The Rookie and the Veteran produced by Gillian Rutherford & Carma Jolly
Two Mounties, two different views of policing. Constable Alex Smith started his R-C-M-P training just one week after four officers were murdered in Mayerthorpe, Alberta.

Meanwhile, his superviser, Staff-Sergeant Colin White has been on the force for 25 years.
Falling for Niagara produced by Kent Hoffman
Niagara Falls was once known as the honeymoon capital of the world, which inspired Oscar Wilde to call it "the second greatest disappointment" of married life.
So what's it like to grow up in Niagara Falls? Sarah Armenia always felt a bit embarrassed that one of the natural wonders of the world was overshadowed by tacky tourist attractions. Sarah returns to the Falls to see if she can finally separate the candy-floss tackiness from what she actually wants to call home.

Listen in on what's going on in the lives of some of the students of Stayner Collegiate High School.
