The Signal

Today we examined the first known existence of enslaved Black people in this province. The series features Xaiver Michael Campbell and is produced by the CBC's Heather Barrett.

But first we end the week where we started, we will talk about climate change and COP26. We'll talk with Rodd Laing, Director of Environment with the Nunatsiavut Government.

For today's show we take a dive into special coverage started by the St. John's Morning show. We look at healthcare in this province.

But First, our CBC colleague, Alex Kennedy, will tell us about a special kind of trainer and accessibility at a local gym.

Our guests will talk about why it's happening, what it means, and what we can do about it.

Today's show looks at the COP26 climate pact and what it may mean for the province. It also takes a look at the future of the oil and gas industry in a time of climate change policy shifts.

Guests:Joel Finnis climatologist at Memorial University

MHA Perry Trimper - District of Lake Melville

Black slaves were among the people who lived in early Newfoundland colonies. Xaiver talks to researchers who are trying to find out more about who they were.

In Newfoundland and Labrador we love our history. But what parts of our own history have been lost or overlooked? What voices have we yet to hear from?

Some favourite Newfoundland and Labrador delicacies: salt cod, molasses, rum - have deep connections to Black enslaved labour. Xaiver bakes molasses cookies and thinks about ingredients.

In 1987, the remains of a Black sailor known as W.H. were unearthed on the south coast of Labrador. Xavier Michael Campbell learns more about W.H. and others.

Today we're talking about what we’re remembering, and how that continues a century after the original Armistice at the end of the Great War. We are joined by Paige Brennan, the curator of a new exhibit at the Rooms focusing on contemporary veterans in Newfoundland and Labrador.

People are starting to travel again, but what's that like? What should you know? We've got answers to those questions today.

First though on this eve of Remembrances Day we are remembering those who served.

Guests: CBC's John Gaudi and travel guide David Gosine.
