Fireworks with Mayor Gondek, 2023 Kindle Pursuit, and Calgary Surge Home Opener

There’ve been a lot of fireworks over the topic of fireworks this week. Good news is, the fireworks will once again be a go for Canada Day 2023. Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek joined us on the show to talk about the controversial decision to kibosh the fireworks then the reversal in response to public backlash! They’re usually on the front line looking after sick children, but 4 pediatric cancer nurses are trading in their scrubs for running shoes to raise money to send kids with cancer to camp. The nurses are competing in the 2023 Kindle Pursuit. One of those all-important front line workers, Caitlin Smallwood, joined the show this morning to tell us what they’re doing and why! The countdown to tip off is underway! The season opener for Calgary’s new Canadian Elite Basketball League team is this weekend! The Calgary Surge will play out of Winsport Arenas and the excitement is building. We had the pleasure of chatting with guard Mason Bourcier to get the low down on the new team in town!
