Dr. Maarten Voodouw with the Department of Veterinary Biology explains the types of ticks found in Saskatchewan.
In this interview with Chris Carr, Voodouw also looks at ways to protect ourselves from tick bites and what people should do if they are bitten.
Tribal Chief Mark Arcand addresses wellness centre concerns
A lot of focus has been on the Saskatoon Tribal Council’s wellness centre in the Fairhaven neighbourhood.
Some of that focus has been on a letter sent to the provincial government, calling for a review of the centre. There are also calls asking for more scrutiny around the process of approving shelters in the city.
Saskatoon Tribal Chief Mark Arcand joins Chris Carr to discuss the issues, what are the next steps for the shelter and the support STC is looking for from governments and the community.
