You may have noticed traffic light problems at a few intersections around Thunder Bay over the last few days. What's happening? The CBC's Nicole Ireland hit the streets to find out.

Researchers at Lakehead University might have a way for you to worry less and they hope it won't take too much of your time.

If you're a frequent worrier and over the age of 18 the Lakehead researchers are looking for you.

Alex Penney is heading up the study.

Who you know, and what you say to them: Paul Born believes these are the connections that can change our world.

Born is the President and Coach of the Tamarack Institute for Community Engagement.

He's giving a free public lecture tonight at Lakehead University on the issue of community conversations.

A former Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada was in Thunder Bay today to deliver his report into First Nations Representation on Ontario Juries. We talk with the Honourable Frank Iacobucci about his findings.

The internet is a fabulous spawning ground for fads.

From funny cat pictures to inspirational quotes with the wrong attribution, there's plenty to waste your time on.

Police departments throughout Canada and the US have started using a very modern tool for law enforcement. They're strapping on wearable video cameras.

To find out more we reached Thunder Bay Police Inspector Alan McKenzie.

The CBC's Jody Porter spoke with Sharon and Mary as they walked.
