Today: Mal Anderson of the Exchange District Biz will tell us all about what's happening in the city's 'it' neighbourhood.
Along with the daily "crime courts and public safety update", we will try to answer a political question posed via social media by a Free Press reporter.
And as usual in our weekly sports segment, Frank the Italian Barber will explain the ups and downs of life with his bookie.
Tuesday: The City is holding an Active Transportation Open House on Wednesday, from 4-8 PM, at Red River College Princess Campus. This is specifically about plans to add bike lanes or pathways along 4 routes in the city.
Community Living Publisher Bob Axford thinks the motoring public is being lulled to sleep by a process in which co-opted consultants cater to a small vocal minority of cycling enthusiasts, who strike fear into the hearts of councillors and MLA's. The results of people not waking up, could be the loss of parking and easy travel near your own home. He'll explain who is up to what in an exclusive interview.
Wednesday: At 4.05 PM, Tahl East, acting director of CDI College, will preview a blood donation drive on June 25th and 26th, as well as a Stem Cell awareness lunch and registration/DNA swabbing to become a stem cell/bone marrow donor, facilitated by Canadian Blood Services. This is in support of Chantelle's Promise, a cause started by a CDI College student in the Addictions and Community Service Worker Program battling leukemia in the hospital.
And at 5.10, Kelly Dehn of CTV will share his weekly Crimewatch report.
Thursday: The Public Utilities Board wades into the ground-transportation business next week when it hears an application from Avion, still trying to find a way to pocket fares away from taxicabs at the airport. Joan Wilson, GM of Unicity Taxi, will help sort thru the issues, not the least of which is, how can Avion be granted a licence if it plans to refuse handicapped patrons?
We're also hoping to have an eyewitness acvcount of the Open House at the U of M from Wednesday night, about the David Asper stadium plan.
And, we'll look towards the happenings at the Osborne Village Canada Day Festival and give away VIP passes to see and hear the great Derek Miller!
