The Evan Bray Show Segments – Wednesday, July 31st

8:30 – Two new temporary complex needs shelters are opening up in Regina and Saskatoon “in the coming days,” according to the Government of Saskatchewan. The shelters take a bit of a different approach to intake and who can use the services. Saskatchewan Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Seniors and Rural and Remote Health, Tim McLeod, joins Evan to share more about these shelters.

9:00 – Water in Regina can take on a less-pleasant smell and taste in occasion, during the summertime. Residents notice the change each year.

Ryan Johnson, president and CEO of Buffalo Pound Water, joins Evan to dive into the plant’s upgrade, which is underway.
