Memorial hiring indigenous profs, new mental health facility, social worker speaks out about Innu teen Wally Rich, an Inuk woman from Makkovik living in Iqaluit, new Habitat for Humanity homeowners and setting a record on the Pioneer Footpath - a podcast by CBC Radio

On today's show, Memorial University is hiring a cluster of Indigenous professors. Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Derrick Bragg joins us to talk about a new mental health and addictions facility for Labrador and about transportation, of course. A social worker speaks out. We hear the story of Wally Rich, an Innu teen who took his own life in a Labrador group home back in May. On this week's segment of Labrador Away, we go North to chat with an Inuk woman from Makkovik who's made a life for herself in Iqaluit. Andrea Andersen tells us how being away from home makes her reflect on the good and the bad of the Big Land. We drop by a ceremony celebrating two Happy Valley-Goose Bay families who became new homeowners through Habitat for Humanity. How fast can you run a 60 km trail that winds along the south coast? Two Labrador runners did it under 9 hours. We speak with Shaun MacLean and Jessica Dahn on the show.
