Good News Tuesday runs on stories sent in by listeners through a dedicated text line, and this week starts with Kyle Lowry set to sign a one-day contract so he can officially retire as a Toronto Raptor, with his number 7 headed for the rafters.

 

From there, a young soccer fan in Saskatchewan set out to copy his favourite player's haircut and ended up donating his hair to a child with cancer instead. The segment also swings through Halifax, where a mural festival is turning blank walls into colour, and a smaller-scale version of the same idea happening right in Merrickville's monthly Art Walk.

 

Somewhere between a jersey retirement and a kid with clippers, this one makes a case for how small choices turn into someone else's best day.
