8:30 – John went on a rant Friday, criticizing the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency’s response after a man died of a heart attack in the parking lot of the Saskatoon Cancer Centre. Although the SCA promised to investigate the incident and make changes to its policies, they were unwilling to explain what changes were made, what the investigation found, and how they would prevent similar incidents from happening again. This morning he’s joined by SCA CEO Dr. Jon Tonita to help clear up exactly what was done after the tragic death and why the cancer agency was so unwilling to comment.

11:00 – Brandt President Shaun Semple says his company is caught in the middle of the political dispute over the development of Canadian National Institute for the Blind’s expanded facility in Regina’s Wascana Park, which Brandt is leading. After a dispute over whether the replacement building was included in the master plan for the park, the project to replace the CFIB’s previous building was put on hold while provincial auditor completes a review of the project. Semple says he’s sick of the misinformation around the project, as their goal was to help CFIB and not make a profit. Semple joins John now to discuss the project.

11:30/12:00 – Canada is expected to lose as many as 9,000 churches in the next decade (roughly a third of the total in the country) as congregations shrink and costs rise. This will come as a major loss in many areas, as churches are important hubs for the community in addition to being places of worship. Is there a solution? Should communities be pushing harder to save these churches, or coming up with alternate arrangements? Can we expect to see larger, multi-faith churches serving larger geographic areas, or smaller community congregations that might rent a space rather than owning (and funding) a dedicated church building?
