8:30 – We’ve just finished our first weekend with vaccine passports in Saskatchewan, but will the requirement to prove your vaccine status or present a negative test to get into bars, gyms, and restaurants actually help lower our COVID cases and hospitalizations, and encourage more people to get vaccinated? We’re putting that question to you in one of Gormley’s patented Reality Checks: Are vaccine passports the right move? Call 1-877-332-8255 and add your voice to our poll.
REALITY CHECK: Are vaccine passports the right move?
9:00 – Nadine Wilson, the MLA who has represented the constituency of Saskatchewan Rivers since 2007, resigned last week after misrepresenting her vaccination status. Ms. Wilson is not vaccinated and the information came to light as the province moved toward its proof-of-vaccination policy for government staff which started October 1. Wilson will remain as an MLA but will be considered an Independent in the legislature. Wilson joins Gormley to explain her departure from the Sask Party caucus and what’s next for her as an independent MLA.
LIVE: Nadine Wilson, independent MLA.
9:00 – Hour of the Big Stories
10:00 – When it comes to vaccination in Saskatchewan, there’s a large divide between urban and rural populations, with rural residents lagging behind. Dr. Kevin Wasko with the Saskatchewan Health Authority is the physician executive for integrated rural health, and he joins Gormley to tell us which areas of the province are still slow to get their jabs, why there’s a divide between urban and rural populations, and what the SHA is doing to encourage vaccination outside of urban centres.
