We take you to a driving training course that has an outdoor ice skid pad to teach winter driving emergency manoeuvers. The CBC's Samanda Brace brings us that story. She's teaching young and old to stay active in the classroom and online. This morning, the owner of Central Sporties in Grand Falls-Windsor gives us some tips on getting up and moving for our overall well-being. How much do we really know about COVID long haulers? We hear from immunologist Dr. Manali Mukherjee about how many Canadians have experienced long-lasting covid symptoms in this half-hour. Last week you heard about the launch of Memorial Univerity's Labrador Campus, and some reaction to the announcement. Today we hear from Kanani Davis, CEO of Mamu Tshishkutamashutau Innu Education. The Wabush Airport has been without a fire department for a year and a half. Now the union and local MHA say it's time for a change. The CBC's Darryl Dinn brings us the latest on that. In our province, couples with differing needs may be separated into different long-term care homes. But in Nova Scotia, legislation passed last year is keeping couples together. We speak with Michele Lowe of the Nursing Homes of Nova Scotia Association about the "Life Partners in Long Term Care" act. We also speak with long-term care worker Victoria Atabakhsh about how to help your senior friends and family cope with the loneliness of isolating in a pandemic. With the Beijing Winter Olympics right around the corner we hear how CBC Here and Now's Anthony Germain is gearing up to cover this event.
