Economic Impact of Stampede, Understanding the Growing Anti-Immigrant Sentiment, and Crossroads Farmers Market’

Summer isn’t cancelled and the ‘Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth’ will go ahead as planned despite Calgary’s state of emergency and water conservation efforts following the water feeder main break. Just how ‘big’ of an economic impact does the Stampede have on the City? We ‘crunch the numbers’ with Deborah Yedlin, President & CEO, Calgary Chamber.   Next, what’s behind the growing anti-immigrant sentiment in our country? Canada prides itself on its multiculturalism and welcoming newcomers into Canada, but has that started to change? We tackle the topic with Ravi Jain, Immigration lawyer at Jain Immigration Law and past President of the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association.   Finally, an unexpectedly cold start to the year means bad news for farmers in BC and will impact what fruit you’re eating this summer. We discuss the situation and what it means for both farmers and consumers with Nicole Schon, Manager of the ‘Crossroads Farmers Market’.
