Labrador Morning

Zack brings you a lot of happenings in Labrador for the week of October 25th.

Spooky season is here! We drop by the haunted house happening in the underground tunnels at 5 Wing Goose Bay.

The town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay has a problem with delayed audits—and now it’s paying a hefty price. About $400,000 dollars of provincial funding has been lost because of the issue. We hear concerns about the issue from Derek Montague, the former mayor of North West River. We also hear response from Happy Valley-Goose Bay mayor George Andrews.

It's a project about six years in the making—but the new community center hasn't opened in Port Hope Simpson yet. The town's mayor is hopeful about the project coming together soon, though. We hear an update from mayor Margaret Burden.

Business workshops, cultural food and dancing: this weekend in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, a multicultural festival is kicking off in town. We hear the details.

Award-winning songwriter Sherman Downey is playing his tunes at the Lawrence O'Brien Arts Centre tonight! Ahead of that show, he popped by our studio for a live musical performance.

Did you know there were at least three underground landslides under Lake Melville—and they may have even triggered a tsunami? We hear from a scientist about the secrets under the lake.

The benefits of fostering a child, and how best to support foster families. We speak with the Newfoundland and Labrador Foster Families Association. 

After about five years as the only permanent vet in Labrador, Dr. Rebecca Jackson is happy there's another permanent vet now in the Big Land. But the Happy Valley-Goose Bay vet says there's still a big shortage of veterinary care here in Labrador. We hear from her.

A bear with an appetite. We hear about a hungry black bear that tore open a food tent at the Manishan Nui Community Gathering to get at the grub inside. The tale comes from a young Innu woman who says she heard it all happen!
