The Crisis in Haiti, Alberta Wildfire Season, and “National Read to Me Day”

The crisis in Haiti continues to grow more and more precarious following the rise in gang violence and the resignation of The Haitian Prime Minister. What role should Canada be playing in this unfolding situation? We tackle the topic with Mercedes Stephenson, Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief and Host of “The West Block”.   Next, following a record-setting wildfire season in 2023, Alberta is bracing for what could be a busy one again this summer. As we enter the wildfire season this year, what is the Province doing to brace for the flames? We discuss with Derrick Forsythe, Information Officer with Alberta Wildfire.   Finally, it’s “National Read to Me Day”, a chance to promote reading to the kids in our lives. We catch up with Ryan Smith, co-owner of Owl’s Nest Books, to talk about the importance of reading to our children and get some recommendations for some engaging titles for kids of all ages!
