Today’s show is all about health. Physical, emotional and spiritual health.

To Nova Scotia, where the Strongest Families Institute just received a $230,000 boost for its phone-in counselling service. We then make a stop in the province of Québec where the Dunham House for Mental Health and Addiction provides care for the province’s English-speaking community. In British Columbia, a historic child welfare agreement was signed between the province, Ottawa and the Splatsin Nation. And a cloud of mystery surrounds a disease that plagues more than one hundred New Brunswickers. Their symptoms mimic those of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Health authorities are baffled. Families are asking for a new inquiry.
