We’ll start things off today with two stories from British Columbia where a string of bear-human conflicts shakes the province. The BC government will be spending a one-time 60 million dollar envelope to help families who are struggling with inflation. The CRFC Radio in Ontario will turn 100 in a few weeks. One of its volunteers has been on air for 40 years. He’s a jazz buff and we’ll spend  some time with him.  And through our Periscope we’ll take a peek at what’s been going on in Québec, Ontario, and in the northwestern part of British Columbia.
