Saskatchewan warm-up & the importance of road safety in Canada

Loading player...
Saskatchewan is in the middle of an unusual warm spell, with temperatures well above seasonal norms — and today some communities could see highs of plus five or warmer. Why is this happening, and what does it tell us about the rest of winter? Joining guest host Brent Loucks to break it down is David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Carol Brons, founding member of Safer Roads Canada and mother of Dayna Brons, who was the athletic therapist for the 2017-18 Humboldt Broncos team, joins guest host Brent Loucks to discuss what she makes of the recent stories and what advocacy work the organization continues to do, years after the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
