A new survey finds that young nurses are leaving the workforce, with 26 out of 100 below the age of 35 making their exit after starting up in 2024. Policy think-tank MEI wrote the report, and their vice-president of research Gerard Lucyshyn joins to beak down the data. 

The July census for the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whale out of the Washinton-based Centre for Whale Research found a two-whale increase since 2025. What’s the context on this modest growth? Here for reaction is Raincoast Cetacean Research Program biologist Janine McNeilly.

A democracy expert with Vancouver Island University says some unique electoral dynamics could shape local election outcomes – the results of which we will share with you tomorrow night live as they come in. Today we’re taking a big picture look at the local races with Daniel Westlake, a senior research fellow with the Jarislowsky Chairs in Trust and Political Leadership.

It’s been a busy 48 hours on the B.C. election trail, with a leaders debate followed by another BC Conservative candidate getting fired, and controversy surrounding a draft plan for limiting compensation to forest companies in land transfers to First Nations. Time to catch up with the Canadian Press Legislative Reporter Wolfgang Depner. 

Dallas from the Vic Food Guys joins for Friday Food Vibes, featuring The Indian lab grand opening, trick-or-treat ice cream, an empanada pop-up and more.

It’s the Great BC Shake out today and as we get set to do our practice run at 10:15 a.m., let’s catch up with Erin Stockill! You may know her as emergency program officer for the district of Saanich, but she’s also the Vice President of the BC Earthquake Alliance.

The Victoria band known for poking fun at ferry waits in their name is also recognizing today as the great BC Shake Out, with their 2025 song about the subject: the Big One. Cam from the band is joining us to talk about why it’s important – at least in art – to have a smile in the face of natural disaster.

New opinion data commissioned by the BC division of the Canadian Mental Health Association is highlighting some priorities for people heading into the provincial election, including overwhelming support for upstream supports before things reach a crisis. CAMH BC CEO Jonny Morris is joining us for more.

We’ve been so focused on our double election season we almost forgot about the U.S. mid-terms, but Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra says they’re watching us closely for signs of interference in the mid-terms. This comes after U.S. president Trump made more explosive remarks yesterday at a rally, saying Canada will “end up being the 51st state.” Local retired diplomat Jeremy Kinsman has made some time for us to share his reaction.
