Labrador Morning

About 60 people wearing curly red wigs and bright, flowing caftans made their way through Happy Valley-Goose Bay last weekend. We hear all about the Mrs Roper pub crawl and walk—and learn why the TV show character from the 70s and 80s is such a phenomenon these days.

Artist Mina Campbell learned to clean her very first polar bear hide last week—and everyone was welcome to take in that process at the Labrador Interpretation Center. We drop by.

Ashlee Cunsolo says living in Labrador—and building up the Labrador Campus—has been a life-changing experience. But this summer, the Labrador Campus Vice-Provost is moving on. We hear about her new job at Acadia University—and reflect on some of her accomplishments in Labrador over the last 8 years.

The Kamutik W should be running on the North Coast in a couple of weeks, according to Minister of Transportation John Abbott. But MHA Lela Evans says that isn’t soon enough. We speak with her.
