The Evan Bray Show

This week, it's been five years since the COVID pandemic locked us all down and began to make a marked change in everyone's lives. Now, five years since the illness first hit our province, Evan welcomes Dr. Joseph Blondeau, Saskatoon clinical microbiologist and Head of Clinical Microbiology at RUH and the University of Saskatchewan, back to the show to discuss what changes and lessons we saw come out of the pandemic.

This week marks five years since the COVID-19 pandemic changed everyone's lives, put communities into lockdown and began taking lives in Saskatchewan. In hindsight, what have we actually learned from the pandemic? What aspects of it still impact our lives and society today? Evan asks these questions to Dr. Amy Kaler, professor in the department of sociology at the University of Alberta.

Evan sits down with Mayor of Regina, Chad Bachynski, for his monthly mayoral panel check-in. Mayor Bachynski takes Evan's and your questions and gives an update on Regina's state of affairs.

Evan goes to the phones to chat with listeners about what's on their minds today.

Causing concern alongside tariffs from the U.S. are those being imposed on Canadian goods by China. As countries continue to retaliate in this growing trade war, Evan speaks with Vina Nadjibulla, vice-president of research & strategy for the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada.
