Mornings With Sue & Andy July 30, 2024

What can we learn from the wildfire devastation in Jasper in order to better prepare for future wildfires that could threaten Alberta communities? We invited Jack Lindsay, Professor in Disaster and Emergency Studies at Brandon University, to join us to discuss Canada’s emergency preparedness strategy. Continuing the conversation about wildfires, we talked with Cliff White, who is the former Environmental Science Manager for Banff National Park. He says “Banff is primed to burn” and is at serious risk from wildfire. And finally, small business week is coming up – but ahead of that, NOW is the time to nominate a small business in your community, to help get them the recognition they deserve! To talk about the importance of our small business community and the upcoming awards ceremony, we checked in with Melanie McDonald, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, Partnerships and Engagement at the Calgary Chamber.
