Episode Synopsis

Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Wednesday, June 17th.

 

We begin with details on the newly "Green Lit" Green Line LRT.  We get reaction from Ward 6 Councillor Jeff Davison on the decision - and an explanation of the different stages of the project.

Next it's our monthly conversation with Police Chief Mark Neufeld. We ask the Chief about the push to 'defund' many Police Services across North America - and what CPS protocols are in place to ensure racial equality in the organization.

Earlier this week City Council unanimously passed an anti-racism motion to address systemic racism and discrimination in Calgary. We get reaction from "Vibrant Communities Calgary".

And finally - she's one neighbour who always seems to 'rise' to the occasion. We meet our next "Community Champion" nominee - a woman who's been delivering her own fresh baked bread, buns and cookies to her neighbours during the Pandemic.
