    May 23 2025

    Airports can be stressful places for anyone, and for people with disabilities, navigating a terminal can often present unexpected challenges. Fortunately, some organizations are working hard to change that. The Winnipeg Airport Authority is taking meaningful steps to create a more accessible and inclusive experience for all of their passengers. Joining us today to share what’s being done is Julie Capko from the Winnipeg Airport Authority. Plus, Michael Feir tells us all about the many entertainment possibilities found through your smartphone, that he writes all about in his brand new guide to using your iPhone.

    The weather is getting better; everyone wants to spend more time outdoors and enjoy the short warm weather season. With so many options from picnics to backyard BBQ’s and everything in between, it’s hard to know where to start! Today we will talk about considerations for all your summer fun with Leanne Baarda. As the class of 2025 prepares to enter the workforce, new research from Robert Half highlights the top challenges early-career professionals may face along with practical steps to overcome them. We get into all this with our friend Michael French, from Robert Half Canada.
