Green Line LRT Cut, 4-Day Work Weeks, and Mental Health Moment

The Green Line just got a whole lot shorter. Calgary City Council has cut 6 stops out of the Green Line project after facing a significant cost increase. We discuss the challenges ahead for the controversial project with David Cooper, Principal in ‘Leading Mobility Consulting’ and Former Senior Transit Planner for Calgary Transit.   Next, the August long weekend is on the horizon, but wouldn’t it be nice if every weekend was a long weekend? Could “four-day work weeks” become standard in Canada and what benefits would it present, for not only employees but also employers? We get the thoughts of Jean-Nicolas Reyt, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Management at McGill University. Finally, how can we effectively support people displaced by the Jasper wildfires that may have lost their businesses and homes? We discuss the the best pathways to ‘cope’ with the mental stress of disasters with Karen Gallagher-Burt, Mental Health Advocate & Social Worker.
