EPISODE 24:
We find out why the University of Copenhagen has stopped referring to the Great Lakes as 'great'. MP Doug Oublemont tells host Pat Kelly about a new proposed federal holiday in February called 'government day'. Two members of Vancouver's West End Space Alliance tell us their plans to build the world's first ever 'off-leash cat park'. We are also proud to announce that Peter Oldring has been nominated for a Winter Solstice Radio Award for his piece The Winning Trail. It explores the darker side of cross-country skiing and we'll be sharing that with you again. Plus, we play your calls in reaction to our story about a North Dakota town suing a Manitoba wind farm for stealing their wind.
