Chapter 1: There’s a non profit there called Big Bike Giveaway that has been collecting, repairing and handing out bikes for the last seven years - and given how popular bikes have become during the pandemic you can figure that they’ve been pretty busy. In fact they’ve handed out more than 2,000 free bicycles over the years.
Guest: Kelly Wang, 980 CFPL Radio Reporter/Anchor.
Chapter 2: Premier John Horgan joined CKNW and discussed several topics, one of which is on the travel restrictions and was asked if the government was confusing British Columbians?
Chapter 3: The Society of BC Veterinarians claims the pandemic has increased the demand for vet services so rapidly, the industry is now in a crisis.  Two years ago, the society wanted to look into predicted labour shortages, finding that there would be a shortage of 500 veterinarians in B.C. by 2024.
Guest:  Dr. Hatley McMicking, general manager of veterinary service for the BC SPCA.
Chapter 4: After nearly a year and plenty of controversy, people are being moved out of a homeless encampment in Vancouver’s Strathcona Park.  The province and BC Housing have committed to finding housing for campers and removing all tents and structures from the park by April 30.
Guest: David Eby, Attorney General of BC
Chapter 5: Playland has announced it will be delaying its reopening date until after the May long weekend over concerns around the spread of COVID-19.  The attraction was set to open every Saturday and Sunday in May but announced later on Tuesday that due to concerns about people travelling outside their health regions, they will remain closed.
Guest: Laura Ballance, Spokesperson for the PNE and President of Laura Ballance Media Group.
