In The Neighbourhood

CBC News producer Steve McNally recently took a trip back to the Ottawa neighbourhood where he grew up to meet up with some old school friends. But this isn't just any school reunion - or even a particularly happy one. An alarming number of Steve's old schoolmates had become very ill with the same debilitating condition. The question they've been trying to answer for decades now is, could this really just be coincidence? NEXT: Sitting at her desk at the Saskatoon Tribal Council, Dawn Deguire hit an emotional wall. Dawn desperately wanted to be brought back to the last time she felt well: when she was practicing yoga nearly a decade before. Just a few days later, Dawn got an unexpected phone call from a visionary who wanted her help creating a scholarship program for Indigenous yoga teachers. This is a story about the surprising intercultural connection between the Eastern practice of yoga and Indigenous culture, and one woman’s journey to discover wellness within herself.
