UCP Parental Rights Proposal, Black History Month and the Arts, and Carbon Monoxide Protection

Alberta’s UCP government is proposing strict legislation around parental consent for name changes in schools and age limits on gender affirmation care for young people - among other things. We discuss the impact of these proposed changes with Trans Rights Activist, Tammy Plunkett. Next, what power does art have to educate? We catch up with Robert Small, Artist and “Order of Canada Recipient,” to hear how he uses his art to highlight the accomplishments of Black Canadians – as we observe “Black History Month”. If faced with an emergency at home, do you and your family have a plan? From Smoke Alarms to Carbon Monoxide detectors, we discuss the ‘essentials’ you need in your home and what steps you should take to safeguard your family in an emergency with Carol Henke, Public Information Officer with the Calgary Fire Department.
