9:00 – Bugsday, the Hour of Rage!

10:00 – When you’re a young kid, one way you can make money in the winter (whether it be in a small town or the city) is becoming a referee for minor hockey. But what happens when other coaches and parents take the fun out of it by belittling you, harassing you, calling you names, and criticizing all of your calls? Abuse against refs has been going on for decades, but Kelly McClintock with Hockey Saskatchewan says it’s gotten worse during the COVID pandemic, as people are more angry. McClintock joins Gormley to discuss what he’s been hearing at from the hockey community.

11:00 – When he announced the end of COVID-19 restrictions in Saskatchewan Tuesday, Premier Scott Moe emphasized the need for healing and forgiveness as we work to repair the divides caused by the pandemic. Many friendships and close relationships were damaged during disagreements over vaccines, restrictions, misinformation, and more, there is a lot of work to do and it can be difficult to know where to start. Clinical psychologist Dr. Katy Kamkar joins Gormley to share her advice on overcoming the psychological hurdles we’ll face on the road back to unity.

12:00 – Not everyone who has COVID-19 recovers quickly. People who experience continuing or new symptoms after initial COVID-19 infection (such as fatigue, difficulty breathing, joint pain, and memory issues) are recognized as having ‘Long COVID.’ Long COVID has been reported by between 30-75 per cent of recovering COVID-19 patients, but not much is known about the condition. Scientists at VIDO are hoping to change that. The team developed a mobile/web app to learn more about people’s experiences in order to gather evidence on the impact of COVID-19 in Saskatchewan to help guide the establishment of provincial health care support and treatment for those with Long COVID. Dr. Alyson Kelvin with VIDO joins Gormley to tell us more about the project and how those suffering Long COVID can get involved.
