8:30 – With students set to head back to school in just a month’s time, many parents are still concerned about the risks COVID-19 may present for their children. Meanwhile, there are conflicting reports on how susceptible children are to the virus, with some indicating that kids can catch and transmit COVID just as easily as adults, and others suggesting children are basically immune. Dr. Joseph Blondeau joins Mike to cut through the misinformation and tell us what the scientific community really knows about how the virus interacts with children.

11:00 – Saskatchewan’s first supervised drug consumption site is going to open in Saskatoon’s Pleasant Hill neighbourhood in October.
