US election, Nain airstrip, social workers and indigenous research project - a podcast by CBC Radio

On today's show, people from around the world will be tuning into the U.S Presidential election tomorrow night. We hear a man living in Happy Valley-Goose Bay with dual citizenship. If you get sick in Nain and need to be flown out, you better hope it's daylight and the weather is good. Otherwise, flights can't reach the community. That's something Angajukĸâk Julius Dicker says they've been telling government for decades. We hear more of what he has to say on the matter. A staffing shortage, 7 vacant positions, and one social worker to manage more than 150 case files on the Northern Peninsula. We find out what the department of Children, Seniors, and Social Development is doing about it. A new research project is asking Indigenous residents in Labrador to help identify areas that could be improved in people's pre-cancer diagnosis journey. We will talk to the women leading the project.
