The Signal

We are live on location in Miawpukek First Nation, or Conne River as some of you may know it, for the traditional pow wow which starts tomorrow.

Do you have questions about how to protect yourself? I've got just the guest for you today, Cst Colleen Noble of RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crimes.

Up first though we will talk about science with two impressive young scientists.

Look at this photograph! Today we have two local photographers ready to talk all about taking snaps. Got questions? Wanna talk about your own photography?

But first, from Charles Dickens first first editions to new best sellers. We've got a great big book sale to talk about.

We have a very special show for you live from Majestic Lawn in Corner Brook, where the Qalipu First Nation is hosting a full day of ceremony, friendship and fun.

It's the last week of the school year for children and young people in the K to 12 school system. The pandemic has highlighted some previously-existing challenges and brought new issues to light.

We'll take a look back. And a look ahead at K to 12 education in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Also, we're going to find out what all the buzz is about. We'll be talking about a growing interest in backyard beekeeping.

What's it like to be a foster parent? What's the need for more foster parents in Newfoundland and Labrador? And what is it like to be in the care of the child welfare system?

We have a guest with us today who knows a lot about riding ATV in Newfoundland.

Patrick Ryan is the creator of the website, "Crossing Newfoundland by ATV."

Today on the program, we're talking about the challenges of animal rescue in this province. Volunteer groups across Newfoundland and Labrador have pounced on the problem over the years. We'll hear about their work to shelter stray and abandoned animals, get them spayed or neutered, and try to find furever homes.

But first, The Nickel Independent Film Festival has launched a sci-fi film challenge. To find out all about it, we're joined by executive director Elling Lien.

Today on the program, we will be talking about the disease of drug addiction in our province.

We'll hear from some mothers who've spent years trying to help their adult children who have used drugs.

And we'll hear about an organization called Moms Stop the Harm.

We have some sunshine in the Corner Brook area today, and things have certainly turned greener in the past couple of weeks.

How are things looking in your garden where you are?

Michael Murray of Murray's Garden Centre in Portugal Cove will be our guest.
