On today's show:
Seniors in Revelstoke and Quadra Island, BC get a helping hand from grassroots initiatives. The Dartmouth Travelodge Hotel was transformed providing 65 new permanent housing options for the homeless. The 2SLGBTQ+ community has been targeted by vandals in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Hateful graffiti was sprayed on a visitor information centre and the community is calling for action. And the Sackville Memorial Hospital is getting closer to bringing back its 24-7 emergency department. But it still needs, more new staff, before it gets the green light.
