Show Notes
We’re headed into another heat wave after the recent one that was responsible for a total of 70 deaths in Quebec and 3 suspected in Ontario. The drastic difference in numbers is because the provinces use different protocols for reporting. The question is does the Quebec model make it easier to intervene and save lives? Libby is joined by Dr. David Kaiser from Montreal’s public health office to talk about it.
AND Do you have an extra bedroom? Can you use some extra cash, some help around the house and some company? That’s the starting point for a new house-sharing project that will pair seniors and young people. CARP is getting behind it along with the City of Toronto. Laura Tamblyn Watts and Andrea Austen dropped by the studio to talk about it.
