Episode Synopsis

Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Wednesday, May 27th.

The Morning News begins with its weekly Ask The Doctor segment. Infectious Disease Specialist, Dr. Craig Jenne of the University of Calgary, answers COVID-19 questions as submitted by the listeners.

Sue and Andrew look at the horrific state of long-term care homes in Ontario. Mercedes Stephenson, Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief, and Host of The West Block, brings them the latest details of the grim findings by Canadian Military Personnel who spent time in the facilities.

Sue and Andrew hear from the Mayor of Banff on the progress the town has made in the first two-weeks of re-opening and her new message to all Albertans: "Banff is back open for business".

It's on a new virtual platform, but the aim is the same. Ask Her YYC has re-launched a program online which encourages more women to run for municipal government.

The Morning News hears another story of a Calgarian who has gone above and beyond to make a difference in our city during the Coronavirus Crisis. We speak to the 'nominator' behind our next Community Champion candidate.
