We will talk all about how to set up a successful range day, what you need to know before you begin planning, pitfalls and things to avoid along with gaining sponsors and final execution of the event. Jamie-Lee is 36 years old, a Wife, Educational Assistant, Hunter, Angler, Trapper and range day coordinator. She also spends her free time being a backyard mechanic, gardener, canner, sewer, home renovator while enjoying riding her motorcycle and quads.  She has fished with her dad since she could hold a rod. She did not start hunting or shooting, both rifle and archery, until her mid 20s with her husband. A couple years ago she learnt the art or trapping from her dad and got licenced. It has quickly become her new favorite winter activity! Jamie-Lee loves to be outdoors, spending time in nature and learning and discovering new things.  Teaching and introducing firearms, archery and hunting to new comers is a passion of hers. Using this passion, Jamie-Lee was able to put together a very successful women's range day in Fort MacMurray which has only grown since. Find Jamie-Lee on Instagram @beggstobeoutdoors and @mcmurrayrangedays and McMurray Range Days on Facebook.

The largest National Park in Canada is Wood Buffalo, currently celebrating its 100th anniversary. But the people who inhabited it for thousands of years before that want it back. Brandi Morin travels to Wood Buffalo (and to Fort MacMurray and to Fort Chipewyan) to tell the real story of the Dene, the Cree, and the land they were expelled from to make way for Wood Buffalo National Park.

When are you faced with one of our greatest challenges in your life what helps you to press on?   On May 3, 2016 Curtis Robinson, a primary care firefighter, could not have imagined what was in store for his community.  Over the course of several days, a wildland fire would burn out of control, leading to the largest wildfire evacuation in Alberta's history.  As 88,000 people abandoned their homes in the community of Fort MacMurray, Curtis and the firefighters from surrounding areas would have been overwhelmed by the task at hand. With a great deal of modesty, Curtis' commitment to his community is palpable.  When he wasn't fighting the fires, he found a way to go over and above the call of duty. Heroes come in many forms. and although it may not be visible, these catastrophic events can leave a person changed forever.  It is how we respond to these adversities that can make or break us! Speaking to the grief, trauma and the changes he has made in his life since the fire, Curtis suggests no matter how hard things get, there is always a path forward.

There is a second, but smaller outbreak of COVID-19 at another poultry processing plant in BC. Two cases of the virus have been confirmed at the Superior Poultry Plant in Coquitlam but more are expected. Superior Poultry is the sister plant of United Poultry, which was closed by public health on Monday, after 28 workers there tested positive for the virus. One more case has since been confirmed at that plant in Vancouver. BC's Provincial Health Officer says local health authorities are inspecting more plants and she's planning to meet with representatives from that sector in the coming days.Concerns over outbreaks at industrial sites like the poultry plants have prompted Dr. Bonnie Henry to recommend factories and farms that house their workers, appoint an infection control coordinator, so that quick action can be taken if an outbreak occurs. Henry says BC is seeing large outbreaks that are discovered too late. In addition, she is calling on businesses like hair salons and tattoo parlours that are now closed to think about what steps they need to take to ensure they have the right equipment and COVID-safe standards in place if restrictions are relaxed over the summer months. And, Henry is asking all British Columbians to think about who in their circle is more vulnerable to the disease. For example, she says someone returning to work may have grandparents looking after their children. Henry says if that's the case, the parent should not allow playdates because that risks bringing the virus into the grandparent's home.COVID-19 has claimed the lives of four more people in long term care homes on the lower mainland. There is one new case of the virus in the Island Health Region, and 29 new cases, province-wide. Two of the new cases are in acute care hospitals. One at Lion's Gate in Vancouver and the other at Ridge Meadows Hospital in Maple Ridge. No patients have been affected so far. Henry says the staff member at Ridge Meadows was infected by her partner at home, who was a worker at the Kearl Lake oil sands project near Fort MacMurray.And finally, the Dr. Henry Fluevog Shoe is on sale now. The two-tone pink Mary Jane style pumps are inscribed with Dr. Henry's oft-repeated phrase "Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe." The designer shoes cost $339 but all proceeds from the on-line only sale will be donated to Food Banks BC.Written and reported by Lisa Cordasco.

A COVID-19 outbreak at a work camp in Alberta has prompted BC's Health Officer to issue a new order. Dr. Bonnie Henry says seven workers from the Kearl Lake Project near Fort MacMurray have tested positive for the virus and she expects more to come. that's why she's issued an order that anyone returning from working there over the past two weeks must self isolate for the next two weeks. If they experience symptoms, they must report them to 8-1-1, the provincial health line. Anyone who returned from the Kearl Lake work camp within the past month who has felt sick, must also report to 8-1-1.In BC, 52 new cases of the virus have been confirmed since Saturday, including five in the Island Health Region. That means there are just under 1700 cases province-wide, including 102 in Island Health. There have been five more deaths since Saturday, bringing the total to 86. All of the latest deaths were on the lower mainland.Meanwhile, Dr. Henry has confirmed there are eight cases of COVID-19 in Alert Bay. As a result, the village declared its own local state of emergency on Sunday. The declaration includes a 9:30 pm to 6 am curfew and restricts travel to and from Cormorant Island. Last week, Alert Bay's mayor revealed he was infected with COVID-19. Dennis Buchanan suspects he caught it from a traveller.A reminder that tonight, you can tune in and ask questions of local health officials at a virtual town hall meeting. The officials who will be attending are the CEO of Island Health, its Chief Medical Officer and two area MLAs. The live stream begins at 7:15 on the provincial government's Facebook page and YouTube channel. Nanaimo RCMP has arrested a man who allegedly spat on a worker at the Dollarama Store in the Port Place Mall on Sunday. The worker told police the man became enraged when told he could not enter the store at that time because it was reserved for seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The suspect was found at a bus stop a short time later. Police say he became agitated and combative as the officer approached. However, the man calmed down after a passerby offered to help the officer. RCMP want to speak with the unknown passerby, to thank him and to get a witness statement.Written and reported by Lisa Cordasco. Senior Reporter and News Director for CHLY 101.7FM.Have a tip?

Dr. Bonnie Henry says so far, seven workers from the Crow Lake Project near Fort MacMurray have tested positive for the virus and she expects more will be confirmed.In BC, 52 new cases of the virus have been confirmed since Saturday, including five in the Island Health Region. That means there are just under 1700 cases province-wide, including 102 in Island Health. There have been five more deaths since Saturday, bringing the total to 86. The report did not name where the most recent deaths occurred.Meanwhile, Dr. Henry has confirmed that there are eight cases of COVID-19 in Alert Bay.

Last week, Alert Bay's mayor revealed he was infected with COVID-19. Dennis Buchanan suspects he caught it from a traveller. Now, travellers to Alert Bay have to prove their travel is necessary. The emergency declaration gives local officials the power to take any steps necessary to ensure compliance.Indigenous and remote and rural communities in BC will get extra resources to help them deliver timely care to those affected by COVID-19. One of the challenges in treating remote residents is getting them quickly to health facilities outside of their communities. To improve travel time, the province will provide 55 new ambulances and five fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters dedicated to BC's remote communities. It will also provide self-isolation sites near hospitals, along with culturally sensitive delivery of care.Charges are being recommended against a Nanaimo RCMP officer, involved in an incident a year and a half ago. BC's Independent Investigations Office examined actions taken during the arrest and detention of a woman on December 2nd, 2018. The woman suffered serious injuries. The IIO investigation concludes the unidentified officer may have committed offences in the application of force. The IIO has forwarded its report to the BC Prosecution Service. The Prosecution Service will decide whether to lay charges based on the likelihood of conviction and whether a prosecution is in the public interest.Written and reported by Lisa Cordasco.

This is a special episode that I wanted to get out right away. It's an important talk about the fire situation in western Canada, but more importantly, what we can do in townsites like Banff, Canmore, and Jasper…and with that said, let's get to it. This presentation was organized through the Rockies Institute and featured Cliff White who worked for almost 4 decades with Banff National Park. He started as a park warden but rose through the ranks to positions including vegetation fire management specialist, manager of ecosystem research and restoration, as well as three years as the National Fire Management Officer. Cliff knows forest fires. He understands the ecology surrounding fire ecology and has dedicated his career to working with government to help to bring wildfire back to the landscape while at the same time helping communities to better protect themselves from fires that threaten homes and properties. In this program, he details the fire history of the Rockies while also showing how the lack of fire has altered the ecology for the worse. His message focuses not only on how the return of fire is critical to the landscapes of western North America, but also how communities can play a role in protecting their perimeter from the potential for Fort MacMurray style fires. In the next episode, I'll be talking a lot more about fire. This year has created a situation where the mountain west has been defined by the threat of fire. Unfortunately, it is a bill that has been long due. The fires we've been experiencing have long been inevitable and I'll look at British Columbia and how the fires of 2003 helped to provide a prescription for a better future but unfortunately, little was done towards accomplishing those goals. In the presentation, the Rockies Institutes Laura Lynes introduces the Institute and is followed by Karen Barkely, a program manager with the Rockies Institute who introduces Cliff. This program is one that all residents of the Bow Valley and wider mountain landscape should listen to. I hope you enjoy it.

Ken Steele's 10th annual higher ed "year in review" looks back at 2016 and sums up the major news and trends shaping the postsecondary landscape in just 6 words. In part 1, he reviews the many tragedies of 2016, from the loss of famous celebrities and great thinkers to Zika and Brangelina. 2016 was a year that left many feeling adrift, and the surge towards populism gave us Brexit, Trump, and Boaty McBoatface. Plenty of trends we identified in previous years continued in 2016, from gender equity and sexual assault protocols to political correctness, indigenous content and "peak campus". But in this episode, we look at a major disaster and an emerging trend that defined the year that was: 1) FIRE! The biggest news story in Canada was unquestionably the Fort MacMurray wildfire, which swept through 1.5 million acres in northern Alberta. It caused the emergency evacuation of all 88,000 residents in town, destroyed 2,400 homes, and caused about $9 billion in damage. Keyano College was fortunate, in that its campuses escaped structural damage, but smoke remediation still cost about $15 million. Canada is still feeling the economic and labour market impacts of the disaster. 2) FREE! Momentum towards free tuition programs has been building across North America for several years. In 2014, the "Tennessee Promise" offered students 2 years of community college for zero tuition. In 2015, President Obama proposed a $60 billion "American College Promise" program, and Minnesota and Oregon approved plans of their own. In 2016, Kentucky followed suit, and Bernie Sanders pushed for free university tuition as well. Obama - https://youtu.be/nFWhzdQcwnk Sanders - https://youtu.be/c4I2dbTxpqU In Canada, Quebec CÉGEPs have been offering free tuition for 50 years now, but in 2016 Ontario and New Brunswick launched new programs. The Canadian Federation of Students published a report calling for "education justice," and calculating that it would cost the federal government $10.2 billion. CFS staged a day of protest in early November. Charlatan - https://youtu.be/5PUQ3L8zBQI Next time, in part 2, we'll look at the global shift towards populism, protectionism, and a post-truth distrust of intellectuals. The trends pose major challenges, and some opportunities, to higher education. Stay tuned until after the closing credits for some bloopers!

Fort MacMurray residents I've been speaking to since the fire, and who always sound so positive and cheerful, sent me an email about how life really is.  They are flat broke, no work, their phone appointment with the Red Cross for help is October 14.They don't know how they'll survive winter.

TheSparkAndTheArt.com/107 – In today's chat we talk to comic artist and illustrator Scott Kowalchuk. We talk about a lot of things including where he started and what he did to pitch his very first comic to the comic publisher image comics. It wasn't just a simple idea with a few sketches it was finished books. We also talk about the reason he is being much more calculated about the publishers he does approach and being very honest with himself about the projects he's choosing in the future. **- Links for this episode -** Scott Kowalchuk - http://scottkowalchuk.com/ Scott Kowalchuk - http://scottkowalchuk.blogspot.ca/The Intrepids - http://scottkowalchuk.blogspot.ca/search/label/intrepids Image Comics - https://imagecomics.com Fort MacMurray - http://www.fortmcmurraytourism.com/ Fort McMurray Fire - http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/alberta/the-fort-mcmurray-disaster-read-the-latest-weekend/article29930041/ ACAD - https://acad.ca/ Batman '66 - http://scottkowalchuk.blogspot.ca/search/label/batman Michel Fiffe, Copra Comic - http://michelfiffe.com/ Bruce Campbell - If Chins Could Kill - https://www.amazon.ca/If-Chins-Could-Kill-Confessions/dp/0312291450 Eckhart Tolle - https://www.eckharttolle.com/ The Power of Now - https://www.eckharttollenow.com/store/item/10/The-Power-of-Now--Paperback-

From his blue collar roots working at the age of 8 years old in a fish plant in Newfoundland, to roughing it on oil rigs, the experiences lived by Country artist Brad Saunders are the scenes and life stories from which his music is derived. Once you’ve experienced the unique sound and style that he brings to the table musically, it is immediately apparent that he was born to be a musician. He proudly credits his father for passing on music to him at a young age. In fact, some of Brad’s earliest memories are of his father strumming his guitar to put Brad and his brothers to sleep at night. In this act, the stage was set early on and would become the foundation of Brad’s musical pursuits. Over the last year, Brad has spent a lot of his time working in Nashville, writing with some of the towns most reputable song writers such as: Phil O’Donnell, Bruce Wallace, Ole Publishing, and many others. Brad is currently in development with Jeff Ojeda of Chief Music Management: Florida Georgia Line, Chris Lane, Dallas Smith. Brad has also sparked the interest of award-winning producer Jeff Johnson (Wes Mack, Madeline Merlo, Dallas Smith). They are currently working on Brad’s future album. You'll hear Brad's new song "Cut To The Chase" as well a special song he wrote and recorded for Fort MacMurray, Alberta called "Bring On The Rain."

The oil price is up - and down; the £ is down. Temperatures are up in Canada to record levels for May and wildfires have broken out in Alberta, leading to the evacuation of some 80,000 residents from the town of Fort MacMurray.  In Nevada the train goes up, the train goes down. It's called advanced rail energy storage. Solar Impulse 2, the electric aeroplane, flew up from Mountain View, California, at dawn last Monday and came down 16 hours later to land in Goodyear, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona, exactly as planned. Smart meters for all by 2020, but not if Stop Smart Meters can help it. They think they know what the energy companies are up to. And they won't bring bills down.  Also in this episode, Would Brexit damage the environment? Britain Stronger in Europe, the body leading the Remain campaign presents 10 green reasons for staying in. Sir David Mackay, author of SEWTHA, died last month aged only 48. The energy debate continues. But first, Hinkley C, the planned nuclear power station which is the cornerstone of the UK government's energy policy, is in the news again. And it's not good news.
