The president-elect of the CMA shares his priorities

Every week it seems there's a new headline about health care: Four million Canadians can't find a family doctor...Clinics are cherry-picking wealthy clients...Wait times are through the roof.

 

Well, one of the most influential voices in this debate has a new leader. The Canadian Medical Association has elected Dr. Christopher Simpson, the chief of cardiology at Queen's University, to lead the CMA starting next year. He joined us from Kingston to explain his priorities.

seats.jpgWhen you go to a play or a movie, you're probably focusing on the stage or the screen. You're likely not thinking about what you're sitting on. But that's been the year-long preoccupation for Mitchell Burton.

 

Mitchell is one of the artists-in-residence at the School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa, and on Friday night, he'll debut his solo show "Seats."It's a photographic tour of Ottawa spaces where people sit down and take a load off, and Mitchell joined us to explain.

Ottawa Tomahawks logo Today at city hall, Ottawa learned the name of its new team in the National Basketball League of Canada. The pro team will be called the Tomahawks.

Gus Takkale is the president of Bytown Sports and Entertainment, the driving force behind the Ottawa Tomahawks. He dropped by All in a Day's studios.
