Fixing the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, Food Bank Demand, and Back-to-School Anxiety

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the move to restrict the number of low wage foreign workers in Canada. So, what needs to be done to make our country’s ‘Temporary Foreign Worker’ program function correctly? We tackle the topic with Mike Moffat, Senior Director of Policy and Innovation at the Smart Prosperity Institute. Next. Demand on Food Banks in Canada continues to rise, and here in Calgary our Food Bank is serving up to 750 families every single day. We look at the growing need for the Food Bank in our city and the latest data on ‘food insecurity’ facing Calgarians, with Dr. Lucy Harry, Head of Research at the Calgary Food Bank. It’ll be an early wake-up call for kids this week as they get back into the school routine. For some kids the new school year can be exciting, but it can also be a time of high stress and anxiety. We get some tips on how parents can help their kids get back into routine and navigate the challenges of the new year with Sarah Rosenfeld, Associate Director of Counselling Initiatives at the Calgary Counselling Centre.
