8:30 – In just nine days, Saskatchewan residents will have to prove their vaccination status if they want to get in the door of a restaurant, bar, gym, nightclub, or event venue, and while a new QR code system was launched this week through eHealth, some have struggled to log on and access their vaccination data. eHealth made the decision to do away with the PIN requirement, making access easier but leaving some confused about the process. Davin Church is VP of Programs and Technology for eHealth, and he joins Gormley to walk us through accessing our data, and tell us about the strain the system is currently facing.

9:00 – The Hour of the Big Stories… Open Session
10:00 – Columnist Matt Gurney is concerned about the future of Conservative politics in Canada. Writing in The Line, Gurney argued that “A strong and viable CPC is a bulwark against the rising power of a hard, nasty right-wing fringe in this country,” and said O’Toole would need to produce some sort of victory Monday in order to keep the party unified. With O’Toole (and the other parties) ending up almost exactly where they started, Gurney joins John to discuss the future of the Conservative Party, and whether the more progressive or harder-right voices are likely to control the future of the opposition party. Should Erin O’Toole stay on as CPC leader? Call 1-877-332-8255 and let us know what you think!

12:00 – A new book by award-winning photographer Chris Attrell has captured an iconic-but-disappearing part of Saskatchewan’s culture and history: grain elevators. In ‘Grain Elevators: Beacons of the Prairies,’ Attrell “captures the haunting presence of those that remain to stand guard over an ever-changing agrarian lifestyle.” Attrell also maintains an online interactive map of all the remaining wooden elevators in the province, which loses about five historic elevators each year. The new book, featuring photos by Attrell and text by Christine Hanlon, went on sale at the start of this month, and Attrell joins Gormley to tell us about the project.
