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.
