for up to 60 gigawatts of offshore wind development. That's enough to provide 27% of Canada's electricity. Surprisingly, these will be the first offshore wind projects in Canada, even though the technology is widely used in China, the UK, the US, and other countries.We talk to Elisa Obermann, executive director of Marine Renewables Canada, who says Premier Tim Houston is a big advocate for the development, which he describes as nation-building.

Amidst the trade wars, geopolitical and economic turmoil, Prime Minister Mark Carney is fast-tracking what he calls nation-building mega projects.

BUT "Instead of ‘building fossil fuel and mining mega projects,’ Evan Ferrari says we need to build 'decentralized megaprojects' that are “small hyper local projects thattogether add up to a massive megaproject.”

Evan Ferrari is the executive director of Emerge Guelph Sustainability, a local climate change action group in Guelph, Ontario.He says what's needed in 2025 are distributed nation-building mega projects that help Canadians, fight climate change, and build the economy of tomorrow, instead of building "fossil fuel and mining mega projects" that exacerbate the climate crisis and entrench the economy in yesterday.

Driven by the US trade war and Canada passed its Nation Building bill to fast-track nation-building projects to support economic and energy independence.

Monica Curtis of the Pembina Institute thinks we need to rethink the idea of nation-building mega projects and is proposing Canada launch a massive wave of building retrofit projects to support energy security, affordability for Canadians and to tackle one of the biggest boxes of greenhouse gas emissions - buildings.

She says this could create 200,000 jobs and $48 billion in economic activity and build the capacity and expertise we need to tackle the climate crisis and to build a future sustainable economy.
