How are you sleeping these days? Sleep researcher and educator Diana McMillan explains how exactly to get a good night's sleep. Starlink satellite internet is now beaming down into Labrador. Jim Goudie of Postville and Dwight Lethbridge of Cartwright shared with us their experience with the service. On this day in 1946 the first ship carrying war brides and children docked at Pier 21 in Halifax. Beatrice Ellen Whittle was a war bride, but she had already settled into Labrador by that time. Beatrice's grandson, Larry Pardy, told Labrador Morning the story. The Labrador West Housing and Homelessness Coalition opened a three-bedroom emergency shelter on January 22nd. Gena Decker joined us to discuss the shelter. Earlier this week, M.P. Yvonne Jones' office organised a meeting so that Vale could address concerns, raised by AngajukKaks, regarding Covid-19 at Voisey's Bay. She spoke with us live to talk about what was discussed. With their taproom re-opening, Business Manager and Co-owner of Iron Rock Brewing Company, Brian Hurley shared how the company found "the one ray of sunshine" that has helped them get through the pandemic this far. Dr. Lin is back with some information about what is meant by "Learning to Live with Covid.".
