Latest on Russia-Ukraine, Importance of Physical Activity, Motivational Monday, and Pledge Day!

We begin with an update on the war in Ukraine. The past few days have been marked by a ‘barrage’ of Russian bombs aimed at crippling Ukraine power plants and critical infrastructure. We get the latest on the war from Ivan Katchanovski, Professor of Political Science from University of Ottawa  Could 15 minutes of physical activity per day save your life? We catch up with Dr. Ted Jablonski, our “on-call family physician”, for details on a new study that draws the connection between moderate exercise and a decreased risk of breast cancer.  Then, it’s another edition of “Motivational Monday”. We meet a Calgary man who shares his personal story of how his time volunteering with the “Big Brothers Big Sisters” program has changed his life.   And finally, our annual “Pledge Day” takes place THIS FRIDAY here on 770 CHQR. Our “on-air contributor” Dave McIvor continues to highlight some of the charities that your donated dollars help! This time out, Dave shines the spotlight on the “Star” program, part of “Youth Singers Calgary”
