We've heard a lot about our frontline workers and maybe your are one, or know one or maybe you're just glad they have been there to keep us feeling as normal as we can since the pandemic began. Today we get to hear what it's like behind the swinging doors of the Emergency Room as we talk with one of the Emerg nurses Michelle Beeson. It's not as glamourous as they make it look on TV but it's a job that is unlike any other - so grab a chair or your walking shoes and have a listen!

Listen as Ann shares her story of how she took something that had always been part of her life and turned it into something that helps bring people together, first in her community of Ottewell and now all over western Canada (and maybe beyond!). Be inspired as she talks about overcoming a year long recovery from spinal surgery and how she found the strength to continue in a surprising way.

Find out how Kevin grew up inspired to be a teacher but loving the music and arts scene and how those two passions came together and have finally coalesced into a career that encapsulates both. Listen to his inspiring story and how he is inspired by the kids that he teaches, all the time, but especially during this pandemic. Burton Cummings may make a cameo appearance of a kind:)
