Welcome to the MWSA Podcast for Friday, June 25th.

We begin with a conversation about the second horrific discovery of unmarked graves at a former Residential School site, this time in Saskatchewan. We speak with Paul Kuster, Calgary writer, former broadcaster and Indigenous Advocate. We also hear Paul’s thoughts on how non-indigenous Canadians can be advocates to help those suffering at this time.

Next, it’s our weekly chat with Mayor Naheed Nenshi. We ask the Mayor for the latest details on the arena project which is now being reworked behind the scenes due to budgetary concerns ahead of construction.

Every year the Calgary Stampede generates millions of dollars for the economy, but what will the 2021 event do for local businesses? We speak with the Chief Economist at Alberta Central.

And finally, a new poll shows Albertans have a lot of financial stress right now. We get details on the survey from Marie Kozlowski, Licensed Insolvency Trustee and Vice President of BDO. Marie also shares with us the resources available in the province for those who are currently struggling.
