2h ago
Riders take on the Calgary Stampeders for the first time this season on Friday.
8:30 – After Regina police announced mandatory alcohol screening would accompany all roadside stops for the month of March, Saskatchewan RCMP are going to begin permanently including mandatory alcohol screening with all routine traffic stops. This news preceeds a new statistic from SGI that found nearly 1,000 new drivers were suspended last year for exceeding alcohol or drug limits while behind the wheel. Evan is joined by SGI’s Tyler McMurchy to break down the problem and whether mandatory alcohol screening can be a solution.
9:00 – Sextortion is on the rise in Saskatchewan, and the RCMP in the province are part of the front lines responding to the fallout of these crimes. St/Sgt. Scott Lambie of the Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes Branch joins Evan to talk about the risks to kids and what parents can be on the lookout for.
9:30 – What are the rules and conversations in your house when it comes to social media and protecting your children? Share your thoughts with Evan at 1-877-332-8255.
10:00 – Farming is a big topic for Saskatchewan. Many families in the province know how difficult the profession of being a producer can be and what the day-to-day realities are. A Saskatchewan woman and her husband are doing their part to have those transparent conversations by just sharing their own life. Evan speaks with Lesley Kelly, entrepreneur, motivational speaker and agriculture/lifestyle blogger from Watrous, to learn more about her story.
10:30 – Farming and mental health haven’t been spoken about together much in the past. With people like Lesley Kelly working to bridge that gap, what are some of the parts of farming life that have been hardest for you? Share your story with Evan at 1-877-332-8255.
11:00 – It can be hard enough to simply navigate the health care system with all of its problems right now. But a Canadian physician is finding its even harder if you are Indigenous. Dr. Jarol Boan, a Canadian physician and associate professor of medicine at the University of Saskatchewan, joins Taylor MacPherson to share what she’s discovered and covered in her new book, “The Medicine Chest: A Physician’s Journey Towards Reconciliation.”
11:30 – It’s World Autism Awareness Day — part of Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month, happening in April. To mark the importance of today, and taking a look at the events coming up this month, Alle Guarnieri and Alex Scott with Autism Services of Saskatoon join Evan.
12:00 – After a long and accomplished agricultural career, Les Johnson is being recognized for all that he’s accomplished. He joins Evan in studio to talk about his roots in the Saskatchewan soil and his induction to the Saskatchewan Agriculture Hall of Fame.
