Honouring Bart Jack Senior, Cartwright phones/internet woes, Bennett's gas pumps to close in HVGB, Sheshatshiu vigil, Wally Rich's mother speaks, solutions for the child welfare system and a memorial dart tournament - a podcast by CBC Radio

On today's show, we pay tribute to the late Bart Jack Senior, a well-known and respected Innu elder. It's been about a week of frustration for many residents in Cartwright after phone and internet lines have been destroyed by blasting. We check-in on how things are going. We hear from Bennett's Limited business manager on how the closure of the Ultramar gas pump in HVGB is impacting her company. Sonya Bennett Sellars talks about the lay offs and the the plan for restructuring. The community of Sheshatshiu held a vigil this week to remember Joyce Echaquan. We speak with a leader on how the story of the Quebec woman's death in the health care system resonates with people here. He was just 15 years old when he died in a Labrador group home in the spring. Now, Wally Rich's mother tells her story. Also, how do you make the child welfare system work better for Innu children? We talk about the solutions. A Hopedale woman organised a dart tournament to honour a special person in her life.
